Color remediation RSO oil

Hash and Stuff Distillation

Hey guys, I’m curious of how to get this working.

As for my research im heading into the Buchner funneln method. Which will be somerhing like.

EQUIPMENT:

  • Buchner funnel (100ml)
  • Vacuum flask (1000ml)
  • Vacuum pump (not quite sure of pressure)
  • 2.5 micron paper (it may work with a unbleashed coffe filter as well)

INGREDIENTS:

  • Activated carbon (food grade)
  • Diatomaceous earth (food grade)
  • Crude oil (rso in aceton solution)

Have not really any clue of which ratios of the AC and Diatomaceous earth that will be used, just saw a video somewhere that were using it.

Well I would like to still have the waxes, but as far I know the RSO (crude oil) will need to be winterized before hand, which would get it unwaxed?

Have seen that the ratio between alcohol and the crude oil should being 15:1

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Why are you doing color remediation on RSO? And why did you use acetone? Just not sure what your ideal outcome is for this stuff.

Before you start chasing ratios and changing media, do you actually know what’s in your starting material? Without lab data you’re basically guessing whether anything’s improving or just changing the appearance. I think you should perform some actual analytical results than trial-and-error.

Thank you for your reply. Well acetone is the easiest one to get my hands on unfortunately.

It will be used for my custom hash blend for my personal use, just want to make it a little bit more fun I guess. But I want it to look a bit more appealing :slightly_smiling_face:

Well not quite sure of the analysis. But it will probably make me high in either way I believe heh :wink: It’s a small batch so not quite sure if it need to be that precise.

Haha,:grinning_face: fair enough. just remember that appearance rarely tells the whole story. From a lab perspective, what’s actually in the material is usually far more interesting than how it looks.

Recover the acetone and dilute the extract into a non polar solvent (pentane). Then color remediate with bentonite clay of your choosing.

I’ve done exactly this before and was able to make diamonds overnight with it.

Thank you for your reply.

Well there is a bit hard to find pentane over here though :frowning: do you have any idea of how strong pump that is required for the Buchner funnel? :face_with_peeking_eye:

Yeah for sure :blush: but kinda sure the effect will not lie either way heh :sweat_smile:

But if it were for lika a commercial product I would have taken that path.

I used a column of media and pushed it with nitrogen, so I can’t speak to how strong of a vacuum you’d need, but given pentanes explosive nature I wouldn’t use a vacuum

Heptane might make more sense for someone unequipped to deal with pentane vapors
