Hi everyone!
I have a problem. Make a short path distil. everything goes standart. Oil goes good and beautiful. But when it chilled to room temperature it goes cloudy. I’am not understand what is it, and how I can fix it? Anybody have ideas? Thanks in advance!
warm –
room temperature –
Does it go back when ya reheat it?
I know honey crystalizes because the water is over saturated with sugar. Any chance the material you ran ever nucleated?
Have you gotten this tested? Seems like some CBD disty. Did you buy the oil from someone?
@steelrollin I’am not tested it. Some guy have a problem with that crude and he give it to me for short path. He doesn’t know how that crude was produce.
Was it winterized?
No, I winterized it
Moisture
Surface area and low humidity. I really have no clue of how to do that without a mess. Maybe a $rotovap$ if you can.
(Im just guessing at moisture after reading other threads with similar issues)
Did you use any n heptane when winterizing ? Heard that hangs onto fats. Could be one of the many factors?
The problem is wax, you need to winterize very thoroughly before distillation.Describe to me your winterizing process.
@Soxhlet I diluted with heptane, put to the heating steering machine warm up to 75C, put activated carbon and steering 10–15 min. Funnel, with 6um filter, put a silica on the top and filtering through.
Now I’am trying to put it in a freezer (diluted with ethanol) to remove waxes, may be that will works.
Don’t use heptane for winterization, it holds fats to much. I’m almost 99% on this
The ethanol winterization should take care that.
Get a small part, mix it with ethanol and put on a freezer (–70C), after filtering. And here was some waxes without smell or color –
looks like cbd
