So I made a thing to decarb with

[cyclopath]

@DaKine

The reaction would probably go the other way at 1000 atmospheres.

that has been argued against.

Decarb under pressure to retain terps?

I take your meaning, but decarboxylation is a pseudo first order reaction, so pressure doesn’t really affect it. You can decarb under pressure or vacuum if you want, but the temperature and rate remain the same, regardless… unless you add a catalyst like MgO.

but at 1k atm I’m willing to consider it…

how about you @Photon_noir ?

can someone check my math on how important headspace & PRV’s are?!?

Question on How To Properly Decarb Crude

[edit: note that MW for THCA is wrong here. Used what the all-gnowing handed me without thinking…] maths?!? I’ve tried to get someone else to do this in public multiple times. guess I’ll give it a go… lets call 1 mole of THCA 315g, and use the approximation of 1g/ml to get the volume of our concentrate when we started. Call it 315ml. if we start in a 1liter container, and don’t deal with the fact that the density of our extract will change as we heat it, we can pretend we have a headspace…
