Sorry to barrage you guys again, but I have more questions - What sort of time could one expect to take to process about 15 liters (that is the most the unit I'm working with will take) through a column reflux unit (using a kitchen electrical stove element) ? And how would you know for sure when the ethyl-good stuff has been exhausted ?
Ok, I think I just ran across one answer on the parent site. It sounds like its time to quit when the temp at the condenser reaches 96 degrees C. And as for the other, I guess I'm talking about a stripping run, so it would be about 3 hrs, maybe less ?
more newbie questions
