Keep this on topic please. Came here to learn about D8thca.

Ī8THCA
From
Ī8THC - Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol
- [ ] Sparge(with n2 or argon) & dry( in oven at 300) all equipment media & solvents that will be used for this process for minimum 1 hr drying time 15-20 minute sparging.(allow hot equipment to cool under vacuum.
- [ ] Dry powders in vacuum oven to remove any moisture & prepare medias. (Scrape off undesired layers & store in vac sealed vessels till ready for application.)
- [ ] Take high purity Ī8THC( 95%-99%) homogenize with 1L:500ML solvent (heptane) in a 5000ML beaker. (Scale up in reactors.)
- [ ] After mixture is adequately homogenized pour into crc stack with t5 at 55% by volume of input oil & 45% silica 60A.( this will create an acidic solution for better crashing.)
- [ ] Dry solution with sodium sulfate then filter out solids via crc stack of B80.
- [ ] Then after filtering add solution to reactor or vessel of choice for next step of procedure.
- [ ] After choosing vessel then add 22% (by volume of oil input )HCL (-45c) to solution & 15% by oil input of potassium iodide while sparge In Co2 then agitating the mixture for 5-7 hrs at 75c. The reactor can begin cooling down to room temp Immediately after agitation is stopped. All other vessels will be in atmosphere till room temp & stirred till room temp.)
- [ ] Then perform filtration of solids then brine wash & LLE to neutralize & remove HCL.( remove organic layers discard aqueous layers in seperate vessel.)
- [ ] Add organic layers to heptane after removing solvent to 15-20% left in crude 1:.5 again for saturation. Then add to reactor for -65 temps or in -65 freezers in vessels rated for high pressure.(miner)
- [ ] Let crash for 18-24hrs then if adequate formations are allotted remove the solution(mother liquor) & remove crystals for LLE & washing via brine & ph swings. (End with neutral ph.)
- [ ] Ensure crystals stay solid at room temp then mill down & purge in oven at 135 for 12 hrs or till residuals arenāt present.( if crystals donāt stay solid purify them via lle & evaporate the solution via vacuum & heat then recrystallize.)
This would likely be better with cbda input. As from abive

Eh agreed; but what do you expect, when some cat like wku comes in here lying about lambos and shit; he does it to himself.

Itās done all the time to preserve food in deserts. Look up root cellars. It doesnāt really matter the outside temp depending on how low below the ground you are.

I subbed the pentane for its BP. I dried it as well as I could via distilling and sodium sulfate. I think for this particular case dcm may be better. Iāll probably test that out next. These earlier ones were way too long of rxn times for production. Iāll probably also try a little colder with ultrasound irradiation to enhance the catalytic rate.
Unfortunately, I havenāt gotten to spend as much time as Iād like with this yet.

See thatās where it matters, most basements in my area would only be as low as a crawl space, & Iāve been in at least 3/4 of the ones here doing cable. Never came close to a basement, or a lined/clean crawl space. Sadly. Itās about 145f when itās mid summer here & being under ground only takes the heat from the sun off ya, youāll still be pouring sweat. If youāre 40-50ft below out here I can see the soil keeping the barrier cooler. But itās unlikely to find something like that here unless itās a bunker build.

You only need 10 feet to be down to 50. Look up root cellars, itās a pretty basic concept and a really good bit of information to have up your sleeve.

You can build a heat exchanger by running pipe underground and moving air through it

I was trying to find a good thermal map of the ground here but apparently they donāt do that as often here. Consensus says relative ground temp about 15-2 ft down is ā54-75fā year round. But I donāt see that I see more so towards 75+ likely as own river flowing is 52-54f year round & the lake is in the 70 in most spots. It would all come down to geographical site to make it ideal here. Iām not saying itās impossible, but given the circumstances of the area Iām in youād have to run hvac to be comfortable.
Itās geothermal cooling

Even in the desert 20ā down is 50 degree average year round

I can see that in Phoenix area & valley desert, even Kingman, those valleys are consistently 20-50 degree cooler than it is here on any given day in summer. Thatās why Iām my opinion you would need more than that if just being 10-15 ft down. 20-30ft yeah no doubt youād likely be able to suffice, but until a test & study is done specifically where Iām at I aināt buying it. Other regions yes I can see it, here not so much.
Done a fine job up to this point.
I think the pentane will work just fine. Did you crank that stir speed? Colder you go, the faster ya gotta spin.
Iām looking to build an agitator instead of a stir rod. I think spinning just keeps everything chasing itselfā¦ literally.

Stirring alone will mix to a degree but agitation will really mix it up a lot more! I had some ptsa coated on the sides of my flask that I know with stronger agitation it would have stayed in solution and not get stuck to the flask. I would occasionally grab my flask (since it was room temp) and just manually agitate it to clean the walls off and get it throughly mixed again. I need an r&d scale reactor.
