How can I dm you?
The purple color is left in the heads completely. Do people think that if that they get high numbers they don’t need SPD. That’s repulsive.
I always will feel in debt with Rogue, he is a great man so far!!

Does it also produce D8 at the same time?
If so, how much % is produced together with D9?
Is it easy to find out in the test result?
Just curious about the process, thank you so much for the so many help in the community
It’s all in how you handle the material. Heat and air will simply make very pure ∆9 oxidize to purple. To prove this, simply decarb a THCa diamond and watch what happens.

Ok so I would like some guidance and help still on this making the perfect sop
What I need to calculate now is chiller power required for a rxn
Solvents for calculations
Dcm
Touleen
Cbd issolate
Alcl I think I can take out of the equation
@Lincoln20XX @cyclopath
And other wise engineers
If I know volumes of solvents
Heattransfer area aand capacity
Temperature of rxn and temperature spike of the exotherm (very repeatable )
Then all I still have as a variable is the heat transfer fluid
Now say nacl brine water -4C for benchtop rxn
And ethyleen glycol for chiller applications
I should be able to calculate energy required to cool keep cool and fight the exotherm right ?

You’re calling me in for maths? (@Lincoln20XX i understand).
Yeah, they exist and with the right assumptions and equations you should absolutely be able to get there.
My guess is that you also have enough seat of the pants experience that you can probably get pretty close on your first approximation, and solved or nearly so on your second.

Im able to perform chiller requirement maths. Not exothermic kW output unfortunately

This solvent recovery calculator I built a while back should get you most of the way there.
https://encann.ca/calculations/SolventRecovery.html
DCM and toluene aren’t on there but when I get to my desk I can see about generating the correct parameters for you to enter to get the answers you’re looking for. I bet all middle hydrocarbons are quite similar from a thermodynamic basis so hexane or heptane would be similar to toluene from a joules per dT required level.

Really cool tool, never seen it on the site before.

You probably haven’t seen this one either then.
Neither has been updated in a while, but as far as I know all of the calculations are still correct.

Here are the values for Toluene and DCM.
Toluene
Density: 862.3
Molar weight: 92.141
dvapH: 38.0
Cp: 1.70
DCM
Density: 1326.6
Molar weight: 84.93
dvapH: 28.06
Cp: 1.188
I don’t have access to the paid tool I used to generate the calculators before, as I let the subscription lapse.
Eventually I’ll get around to building these with a different tool, but for now you’ll have to manually insert the values for any solvent that isn’t presently on there.

I have a calculator that I can use for condensation and reactor chemistry. Id just need set points, desired time frame and volumes. I am unable to post mine unfortunately.

Hi guys,
Is it possible to help out any way with this? The only thing I could probably contribute with that I can think of is to follow the SOP and see if it’s idiot-proof 
and then share the results here.
If there is anything other I can do please let me know!
Thanks
You could always try this one…reducing the temp or pulling it early might get you more D9

Hi
I made the CBD- AlCl3 reaction . I mixed the dried CBD isolate with the dried DCM 1:1 ( 100g CBD+100ml DCM). I cooled everything down to a temp of -4C . And I started to add 5% AlCl3 (5g) . I added AlCl3 very slowly keeping an eye on the temperature . After adding all the AlCl3 I stirred for 45 minutes . Then I began to add slowly a 15% sodium hydroxide solution ( 30 g sodium hydroxide + 170 ml demineralised water ) . I added very slowly keeping an eye on the temperature . After adding about 1/4 of the soda solution the colour changed to golden , but after adding the rest of the solution everything turned dark red . What went wrong ? ? ?
You mean dark purple😆
Yes. I already know, too much sodium hydroxide added. After the reaction, simply add sodium bicarbonate to neutralize it and you can start rinsing. The reaction is simple. Just keep an eye on the temperature
