Title: Help with Drying Ket
Post by: londonlondon on December 07, 2012, 11:22 pm
ive found a few posts through different forums about how to do it, but for a very obvious reason i trust feedback here a lot more :)

can someone tell/show me how to dry out liquid ketamine? or point me in the right direction of a tutorial/video?
i am no chemist, but i want to do it in the safest, cleanest possible way

Put it on a plate or bowl that gives you a lot of surface area.  If you want to speed things up, place a small fan next to it to blow (horizontally) over it.  Watch it dry.  This is like watching paint dry.  Scrape it up (with a clean spoon or razor blade).  Sniff!

This will give you the best yield, as opposed to microwaving it, hair-drying it, sticking it on top of boiling water, etc.

It really doesn't take that long, maybe a day (or two at the most), depending on how many vials you have and how deep the liquid level is.  You want it to be as thin as possible, so using (multiple, if necessary) wide bowls/plates is where it's at.

Cheers!

you could put the oven on 1 or slow (lowest setting) and leave the door cracked open with a wedge so its a few inches open.
find the biggest baking tray and pour in about 1 cm at a time, keep checking EVERY 5 minutes to make sure youre not starting to crystalise or the water will dissapear and it'll all evaporate

Back in the day we used to take a clothes iron, put it on the lowest setting with the heating side up (stack books around it so it stays put), then put a small sheet of glass on top of it (like from a picture frame) onto which we poured the ket.  Iron warmed the glass which dried the ket. Worked decently well.

thanks!
