Abstract
ETHYL alcohol which has been dehydrated by an azeotropic process is liable to contain traces of absorbent impurities, for example, benzene1, which make it more difficult to purify for absorption spectrophotometry. Alcohol known to have been produced by one of the above methods was subjected to the following processes:
