Anyone know method for making Absolute Ethanol from 96% Ethanol?
Magnesium Sulphate or Calsium Chloride will do this?

Destilling it over anhydrous magnesiumsulfate should work.
Also there is the old trick of adding benzene so that it forms an azeotrop with water so it can be destilled.
Also there is a possibilty with glycerol of which i dont know the details.
I dont know why calciumchloride should not work.

The search engine on this board isn't the greatest, granted, but I am confident of your google-fu to find the threads which are applicable to your
straightforward question.
If your search is yet wanting, please peruse any of the basic tomes on organic chemistry.
