Title: Anyhydrous Toulene The easy method
Post by: rudebwoy on January 04, 2003, 03:08:00 PM

Molecular seives are really good at making things anhydrous.
Toluene can be dried without anything else. Water and toluene form an azeotrope that boils at a lower temp than water or toluene. Basically, toluene can be dried by simply boiling some of it's volume off (depending on water content of course).

;D
thought this could help out other humblebeez out there.
