Please ask your question clearly. Was a character typed incorrectly?
This question is completely pointless; you should ask what solvent it is Different solvents require different treatment methods
For organic solvents such as methanol and propanol, are there any other methods for removing water apart from distillation?
Depending on the volume to be processed, anhydrous calcium chloride can be used for dehydration in cases of small quantities
They are all part of the same broad category of problems. There are general approaches, but discussing each specific issue in detail may be more meaningful
Methanol, propanol, and the like can be vaporized with some calcium oxide added.
Extraction tower, the type with a perforated plate equipped with downcomers; the higher it is, the finer the pore size, and dozens of layers are sufficient.
Analyze specific operating conditions individually; molecular sieve dehydration is also a method
Different organic solvents have varying methods for removing water, which is related to the properties of the reagents themselves
