I run my tane at -105f and all i noticed is that it took a bit longer. But my tane to oil ratio is quite high

I was thinking about your comment about a week ago and itās got me wondering. What solvent to material ratio are you using when your running with a 140f degree material column?
Also are you using butane to do this or some other solvent?
1/1 media to oil ratio? I wonder how well this could work. It would definitely need to be re-extracted with a solvent so maybe it could work like dry loading in chromatography the difference being that weāre dry loading onto an active media as opposed to the standard celite or florisil .@Shadownaught

Iām going to try this tek in the next day or so on a smaller 10p machine move to four 6x48 tubes than to atlas material columns. I got activated alumna, achromizing clay, silicate pulver all from summit, carbon chemās mag sil or and silica 60a. I use 90#solvent to 30-33ps material. Isobutane only. Isobutane is king imo
Iāll report back with the results
Iām going to be using older crude biomass

Why is isotane king?
@Shadownaught Iāve been very curious about using synthetic resins as another powder to try in the filter column, have you guys at carbon chemistry looked into synthetic resin adsorbents?
Or are they cost prohibitive to anything but research or analytical applications?

Same molecule but different shape! Can still use almost the exact same solvent ratio as pure n-tane but a noticeably faster recovery (because of its lower boiling point).

Yeah Iāve got something Iām working on there.

Good to hear, is what your working on more geared toward introducing a more comprehensive line of pesticide remediation medias?
No that would be mostly color again. MagsilPR is pretty damn good at what it does.

magsil PR lenticular cartridges? Ertelsop/3m/heyes/Harrington
Terpene adsorption could be another direction u could go with this, from what Iāve read about these resins theyāve got good desorption characteristics so maybe theyāll have potential to help separate terpenes from the extract without destroying them with heat.

Use all of those.
From top to bottom
silcate stuff 1cup
Alumina 2cup
Silica 60 2cup
Achromizing clay 2.5cup
Magsil PR 1cup
Silikate stuff 1-2cup.
At the bottom of each column.
Thatās pretty much twice what I run except for the magsil. Which I want to try too, just because. And more clay because your material is old ,so I am making due for the extra chlorophyll itās going to put out.

Just straight remove everything but the thca and just put out mass quantities of diamonds, or ditsy. If it could remove terpenes . We could precipitate it in pentane and that would be extremely easy.

I wonder if purolite is open to giving out samples 
Iāll give it a whirl for crude prep if they are.

Thatād be tight
Im also concerned that since itās a polyacrylic resin it may not like hydrocarbons, but I didnāt know for sure so I also asked them about the PAD950ās chemical compatability as well as whether or not theyāve got a product that fits the bill for our application.

Iām sure they wonāt take notice to the hour it was sent and specific application. Haha. But, letās hope t will react well in hydrocarbons

Lol your definitely right about that Iām not expecting a response until at least tomorrow morning but i excited at the idea.
