In all the fun, fury and fluff over those wonderful green issues
I almost forget to answer your literally "bloody" query.
I do assume that you do mean a recipe for the following:

BTW, how was haematin isolated from blood?

[hanson]
It happened when I was a high school kid and worked after-hours
in a research lab. IIRC, I had to get 1 gallon "beaten bull's blood"
from the butcher and that was poured into a glass container
containing 10 or 30 gallons of boiling glacial acetic acid.
After stirring for 12-24 hrs, the now brown liquid was filtered
(forgot whether glass frit or paper) and it left after washing
(forgot with what) about 1 oz of shiny black crystals that looked
like KMnO4: Heamatin, Haemin?. --- My mean ****ing bossman
told me at the outset that I must stay away from the fumes of the
glacial HAc, because it was bad for the skin.... Of course he was
old and therefore wussy, stupid and didn't know what he was
talking about.... hahahaha.... So, I didn't care when my hands
got into the swaths of HAc fumes while filtering the brew.
Actually, after washing the vinegar smell off my hands, my paws
looked lovely, felt and had the touch of a baby ass. Wonderful!
So, next morning I washed and dried my hands.... and the skin
of my index finger came off like a latex coating... exposing the
red dermis... and then the same happen to all 10 fingers... and
half of the palms... Until that day I had no idea what "raw nerves"
meant..... It was so bad I couln't even tolerate cotton bandages.
But the worst thing was the faint, contemtous smile I got from my
bossman, that heartless old ****!... But he was a good educator.
He tought me well. I do admitt to that... ahahaha....
However and regardless: ........ Enjoy chemistry... but **** enviros!
ahahaha... ahahanson

PS: Much, much too late I leaned that plastic surgeons use a
(ten) 10% solution of HAc for professional chemical skin peels
on wilting broads. .... 10%..because they both are wusses.
I used the 100% stuff... ahahaha..

Muha, that's pretty much all I remember! I might have that
lab record book in some dusty steamer trunk stuffed away
God only knows where. Sorry.
But dig into any of these current records in he
320 hits for == Haematin + Glacial Acetic acid == or
223 hits for == Preparation Haematin + Glacial Acetic acid. == i.e.

Take care, dude,
