how separate these substances from each other?
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:59:34 PM »
I like to play with chemistry and wondering if anyone here can help me a bit.
I possess a mixture containing
fatty alcohol ethoxylate CAS No. 68439-45-2. 5-10%
gamma butyrolactone cas No. 96-48-0         60-100%
glycol ether CAS No. 005131-66-8               10-30%
orange terpenes CAS No. 8028-48-6            1-5%

Someone here who knows how I can achieve this? I possess in general a reflux distillation with  a column like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-24-40-Reflux-Condenser-/370611122106?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564a24efba#ht_919wt_1110 can distinguish the different substances from each other whith this? or someone who has some good advice?  someone who does not know but who still know where I can dedicate my knowledge, do not hesitate to answer


thanks for answers

How much of this mixture do you have?

You will require to examine the various boiling points of the components of this mixture. The carry out a fractional distillation,
