Methods for dehydrating organic compounds and common dehydrating agents
Thread Content
Alcohols contain a high amount of water; to remove this water, what dehydration methods have experienced professionals used? If azeotropic dehydration is employed, which dehydrating agents are the best? The boiling point of the target product is 115 degrees; it also contains some light-component alcohols and propanes, among others, whose boiling points are all below 85 degrees.
Alcohols with a boiling point of 115 degrees are likely similar to n-butanol; n-butanol has a boiling point of around 117.2 degrees. An azeotrope can be used in this case, so no dehydrating agent is necessary.

Direct azeotropic dehydration results in a residual water content that is well above the limit
The remaining water is used in the next batch of operations.

This is already water in a multiple azeotrope, and it cannot be dehydrated through direct azeotropy. One can only choose to add another substance or use another method for dehydration
