The first D10 theory was based on the fact that outdoor material from Nor Cal seemed to produce high D10 levels. The theoretical explanation was that Phoschek from fire zones was to blame.
When digging through the SDS for Phoscheck you’ll find that Phosphoric acid esters are a surfactant used. I would suggest looking in this direction for a catalyst. Refluxing with our high pH carbon(HPC), will give you a media with a relative pH of 9…should you need an alkaline environment.
I have a buddy in the surfactant industry so anything that becomes useful to us in bulk can be acquired.
