Alternatives to Traditional Thermal Distillation
Distillation of organic solvents is a necessary part of academic research. Typically, researchers use the distillation process to remove water, oxygen, and other contaminants from organic solvents. This process can be hazardous for several reasons: Reactive metals are used as drying agents Many organic solvents are flammable, and the heat required in the distillation process…
