Abstract
A number of modifications to a previously published distillation-free solvent purification system are suggested. The recommended changes result in a substantial savings of cost, space, and time. Several problems encountered in the purification of ethereal solvents are discussed.
Supplement
A detailed description of the apparatus and its use, with diagrams, a list of hardware required, and further references and notes are available.
