I am new to this forum, first post ever made, only because i've been field testing for years
. This is not at all a forum on how to synthesis methamphetamine, but I figure if your going to use it, use it safely, through purification. I've read many forum topics on this matter, saying it can take up to 24 hours to complete etc. This is not true. My friend, who has a Chemistry degree, I did not finish high school
, and I looked at these 24 hour methods at cleaning junk through a 2 solvent purification and even I balked. Much simpler way to perform the 2 step recrystalization method of chemistry in under one hour. I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here we go, (all written by myself, anonomous™ © ®):
Stuff You will need:
Junk
Klean Strip Brand Denatured Alcohol, Freezer cold (Home Depot. best purity)
Klean Strip Brand Acetone (best purity)
2-3 small glass jars or cups equal size
12" frying pan (Just to heat water in)
Brown (not white) coffee filters
Some sort of measuring device that can measure 1ml at a time, like a syringe. ()
Rubber band
Latex or rubber gloves. (This stuff isn't a new suntan lotion, although it will burn your skin)
And most importantly the understanding of purification by recrystalization.
Purification by recrystalization is an industry standard for making the purest of chemicals, down to things as simple as sugar. Sugar is naturally brown and chunky and full of bullshit, not white and perfect looking. The basics behind purification by recrystalization is that you must find one solvent which your chemical is 100% soluble in (and the impurities are not) i.e. denatured alcohol, then find another solvent which your chemical is 100% insoluble in, i.e. acetone. Point being the inpure chemicals will not disolve in the alcohol and your junk will, then in the acetone your junk will not desolve but impuritys will.
-Get 10-12" pan, fill with tap water about 1", begin to heat on medium-low. You want the water at about 70° Celsius.
Next grind up your junk into a powder, put it in one jar. Will go over ratios later.
Next put about a 1/4-1/2 cup Denatured alcohol, depending on how much junk you intend to clean, into another jar. Place both of these jars upright in your water. Bring the jar with the Denatured alcohol up to about 70 degrees. (doesnt need to be exact, just not boiling)
Now for ratios. With most junk 1gram/1ml solvent mixture disolves junk completely, but we take into consideration some alcohol will evaporate rather quickly especially depending on what temperature your at. Say if you use 1 gram junk, try first eye droppering in 1 ml of hot alcohol. Usually it takes 2 parts alcohol to on part junk to be suffecient because it quickly evaporates. But less solvent is better. Swirl it in the jar out of the water until it is completely disolved. If not completely disolved place the jar back into heated water and it should disolve. If not, add another 1/2 ml of alcohol.
Ok now you want to simmer your acohol based concentrated solution on low temperature until you see a skin or crystals start to form in the solution. This can happen very quickly. At this point eyedropper in another 1/2-1 ml of alcohol or until it completely disolves again. Keep it in your warm water and watch for the alcohol to start to evaporate. Again this can be a very quick process.
Have your acetone ready at this point. This time when the crystals begin to form, begin eyedropping in acetone 1ml at a time, making sure it completely covers the crystals and swirl it around a little to seperate the formed crystals from the liquid. Keep the solution in the heated water and begin evaporating off the liquid. Once liquid level gets low so crystals are forming again, add 1ml more acetone, swirl, repeat up to three times.
**IMPORTANT, acetone has a lower boiling point then alcohol. So adding acetone to an already hot mixture of alcohol can cause boiling and make the liquid evaporate to quickly. Use ice cold acetone, yes stick that jug of acetone into your freezer for a couple hours prior to this. The point of this procedure is to evaporate off the alcohol, while slowly bringing back the crystals in the acetone. Also Acetone absorbes water out of the air very rapidly, which can severly effect the amount of finished product you make. So always best to keep acetone in freezer.
Ok, on your last acetone evaporation, have a bowl of ice water handy. Do not let the acetone mixed with your junk evaporate completely, leave just enough to the crystals can move freely. Remove the jar from heated water and place it into your bowl of ice water to stop further evaporation and add another 5-6ml of ice cold acetone right in to the jar. Snugly place a brown coffee filter over the top of the jar with your mixture and secure it with a rubber band. Swiftly make your contents go in a motioning circle at the base of the glass i.e spinng so it will not stick to bottom in the next step, then quickly turn it over into a sink with running water (careful not to get the jar near the running water, its just to wash the acetone down the drain). As soon as it stops dripping ( about 1 minute after flipping ) place the jar top down onto a few stacked paper towles, then pull the rubber band up the glass, careful not to rip the coffee filter, then seperate the filter from the jar carefully while still facing downward on the paper towels. Allow to throughly dry, scrape any product left behind in the jar onto the filter. You will know it is dry when the physically appears like granules and does not smell like acetone. You can spread it out on the filter some to promote quicker drying. Expect a small loss in product during this process, but thats the garbage you don't want anyways. If any smell of alcohol exists at all, let crysals dry completely and do another cold acetone wash, repeating this previous step by adding 5-6ml of cold acetone, put a new filter on top with a ruberband, swirl, drain into sink, and completely dry. Acetone only takes 15-20 mins to dry out of your product. Whole time period, under one hour. Safest junk you'll have the pleasure of doing. Enjoy, be safe.
