emulsion? | Bookmark | |||||
i've been distilling bay leaves to get good at distillation...i'm set up properly, but my distillate is not seperating into distinct layers in the seperatory funnel...instead, i get one big layer of cloudy water with a very strong smell. what would be the best way to isolate the oil? i tried salting the mess, but now i just have salt at the bottom of the funnel. any ideas? i used TFSE...just answer TFQ! |

Extract with some DCM or other non-polar solvent and distill off the solvent to leave the oil. Sink or SWIM |
