kirby any help with this would be appr.

ok foilman

ive done this a long time and never had a problem

every time i played i was switched on

straight

and focussed

you be anything else and your going to have ammonia burns that will scar you for life..

what do you want to know???

swim sees no reason to explain how swim clean the pills as swim finds that each pill requires its own cleaning regime,,swim will start with his pre-reduction preparations...

for the reduction swim uses a heavy walled 4 litre beer brewing bottle purchased from a home beer brewing shop..

in this goes a rubber stopper,,3 holes,,one for squirting in the eph through an 8mm dia hose that goes into the bottle by 120mm,,so the eph doesnt splatter onto the walls eg; no wastage..

middle hole has 30feet of 8mm dia clear plastic hose which goes to the second story roof as such venting ammonia gas high..

3rd hole has an 5mm dia spring in it,,and the stirring rod...

bottle has 4 large marbles in it to help with the stirring and helps stop bumping..

sodium metal is cut into match stick size pieces and placed into a bowl of hexane, then placed next to overhead stirrer..

quenching dnh2o, 100ml per oz, is in squeezee bottle next to overhead stirrer..

1 litre of hexane in squeezee bottle is placed next to O/H stirrer,,for cleaning insides of bottle in case eph splashes onto bottle wall,and for putting another 50ml into eph squeezee bottle to get that last bit of eph..

eph is in squeezee bottle with 180ml of hexane per oz(hexane is used in the A/B and then ALL water is separated, then eph and hexane poured into squeezee bottle), squeezee bottle is then placed next to O/H stirrer

on multiple cooks,where more than one reduction is occuring(often up to 6 beer brewing bottles are used,swim doesnt like doing more than 200grams per bottle)tubs of luke warm water and rubber stoppers with hose to roof are set up in secure location away from O/H stirrer(when reduction finished swim takes bottle to tub and restoppers it and then goes onto next bottle)



ammonia bottle has 3 foot of hose attached to outlet valve,,and ammonia bottle is upside down approx 2 feet off ground..

bottle placed on ground and ammonia hose placed in..

valve is turned partially on so a quick dribble goes into the bottle(bottle is marked on outside in 100ml increments going up to 2.5litres)(for a 200gram cook swim uses about 1.5 litres,,for a 2oz cook swim use 600 to 700ml)when ammonia reaches 1.5litre mark ammonia turned off..

bottle taken and placed under O/H stirrer and sodium metal is dropped in, in one gram increments(approx 30 grams placed in)rubber stopper is now placed in and bottle is given 5 mins to ice up and for the sodium to dissolve..

stirring rod going through rubber stopper is connected to O/H stirrer and turned on to low speed..

eph is squirted in with hexane in small increments(this can take 15 to 25 mins)50ml more hexane is poured into eph squeezee bottle and squeezee bottle shaken to get all eph, this is squirted in,if eph on bottle walls,another 50ml goes into squeezee bottle and walls squirted down..

eph entry hose through rubber stopper is now closed with artery forceps clamping over the hose..

O/H stirrer is now put on high speed and left running for 20mins exactly..(if during that 20mins no blue is visible,2grams of sodium is placed in, and is repeated as needed)

after 20min, O/H stirrer is turned off and bottle rubber stopper is removed..

dnh2o is squirted in to quench and dissolve unwanted crap...

bottle is moved to warm water tub and connected to another hose leading to roof, water temp is raised slowly to hot untill all ammonia is evaporated..

contents of bottle is poured through light filter leaving water and hexane in separatory funnel, water is separated and discarded..

bottle is washed with 50ml of hexane and poured through filter..

another 100ml of hexane is poured through filter catching that last bit of meth..

hexane is then poured through funnel with drying agent..

gas generator is set up,,swim uses sulphuric acid dripping into hydrochloric acid to make the gas..

hexane is gassed for 20seconds ONLY

then filtered..

then regassed filtering each time(it may take 5 gassings before no more meth prcipitates out)..

what is in filter is dried,washed in dnh2o,dried and then 150ml of new hexane is added to it, this is then gassed and collected in filter..

all meth is collected and recrystalized using methanol(the slow way,3 hours allowing methanol to cool to room temp,5 hours in fridge,,then 6 hours in freezer)..

swim thinks thats all,,if swim remembers anything else swim will post it,,

swim hopes this is of some use...

good luck

Yes, I'd be happy to. But that would take a while to type so go to where it says search...click the box that says search by user's name or whatever.....and type mine in there. It'll give you a pretty good starting point, if that's the route you should want to take. Unless you have a more specific question

Hey - Thanks for the reply!!! will check out as u suggested and get back to u w/ more specific inquiries. not looking to make a lot of chiili, just enough for home consumption. again, really appreciate the help!
