Abstract
This paper will discuss the collection of parameters necessary for separation of acetonitrile from hazardous waste by rotary evaporation and spinning band distillation using parameters from previous trials for acetone and ethyl acetate performed by Ronald Newton, Instructional Laboratory Supervisor at Washington State University Department of Chemistry. Analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry were used to determine the purity of the final product by testing for the presence of waste components. At the completion of this research, 75% of the processed waste was recycled, the other 25% was sent offsite for hazardous waste processing.
