This new experiment is with Iron sulfate (Chemical formulae FeSO4.7H2O). This Work is based on the general instruction document from the Inner Garden group. To me this is a new area that I need to explore. The first steps are the processes of the purifications of the green crystals formed after evaporation. I started this work on January 12th 2015. On this gallery you can see the development of the purification process of this substance.
- January 12th. Iron sulfate with distilled water
- After a day.
- January 14th 2015
- After decantation
- More settled.
- January 17th. Beautiful green.
- Decanted January 18th
- Evaporation has started. (50 Celsius) In sandbath.
- January 19th 2015
- Slowly a skin begins to form.
- Some crystals come up.
- The first result.
- The whitening of the crystals.
- White powder mixed with distilled water
- Next morning
- January the 23rd 2015
- Decanted.
- Second evaporation.
- January 26th 2015
- Green crystals are forming.
- Drying of the crystals
- Third round whitening of the crystals
- Mixed with distilled water
- After its settled.
- February 4th 2015
An interesting note. The emerald green liquid has a very nice smell. Fresh and sweet very subtle.
