Ethanol Water Separation Test.

Technical Application Guide Quality Lab Approved

A Simple Test to separate Ethanol and its unwantingly added water is to add POTASSIUM CARBONATE to separatethem out. This offers a very small potassium carbonate impurity to the alcohol that can be removed by distillation. This method is very useful in purification of ethanol by distillation, as ethanol forms an azeotrope with water.
