gentlemen,
I suffered terrible losses while distilling P2P.
500mlp2p gives 200ml of pure p2p.
Such gains break my heart!
I built a still, a pressure cooker that boils at high temperatures to produce steam.
Place the distillation bottle in the electric heating mantle and turn on the heating mantle to a temperature of approximately 130°C
When the steam enters the condenser tube and begins to cool, turn the pressure cooker down to regulate the size of the steam. If you keep it high, the intense steam will quickly fill the receiving bottle.
The first two bottles of distillate received during the distillation process contain most of the p2p.
The subsequent distillate contains very little. After adding the sodium chloride solution, approximately 2 liters of distillate yielded 20 ml of p2p.
As the water in the distillation flask evaporates and the heating continues, a thick caramel mass will be obtained.
The second time I tried adding water to continue the distillation, but only the distilled water was condensing.
I have a few questions now:
1: When the steam begins to condense, should the pressure cooker continue to be on high heat or turn down the heat?
2: Should the electric heating jacket of the distillation bottle be turned on? Or does it just need steam from the pressure cooker to complete the heating?
3: When the water in the distillation bottle becomes less, should I add distilled water to continue distillation? Or add potassium carbonate solution?
Is there anything else I'm doing wrong?
Sir, please help me!
Thank you very much! !
