@Horatio Delbert...
Could D-limonene be substituted/replace iso-propyl alcohol...or more specifically will the D-limonene evaporate out (purge) similar to iso?
you've earned my ear.
Limonene has a higher boiling point so I believe it is being pulled off as an azeotrope with multiple water washes.
does anyone wanna talk about strong cation exchange resins for potential thc-a purification?
That's the process Horatio profers and on our list of experiments with the Hiedolph we have on loan. The most talkative I've see Horatio on the subject, is his thread on the subject on Toke City.
A polysaccharide network would have proper hydrophilic and lipophilic tendencies. A GW Pharma Patent from 2003 makes claims to a certain brand that has been used for separation of proteins, lipids, polyphenols, flavanoids, low molecular-weight peptides.
I'll look back into the details of it's contents, pKa, etc..
I would say use a strongly acidic anion exchange resin for the carboxylic acid to bind to. Elute unwanteds with something like methanol + H20. Follow with a column wash using a strong acid to release the cannabinoid acids from suspension.
I do believe this method should see separation from longer chain fatty acids and such, but not separation of individual cannabinoids. Any thoughts?
Some of us can extract complete terpene profiles that are strain specific. We us co2 to do it.
you may collect SOME terps, but you are not retaining the complete profile
how can i make my bho absolutley clear?
With a series of filters i reckon
possibly some temperature variation.
