So you did a 10% - 15% HCl and water and have a light reflux <100C for 2-3 hours ??
Did you do an extraction ?
Did you wash the NonPolar solvent + P2P oil with a sodium bicarbonate solution or 5%NaOH or brine (table salt) or water wash ?
Did you dry the NonPolar solvent + P2P oil ?
Did you distill the crude P2P oil ?

You can do these things but it won't make much difference in the final product
I never recommend distillation because it is not beneficial
Yes, the black oily layer separated
The good thing about the APAAN method is that you can use P2P directly

I've probably done this over a hundred times, and distilling and washing with sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide is really a big mistake, because it really damages the structure of the material and creates more impurities.
