Hello,

Does anyone know of an easy means of removing dissolved butyl alcohol from water? (The boiling point of butanol is ~117 deg. C; the butanol composes ~2% of the solution).

Regards.

Can't you just distill the water out of it? The boiling point of water is just under the boiling point of butanol, so you would have to monitor is constantly...
