Separating n from the liquid

[bag.of.cats]

Is it possible to separate the N from the liquid it's mixed with (i.e. the veterinary bottles)? I am wondering if there's an easy way like through evaporation or something like that. Any chemists here have any ideas?

It would require knowing the temperature at which pentobarbital starts degrading. I've tried to find this info online but haven't been able to.

Probably, a big part of the liquid will be just normal water. So maybe boling it would give you a powder, or something like that, but I'm not sure.

I just realized that the PPH has a video showing how to convert liquid pentobarbital into a solid form.

how would you use the solid form?

It's for people who want to store N for long periods, since the solid form has a longer shelf-life.

You can create the powder out of the liquid. Then you could dissolve the powdered N into a smaller volume of water. I forgot how but you can do it and supposedly its not too hard.

EDIT: i remember now, you have to vaccum off the solvents.

I wouldn't mess with converting liquid veterinary N into free acid crystals. It's more than N in that liquid, which will alter the reaction when trying to convert.
For long term storage, the powdered N (pentobarbital sodium salt) can be converted into free acid (pentobarbital), the latter not being soluble in water thus not affected by moisture/temp. Please note that ~20% of the amount will be lost in reconversion back to the sodium salt.
