How long did it take that such crystals apeared in thermos? And what was the water:mmc ratio?
Also what was your powder vs crystalised mmc yield - how much you lost in the crystalisation process?
what proportion of water/4-mmc? What is the temperature of the solution and at what temperature should the solution be left? how long does crystallization take?
No. my experience of using alcohols (IPA, ethanol, methanol) as crystalising solution showed that you get small? sand-like crystals. Although rather pure, but they never had grown big in size.
Hi.
This was done by dissolving in mixture of water&acetone. The solution must be clear, not cloudy or misty. An then it was left in dark kitchen locker for about a week or so.
Hope this could be useful for you or anyone.
