Multisolvent heatless extraction of Kratom: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

# Slowly add the vinegar or aqueous acid solution to the raw powder. It is important that this step is performed first. Stir the vinegar into the powder. The powder is so powdery it seems to resist getting wet by the vinegar. Use enough vinegar to completely saturate the kratom, but not too much so that it creates a soupy solution.

# Let this acid-kratom mixture sit for an hour.

# Add the [[~~isopropylalcohol~~]] or nonpolar solvent of choice. Stir vigorously, make sure every particle of kratom comes into contact with this solvent.

# Add the [[Isopropyl alcohol extraction for purification, recrystalization, or blotting | isopropyl alcohol]] or nonpolar solvent of choice. Stir vigorously, make sure every particle of kratom comes into contact with this solvent.

# This is where patience comes in. I don't like to heat alcohol solutions without a vent hood, so I let good old father time do the extraction for me. Let this mixture sit for at least 2 days. Agitate daily.

# After you've waited 2-4 days, decant off the kratom-alkaloid containing kratom that has now separated as the top layer of material in the mason jar. Decant this solution into a prepared pyrex pan.
