Title: quantitative determination of oil in water
Post by: marta_sil on November 21, 2010, 06:51:33 AM

Any idea on how to determine the amount of oil in water? Distillation doesn't work since I don't know the exact boiling point of the oil, it can be from 100-500 Celsius, therefore it won't be very precise. I'll be very grateful if someone answer me as soon as possible since I'm in a huge hurry. Thanks!  :)
