Removing APAP from opiates - A more effective method than CWE?

[theWorldWithin]

Is there a chemical process that will seperate all of the APAP out of compounded preperations containing opiates and NSAIDs? The main limitation of CWE is product loss, and more alarming an uncertainty of how much APAP remains in the final product.

you're not gonna do better with a different method, either

^ Nah. Acid-base extraction does a much better job.

However, it's not nearly as quick and easy as CWE.

 

[Ham-milton]

I mean with regards to losing less.

That is acceptable though, my main concern is establishing harm reduction techniques, not neccesarily more efficient ways to get high. The main concern is to be sure all the APAP is removed, what kind of results can be expected from an AB extraction?

 

[Mr. White]

A/B extractions all depend on how soluble things are in acids and bases and possibly salts formed, whether you end up with opiate/NSAID freebase formed, and then the possibility of emulsions.

To do it properly you'd need to know how soluble the opiate is in acid/base, how soluble the APAP/aspirin is in acid/base, how soluble any salts that might be formed are in acid/base, whether you'll form the freebases, whether the freebases will be seperatable.

Waaay to much hassle for me, learning to do a CWE well is going to be much easier and better
