What are good ways to test for purity

after an extraction process that should

return eph/pseudoeph hci?

I had evaporated a dish full of dissolved

pseudo, it was a white,sparkly powder,

then I did a burn test on glass with it,

it wouldn't turn black it just melted then

smoked, but the begginning tabs were

30 mg pseudo/500 mg acetaminophen,

for some reason I thought most of what was

a return was more or less acetominophen

with psuedo crystals IN IT.

Can somebody give me advice on a burn test?

pure pseudo test?

cant tell you how to test it other than burn test . but i can tell you that i have never been able to get asprin(acetomin whatever ) . ever thing i did it would still come over with the sudo

Well so much for that...

my evap. dish was sparkly but in relation

to actuall mg's of psu to aceta. is where

I figgured I had mixed contents. say, for

instance though I was successful in a

EPH/guif. exctraction of the eph. what would

a heat/burn test seem like or should look like? no residue if heated to vaporization,

but not so hot as to "charcolize" the psudo?

or does pure psudo HCI charcolize(burn)

no matter what? My aceta/psudo powder

vaporized/smoked until it WAS gone, it would

not burn even under temperatures of a torch,

it would barely turn amber/tan colored before

it smoked itself gone, but holy shit!

After heating the powder intensely and filling the tube with smoke I stuck the flame of the torch into the mouthpiece and

a fuckin fireball shot out the other end.

man that shit was FLAMMABLE(duh) .

it was like, puff, puff, ....shhhhhcc whoosh!!!!! phuck me Acetominophen is dangerous when vaporized then exposed to a flame.

The pseudo will melt brown or amber and give off a smell that you will never forget. The acetaminophen won't burn. Like the man says, Some will always come over with the pseudo. Even if you do the entire procedure in the friggin' freezer.

I heard someone say that Rhodium has some test procedures, including some homemade TLC. You shouldn't have to make it though. Just take home one of the plates from work that you only used half of.
