Hi everyoneI want to scale up p2p to 1000g and if that goes well p2p to 5000g for the leuckart synthesis . I have the ratios for small Batch . Could you help me with scaling up to p2p 1000g. And another one p2p 5000g how of each chemicals I would need. Thank you

you will need a big-enough reactor with all it''s accessories first.

Big enough reactor, big enough steam distillation set, i would scale up to 5kg directly. Leuckart can be done in stainless steel. When you do your second step with caustic soda.
buy a small 100L tank, led a welder make a condensor for you.

You can buy those dirt cheap now
It is called a tube in shell condenser, and that shit goes fast, as it is a bunch of condensing tubes cooled down with ice water, or, in my case, IPA and dry ice to get it below -50c. (Gets down to -78c but my thermometer doesn't go that low)
You can get one for 2k from "hardware factory store " that you don't even need a chiller or homemade chiller for, it has a big scoop for ice or dry ice.

Shit they are 1100 for a 4" diameter and 2200 for a 6" diameter, but you can scoop dry ice into the area, pour in IPA and it all gets super cold...amazing for recovery of any low boiling hydrocarbon vapor
