RE: Cannabis - Experiment #3 to Remove Dark Color From Extract.
I enjoyed the experiment... Thanks for the info. What are the more extreme processes that would remove the oxidated coloring? Is that what the clay was for? If so it's a great price of info for the pipeline guys... We use this stuff for every pipe pull to keep the hole from caving in while pulling the pipe back.
The Fullers clay would be just like the activated carbon wash or the bentonite clay wash. Not extreme at all. What I was envisioning is using another solvent that is non soluble in water. Then I would add something to the water that would expose the oxidized molecules like salt which would saturate the water. Mix the brine water and the solvent/extract vigorously. The hope is this would create an emulsion that contains the brine water and the oxidized material. As the emulsion is heavier, gravity would separate the extract/solvent. I would allow them to separate and drain the emulsion using a separatory funnel.
I have a bubble wash machine that worked great for extracting on wet keef. Sounds above my head for sure... What's the theisis of the experiment so I could educate myself a bit more? Or better yet what would I look up to learn more about this or any other experiments performed.
