I found out that Xylene is used in some pesticides as a sovent. Some of them contains a good amount of it (up to 650g/L). Now I'm thinking to distill it. What do you bees think about it? Do you think it is safe?
Give me some chemicals and I'll give you pleasure

I would not do it, but thatis just my personal opinion. You will never get rid of all traces of pesticides.

Is OTC Xylene a mixture of isomers? I once hard that in the "common mixture" the meta isomer is prominent, but Im only interested in the ortho... :P Is there a decent amount of the ortho isomer in it?
Of COURSE we don't know what we're doing! That's why it's called research! (boom...) :)
-

LMAO.....I wish...
So is every product by Ortho made of ortho-isomers then? That would be kinda nifty. What a marketing scheme...

Is xylene not available in your area?
The o- isomer can be frationally distilled unlike the p- & m-isomers that yeild poor results when processed this way.
....or we could just sit around and poke each other with sharp sticks all day.

Ya better have one long column for that one.
I think my column is to short and fat :(
:P ;D :)
