The second step in the extraction process requires a mixture of Kerosene and Sulfuric acid.
Due to the difficulty in obtaining and shipping Sulfuric Acid (it can only be shipped via freight truck) we're working on a way around using the corrosive acid to complete the reaction.
Unfortunately, we're currently very busy with various Government contracts and probably won't have a chance to get back to devoting time to this experiment until January.
Those that are familiar with both chemistry and the extraction process might want to try a strong solution of Sodium Bisulfate (in place of the Sulfuric Acid) mixed with deodorized Kerosene.
