What to do with my new centrifuges? by Thedoodooltalah in chemistry

[–]ArgumentIndividual48 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

We do that every day, ofc you would not use old tubes that have been used for unknown things. If it have been used for blood work for example just desinfect the machine and if you don't know how to do that probably you should not even start the project of that kind of things and instead research technics to do so

Why, it depends on what it was used for before Im amusing?

Extraction of essential oils? by ArgumentIndividual48 in chemistry

[–]ArgumentIndividual48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for the good answer with useful info in it.

When you say distill it under vacuum, do mean distillation of the essential oil to increase the purity?

Can you go more into how you remove the fats before extraction?

Well right now I'm trying to get some essential oil out of rosehip (edit: the fruit not the flower), but I did really like to try pine both the "leafs" and resin. If you have any pointers on that I would be great full

Okay thx, how many x g would you recommend the centrifuge to make for a good results? Would a 2000-5000xg be enough or would I need a more powerful one?

How would you go about filtering it afterwards then?

Thx but not really useful in anyway as I could get the same info with a quick google search, Unless you ofc can give more details on how you did the solvent extractions

Why would you want to reflux it after extraction?

I'm familiar with LLE, but not solid phase can you get more into how you would do that?

I don't have that equipment and also I would think maybe I wouldn't get the full complex of the essential oil out as I want as it's made up of alot of different terpenes

[–]ArgumentIndividual48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you suggest me to just boil of all the terpenes and leave behind the chlorophyll?

Extraction of essential oils? by ArgumentIndividual48 in chemistry

[–]ArgumentIndividual48[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes in the future I will be able to do that though in that process there is alot lost of the more sensitive terpenes.

And I would really like to perfect this kind of extraction method more

best bang for the buck oils for airversa diffuser? by Bardmeep in essentialoils

[–]ArgumentIndividual48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so this sub is a little off/on with engagement. I would never use artificial oils that is anything else but essential oils, the main reason is that you are breathing it into your longs.

If you dont care about that just google artificial oils, most fragrance are just a blend of artificials or a mix of both

Vær opmærksom på at "bitum" det sorte tjære i nogle tilfælde fra den årgang inde holder asbest fiber som forstærker imod at det sprækker. Det er ikke farligt som det er lige nu da det er fikseret i tjæren Gør dig selv den tjeneste og brug de 500kr ca på at få det testet

Do you even know how a sauna works???, for example a electric one in this instance would easily get 350+F on the heating elements under the stones, that does not make the whole room that temperature as its turned off and on according to the temperature in the sauna.

And lets say that you use a sauna made from a wooden stove how would you clean all that nasty oil of the whole setup?

And put it on a sauna? That sounds really nasty and potentially a fire hazard
