Hello Nexians, it's been a while.

I'm conducting research into ancient extraction techniques and have been given advice along the lines of looking into the potential historical use of antimony trichloride/oxychloride as a solvent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony_oxychloride

Does anyone here have experience in the use of this 'butter of antimony' or can they advise the risks and drawbacks of such a solvent?

An advantage is it is prepared with cheap and available mineral sulphur and Quicklime.

Thanks in advance for your help!

It is a fact, Clea, that having a beard and wearing a coarse cloak does not make philosophers, nor does dressing in linen and shaving the hair make votaries of Isis; but the true votary of Isis is he who, when he has legitimately received what is set forth in the ceremonies connected with these gods, uses reason in investigating and in studying the truth contained therein.

F*** no!!!!

Antimony trichloride is moisture sensitive, corrosive and toxic like arsenic!

Also, you can't make antimony chloride using sulfur and quicklime - that would make a mixture of calcium sulfides and salts of calcium with sulfur oxoanions, so I don't know what preparative technique you've been reading.

Regardless of all that. I can't see how antimony trichloride would be of much use as an extraction solvent - presumably for alkaloids - as its melting point is 73°C iirc.

Had you perchance consumed a fair bit of reefer while doing this research?




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
