Pharmacology Need advice to fix irresponsible extraction of fentanyl patches causing health hazard…pt2

[doflamingo8]

Trying one last time to get some productive advice regarding this issue. There is a major health hazard currently taking place in states west of the Mississippi River. There is fentanyl going around that tastes like permanent marker and leaves your tongue as if you ate something spicy. This is what happened: There was a recall of thousands of alvogen fentanyl patches that were supposed to be destroyed. Instead of being destroyed, someone decided to try and extract the fentanyl and make it into powder. This person however used the wrong solvent during extraction and pulled out the acrylate copolymer adhesive as well as the fentanyl. Although it is simple to do fentanyl patch extractions, once the acrylate copolymer adhesive is extracted along with the fentanyl, it is extremely difficult to separate it. People are smoking this fentanyl/polymer adhesive mixture and are getting extremely sick. So far I have been able to remove all but one of the acrylate polymers. However I need help from someone with a higher chemistry background than me to help me remove the last polymer that is stuck to the active ingredient. This is what I did:

Dissolve mixture of acrylate polymer adhesive and active ingredient into chloroform/methanol 9:1. Vortex. in separate test tube add the dissolved mixture above with 10% sodium hydroxide in 3:1 ratio. Remove everything but the chloroform layer. Put chloroform layer through .22 micron wheel filter.

However my final result still has at least one adhesive/polymer/glue still in it. I just want to reduce the harm my community is currently experiencing due to everybody ingesting acrylate copolymers. Can anybody please help me find a way to isolate the active ingredient from the final copolymer? Any help will be much appreciated.
