For extracting some oils, for example safrole, steam-distillation does the trick. You can buy stills designed to extract essential oils quite easily.
I got a vintage one.
Step 1- Steam distill
Step 2- Fractionally distill
Makes the place smell wonderful as well.

It says chill/centrifuge, then steam strip (aka steam distill on lab scale). Exactly what I told him to do.
I recomended steam stripping to take advantage of the shifts in vapor equilibria that it would make on the system.

Ok, you don't have a clue what the hell you're talking about. Can we all at least agree on that? |
What about what I said do you not believe?
"DCM dissolves wax as a function of its temperature, at higher temperatures it dissolves more and more wax":
"and is thus carried over any distillation head": So you mean to tell me that dissolving more wax at a higher temerature (ie during a distillation)
has nothing to do with the mol fraction of the liquid, and therefore the mol fraction of the vapor above?
This thread makes my head hurt. Seriously, why are you still arguing with me .... I told you I made it all up. I am a fraud.

He is unbelievable and annoying. I cite a reference a few posts up this thread.
I also suspect trolling here ( ref all the times he failed to address the questions asked)

What I meen (and don't expect you to understand) is that your megalomania prevents you from adequately process the information that you read, hence
you (miss)lead your self to belive that something that refutes your claim actually supports it.

But first you have to post a treatise on the VdW-interactions between nitrogen and DCM giving a decreased solubility of wax in DCM so that the amount
of wax at the still head is lower when you blow 80°C air through the mix than when you distill at 40°C. Or something like that. For bonus points
mention "your" undergads at least three times, n-dimensional phase diagrams, how all this is way over everyones but your head and that it's not your
fault that the theory says such things at least once.

Well now that you've said it ... I have nothing left to say. Couldn't have said it better.

Yes, I said I did and I'm not a liar. OTOH I realise that theres bugger all chance of you helping find out.

I'm not sure he needs psychoactive drugs; he may well grow up to be a useful member of society. In the meantime I guess we just have to put up in the
same way that we do with crying babies on busses and such like.
