I can see pi stacking of terpenes in a crystal lattice creating enough electron density to function like a chromophore. This would not require any chemistry and would reverse when melted.

Alot of it depends on what youâre separating, Matt was talking about using MD for water purification and you donât evaporate the water first during that process atleast not with the new membranes we have
MD is only really used for 2 reasons during water purification and I actually have experience with one of them
The first is if youâre in a place like the dessert where you need all the water you can get. ROs are only 42% efficient and waste a ton of water in the waste stream, if youâre in a place like the dessert where every drop counts then MD will allow you to purify the waste water the ro creates raising the efficiency of your water purification to above 95%
The second is if youâre like these guys out in Tracy here, where youâre taking ground water thatâs garbage and using it and then having to pay to have it disposed of. Ca has a law that the water you take from the ground must be cleaner when you put it back then when you took it out. The guys in Tracy are using the water to do something in the dairy industry, but since the water is already so hard coming out of the ground they canât just put it back they have to pay to have it trucked off. This costs them a ton of money because they use a ton of water. This company has tried and RO and ion exchange system to try and deal with the heavy mineral content, the problem is thereâs too much and the system fouls too quickly. MD will allow you to clean up 95% of the water very easily reducing the amount of water they have to have trucked off to only the 5% they canât clean. Even this system though doesnât use vacuum, and tbh none of the systems that my engineer from Germany has built has either.
The thing is water is expensive and hard to evaporate, unless you really need to clean the water (like the guys in Tracy) or you need every drop you can get (like in the desert) itâs more efficient to run an ro and deal with the loss of waste water

I thought it was a solvation process or something?

With so many color swings Iâm sure itâs a ph thing as well.

I have some of that right now and itâs a thick oil which makes me hesitant about using it in a ReX

It donât hit better to just throw in the rock and carb cap it instantly? I seem to get better hits the faster I can get that cap on
I wouldnât use just that
Iâm going to try and isomerize it then crystallize with some of it in pentane
You only need a tiny little bit to co crystallize to get that color
I also think thereâs a trick to get the terpene to crystallize in there and i think it has to do with the fast crash
Did you fix that video? It wouldnât play earlier
Ty if so

No doubt I just left the carb cap off and let it melt for a sec for the sake of the video haha

Iâve already crystallized Terps into thca and I didnât fast crash it. It stayed colorless though

Can you take some of that guaiol and put a little in a vial or something and add some citric acid or another acid to it?
You need to turn the guaiol into guaiazuelene then itâll crystallize blue
Yeah I can try that
If you can do it in a beaker and use a little heat please
Ok I donât have a lot so itâs in a vile
