[omid_safari]

hi guys,
swim is from asia,excuse for bad english.

swim cooked last evening for 1st time [5g psedu/5.5g I/2.9g Rp/2ml dH2o].
[7:00 pm]:reaction don't start without heat source. swim test a 1000w lamp for energy generator, very thin fog (alike vapor)generated and disappeared 2-3 sec later.
[9:00 pm]2 hour later useing electrical heater reaction started with 50C , raise temp to 150c slowly at 12:00 am.
[12:30 am] wait for cool the vessel
[12:30 am] pour dH2o to vessel and stir it.
[ 1:00 am] filter the fluid and go to bed!
this morning:
[9:00 am] continue next levels!

add np-solvent (zippo lighter fluid)

add NaOH 20% and raise ph from 2 to +12

stir fluid for 15 min and wait 15 min too.
separate layers and save np-solvent layer.
make a hcl gas generator with acid sulfuric and table salt and connect to np-solvent layer.(sulfuric acid was 99% and very vary dangerouse, i was never seen that! melt bottom of plastic vessel and ...)

filter np-solvent layer.
pour methanol in crystals and boil them.
cool them slowly.

[12:00 pm]result is 1.5g pure meth.

questions about rp/i method:

1- how can i understand process is complete?
2- if i can't understand end of process and continue heat 1-2 hours more, what happened?
3- final crystals are few yellowish,but in past levels(NaOH & HCL) don't see any yellowish material,is that iodine?
4- in end of first level(boil rp/i/pe) if found out un-reacted iodine, how can i clear that without other chemicals?
