If I could at least strip the color from the fats, on standard runs, I’d be satisfied, somewhat. I would definitely be interested in the findings. I am going to reorder my equipment and put in a second jacket and mess with it soon.

Be cautious using cotton for filtration as they tend to use a lot of pesticides you wouldn’t want to add to your extract.

You should make one of these in line filters that suits the needs best… There’s a good chance I’ll need one to fit one of your systems… Wink wink

Hehe thank you which is why I mentioned steel wool also. I’m a vapor and have never really used tanks just rdas so I do a lot of experience with cotton and gotten my fair share of pesticide laced cotton. Any who it shouldn’t be hard to get The right supplies to do this properly. Using steel mixed with cotton could be really helpful for catching some powder and small particles. The steel wool will increase surface area and catch more fats, lipids, waxes, etc. it will also should allow for the undesirable waxes to be spread farther apart rather than building up in the filter, this should prevent clogging and allow for the solution to flow more easily
I’m stoned and forgot to mention mag sill will remove pesticides and mag sil seems to help with removing color from the final product so

That’s what @soxhlet was playing with the magsol for, seeing if it would be a good replacement.

Regular old 100% cotton balls have never given me any problems… no residue, no dissolving, and certainly no pesticides. I wrote about this on another thread at some length to explain why, but suffice it to say that any pesticides used on cotton crops do not follow into the processed cotton whatsoever… at least none of the generic or name brand cotton balls I have ever used.

I have a question…when u scrub your oil, say with carbon or bleaching clay, and notice it got lighter, would rescrubbing it make it clear or would it have little to no effect?

I’m gonna be playing with material eng projects at the hemp spot soon. Hemp cellulose and hemp seed oil products are up first.

We’re working with a company you would recognize to make depth filter sheets with Carbon Chemistry products. I’m hoping to test the following within the next 60 days; T5, T41, and MagsilPR lenticular disk cells.
I have a funny post idea for IG if testing goes well…keep an eye out.

Isn’t t5 or t41 bleaching clay Or bentonite?

T5 is neutral pH bleaching clay that is marketed as an activated filter aid…also specifically designed to catch heavy metals.
T41 is acidic bleaching clay with 10% Norit carbon added. This clay can improve clarity, color, odor, and is an acidic phase to use before magsilPR(alkaline phase) for pesticide remediation.
Both clays have a majority particle size of 60micron and are designed to avoid clogging, in comparison to natural bentonite.

Not if you dont change/ clean your powders
The reason I ask is because I’ve scrubbed, removed adsorbent, added fresh adsorbent, and didnt notice any changes

Aw yee. What bout flooding the mobile phase from the bottom of the column? It might be harder for the polar stuff to fight gravity. Also what about those fraction finder things?

Do you know the exact ph level of your powders after adding other adsorbents?

I know their relative pH before adding other products…I would be some sort of wizard if I could calculate a powder blend relative pH without any additional information. @Waxplug1
