Drying Isopropyl Alcohol with Salt - Salting Out

[@fredericomba]

Thanks for the demonstration. "Salting out" is a useful technique for separating liquids that are miscible with water that is not mentioned often, yet it's quite more easy and energy efficient than distillation (which requires getting the temperature right and providing a lot of heat).

Thumbs up for vid's comments! ...much better idea of what is going on with salting

[@williamcozart9166]

Why the hell did you add tap water to it first, was the point not to dry up low % iso alco, like to turn 50% iso into 90%?

[@whelpdog1]

Scratching my head also. No answer, shucks I was curious.

[@RadomKidsareme000]

He was avoiding oversaturating the water with salt since the alcohol will drop some salt out of solution so he used an excess of water

[@victoryfirst2878]

How critical are the ratios you used for the demonstration Sir ??? Thanks too.

[@KrazeyKraka]

Or you could just buy ISO-HEET which is 99% Isopropanol alcohol and simply needs a few tables spoons of salt to be shaken about and then voila, anhydrous IPA after decanted off the floor of whatever container you're using.

[@Bigshoots86]

Does it have any other additives?

[@louislevilain8137]

So, you can drink this? But only once?

[@calchen6603]

I like the music in the video, but why did you dilute the solution even further? if 120mL of IPA go in, what's the volume of the top layer?

[@shanescatsandcannabisfarm2965]

The original alcohol was 120ml @ 70%/30%. Then he added in another 100ml of water. So a total of 220ml of liquid. So the alcohol content went from being 70% to only 38.2% alcohol. That being said the amount of alcohol at the top should be 84ml.

[@shanescatsandcannabisfarm2965]

He could have just added 1.5 table spoons of salt to the 120ml @70% I.S.A. and separated the 84ml of pure I.SA. without adding the extra water like he did. Idk why he did that.

[@nicholecrouch311]

@@shanescatsandcannabisfarm2965 I was wondering why he added the water myself but what I was also wondering was did he use iodized just normal regular table salt because I was told that it would be a lot better to use non iodized salt does that really matter

Have you ever burn the extract alcohol? A little salt and water remain after burn

[@donberry6079]

Yes and it will ruin an alcohol stove. Never again.

[@j.c187]

NEED TO USE DRY SALT. If it sticks together before putting in isopropyl alcohol it's not dry or it is contaminated. Dont understand the diluting it with water part when your trying to remove all the water. ANHYDROUS alcohol is cheap enough to buy to

[@victoryfirst2878]

100 percent isopropyl alcohol is not cheap today at all. A observation.

[@cannagorilla]

so it should be 100℅ IPA? and can you get anhydrous ethanol from this method?

[@Cornz38]

no and no.

[@cross27]

like 99% and isopropyl isnt ethanol

[@marktully8582]

How long does it take? I have tried a few times with no luck

[@hardnachopuppy]

30 mins for it to separate

[@RadomKidsareme000]

it will separate more quickly when the aqueous portion is more saturated with salt.

[@christopherblackhall2832]

Interesting, I wonder if this would work with cooking wine to extract the ethanol

[@KandisSJGroup]

I'm afraid that your free wine would be super salty. Maybe hold back on salting the dish??

[@CrabShoe]

This explains why adding salt helps clean a bong or sweeten a wooden pipe. By separating the water from the alcohol you increase its ability to absorb other compounds. In the case of sweetening a pipe the action of the water separating and going to the bottom actually helps displace compounds in the wood.

[@zackperron6090]

No, that is not why, you could use sand instead of salt, the salt is just to scrub not do anything chemically

[@CrabShoe]

@@zackperron6090 the chemical action definitely helps. Kosher salt also works better than rock salt because it's more pure and will clean it faster

[@CrabShoe]

@@zackperron6090 sounds like the reply of somebody that doesn't know what they're talking about that is just disagreeing to disagree.

[@zackperron6090]

@@CrabShoe I personally use silica sand (white sand used for sandblasting) instead of salt because I have access to large amounts for free and it works the exact same. You sound like you are self projecting, accusing random people of not knowing what they are saying when infact you have not done any research on it.

@@CrabShoe on my end this was not ment to be argumentative, I was discussing a chemical reaction and debating if it takes place. How else could you learn besides talking to people?

You would need a molecular sensor for that. For commercially available options, you can buy wristbands, cups and/or straws with integrated sensors that change color when a solution contains any of the most commonly used spiking substances.

@duff can - You're thinking of Methanol, which can cause widespread neurological damage. Drinking Isopropanol commonly causes effects similar to Ethanol but usually causes vomiting and can also cause more severe effects like diarrhea, pain, and even bleeding in the stomach and intestines as a consequence.
