There’s a lot of informative info within this thread as well. Not each setup will be the same. Some reactors have different lid applications & joints. If you’d like help on your setup I’d start with a photo of what you may be working with & many folks here can help you from there.
I see that your SOP mentions spd glassware. I have that well covered. We have a huge reactor so I am trying to see if my current small spd glassware will work for R&D. Have you every had worries with the simple glassware? I see some people saying that “explosion proof” reactors are needed. I am just trying to develop a proof of concept.
Technically here, it is event not at 1.5% concentration, since it does not dissolve in the hydrocarbon…
But if you have a few water in there, then you have some strong acid concentrated in certains spots. For sure steel will not like this. Unless it is a very short contact, and followed by extensive cleaning.
I think you may be getting neutral substances confused with buffers. A buffer will hold the pH at a specific level while the neutral salt (NaCl) shouldn’t have an effect on pH to my knowledge.
The reason being that HCl and NaOH are such strong acid/base that they will almost never take up either OH- or H+ from solution, making the buffering capacity of salt (NaCl) zero.
It won’t change it. It that situation “neutral” means that the salt has no acid/base properties. It does not mean that it promotes a neutral pH. The water serving as solvent is the agent in this case. Actually here it is not its acid/base properties which are employed, but rather that it dissolves ptsa, and thus allo to recover it from te heptane/product mixture (and further turns acid as long as ptsa comes in).
The salt can however have a small indirect effect on the pH, since the pKa if the other acid present can be influenced by the ionic strenght (the total solute concentration in solutoon including background salts).
Thanks to @iLLnyeTheShatterGuy for this sop. This being my first real attempt at Delta 8. I ran this rxn as close as I could to the sop. It worked fantastically. In-house analytics Coa came out at 88%d8 10%d9 2% cbn. Yield was 87% from starting isolate weight.
Thanks again.
