You need to measure the volume and density after and before adosrption and use the pubblished tables to calculate the conecntration and the make mass balance as you pointed out Yours truely Pannirselvam Natal, RN, Brasil. On 9/1/05, Tom Irwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I

Hi All, I finally found a source of 3A molecular sieve. It´s been sitting in 95% ethanol overnight. How do I test the ethanol to see if I removed the 5% water? Simple mass balance? I don´t have a Karl Fisher titrator. BTW, I used the recommended 250 grams of 3A per liter of ethanol. Thanks,

Hello Tom, May I offer unorthodox solution? Try to measure the specific gravity and density using specific gravity bottle. If it matches sg of pure ethanol you are there for practical purposes, unless you are aiming for AR quality..Tom Irwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I finally found a

Anhydrous Ethanol!!. Heh fellers, had to chop in here with my two cents worth. They best that you can get by distillation is about 95% ethanol. Its all about azeotropes. But then you use a dessicant to take out the rest. Roast some rice grains in the oven until they crackle and add them to the
