good day to you all again![]()
i did some interesting experiments on DSS and i wanted to share some of my results,..
i was playing with some NaOH and found something interesting,
what i did was the folowing,
i took some DSS and added some water to it + some HCL
i let this digest on room temp for 3 days,
after that i took the ph to 13 slowly, and back down to 1 again, and once again to ph 13, now after the swing i digested it for a nother 2 days, all Mg and Ca were out of solution, but it seemed the Manna was still in solution, the solution was filtert, and Mg and Ca were removed,
the solution was slowly ajusted to a neutral ph, and left to sit for 1 day,
now the ph is brought to 8.5, and a precipitate was formed, this is moslty manna, now here i did a boil for 2 hours, and this seems to be the key to allow the following to happen, when the solution was still hot, i added fresh hcl, the solution formed a layer, of green color, after mixing very well the solution become yellow to green in color, but the manna did not dissolve again, "not in the usual way anyway"
now i set this solution in the distillation apperatus and distilled it, at about 80c there came over a yellow liquid, "very small amount", and the solution in the heating flask became clear again,
i added some more hcl to it and the same thing happent again,
now this yellow greenish liquid was distilled to make it as pure as posible, it distilled clean, i added abit of hcl to this yellow liquid and it turned a bright green color...
it seems that this liquid is very unstable as it droped out some manna after a day, and turned back to yellow and even clear solution, some strange things to note are that the smell of hcl was gone in the flask even though i added a quite concentrated hcl to it,
not sure way this is so unstable, i will make some more and see if i can make it more stable by adding some sodium chloride to it, someone els maybe a idea..?
i wanted to charge the solution by some circulation in a very wel closed and luted flask on a hotplate in a water bath but this droped it out even faster, so it might have something to do with B fields, as the bfield in a hotplate is quite in unballance.
some conclusions of this experiment are:
-the manna is solutble in a solution that is highly alkaline with NaOH.
-boiling the manna seems to fix it,
-adding hcl to the fixed manna will allow a eagle flight.
-the resulting solution is very unstable..
-if my understanding is correct of alchemy this would be a crude alkahest of salt.
things to try.
-using true spitit of salt instead of using labgrade hcl might give it more life "charge" and allow for more stability
-see if this works with NaCO3 or better potash as wel,
if someone hes some ideas on what to try to hold it stable then that would be great !!
kind regards...
