Hello!
Does anyone know if Acetone and Ethanol form an azeotrope?
I have a 60/40% Acetone/Ethanol solution that I am trying to separate through fractional distillation.
However, the first product comes over at 60-61C, even though Acetone's BP is 56.53, and Ethanol's is 78.4.
Tried it a couple of times, making sure everything was 100% on each run, with same result, worried that I am NOT getting very clean acetone.
Having said that, I have found NO info about whether the two form an azeotrope on any charts.
Any advice?
thanks for your help!
Jeff
