[Rhodes22-list] Ethanol problem

[Michael D. Weisner]

Ed,

I saw the photo as well.  I was objecting to their discussion of phase 
separation as irreversible.  I am not a chemical engineer and do not know 
more about the problem than what I have read.  I simply wondered if they 
were a good reference, since the vendor of Pri-G seems to have the problem 
licked according to their literature.  We need someone who really knows what 
can be done, not a statement about alcohol's affinity for water.
