Please remember that in the presence of acids or bases, that acetone readily undergoes mesityl oxide formation (through an aldol reaction). This has been one of the many drawbacks of recycling acetone for use.

I have had good luck with CBG Biotech, we are separating a mineral oil and acetone mixture. They sell several models.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an acetone recycling system?
