Ok so I've been doing my research for a proper morphine extraction tek with poppy seeds. and i thought id see if anyone would ike to add some words of wisdom here. mostly what I've gathered goes something like this: 1. wash seeds with warm water and citric acid for 20 minutes 2. add limewater ( calcium hydroxide) to convert morphine to calcium morphenate, rendering it water soluble, then filtered. 3. ammonium chloride is introduced and then filtered once again producing morphine base.
So my concern here is that after filtering the base how does one clean the base so that there is no trace amounts of calcium hydroxide or ammonium chloride? is it even possible to end up with a substance totally void of impurities? any input or further information regarding the process is very much appreciated thanks
