What would be a good filter aid to use for filtering the acidic solution of extraction? (to pull particulates out of the solution, while providing a quick-flowing filtration)
Thanks all

Try letting the solution sit in the refrigerator overnight. This causes all the particles to settle to the bottom into a sludge, making the water filtration through filter paper soooooo much easier if you do it carefully without disturbing the sludge.

I want tO do this quickly and efficiently. Decanting won't remove all the particulates I need removed.

This is a nice mess-free way to do it! I experimented a few times by decanting the solution after an hour first and leaving it to settle for another 8 hours. Always there was more sediment, almost as much as after the first decanting, only finer. If I am in a hurry I use vacuum filtering. What works for me, is progressive filtering. First I use a cotton ball, then a coffee filter and then a couple of lab filter discs of varying density. With some experience it takes ~30 min to filter 0.5l of acidic solution to complete clarity. mataylor wrote:Laboratory vacuum pumps are crazy expensive A basic water aspirator is sufficient and it costs a few dozen dollars only.

T-shirt- no. Decanting-no. Cotton balls- no. Filter discs of any grade-no.
Would Celite be a good choice for the acidic solution?

It seems, a member had some problem with it, theory being that it absorbs some DMT. Got GVG ? Mhm. Got DMT ?
