Yes it is an azeotrope of safrole + other crap | |||||||
Yes it is an azeotrope of safrole + other crap and water add some salt and solvent e.g. CH2Cl2 and let it stand for some time until you notice a visible drop in the opacity of the solution . It is difficult to get all of it out but you will probably find that there is not a significant amount entrained in there. It can take a long time for the solution to completely clear. What weight of bark did you steam distil and the volume of water that you collected? |

CH2Cl2 != DCM
