In this video I separate and refine the extracts.

Your joke made me laugh out loud, haha. And I like your videos! Keep posting em :-)

[@owenlim225]

I don't know what's happening here, even the chemistry part. But for my research proposal, I start liking this.

[@billdawson3212]

There is no discussion of what is in the extract. No mention of what we're separating. That would be nice.

[@batfly]

What's got the inverse solubility? Calcium Hydroxide perhaps?

[@danieljohnson3024]

Nice! Other videos on extractions from ash stop with the brown crystals. Is the potassium acting as a catalyst in breaking down the organics?

[@perrygershin3946]

I think the heat itself is what breaks them down.

[@Mr.greenthumb]

If you let the crystal sit for a couple hours they release from the glass easy

[@laslobas1234]

I was hoping something practical would come out of this

[@TheRojo387]

I suspect there is potassium nitrate in that solution.

[@laslobas1234]

I thought you were making lye.

[@feroxvulpis9297]

is this k2co3

[@perrygershin3946]

Yes, I believe that is correct. It's possible there is also a small amount of KOH present.

[@Polarcupcheck]

@@perrygershin3946 It makes me wonder if potassium carbonate solution be safely used as a drain opener? Or will it create insoluble sediment that builds over times.

[@grahammewburn]

This is costing lots of time and energy

[@perrygershin3946]

Many times hobbies will do that you know.

[@grahammewburn]

@@perrygershin3946 I'm very interested Perry Thank you Gray

[@esquizofreniasobrenatural]

he just made the ultimate ash

[@anthonygardens9540]

....Now I understand what do you do with the "strong tea".

[@robertsherrick4081]

does your Mom know what you are doing to her cookware?

[@KimCan06]

Why are you roasting it?

[@undernetjack]

"She's left handed!" Lol

[@samuelreed2994]

You turned it back into wood. Lol
