Iam having a slight colloidal solution with some dark suspensions. The solution is aqueous based (It has water). Can i evaporate some of this water content using a rotary evaporator? Can i extract the dark suspensions?
Yes, you can evaporate solvent (including water) from a suspension using a rotary evaporator. If your colloids have a tendency to aggregate while drying, you may want to evaporate in a powder flask rather than a standard, smooth evaporating flask.
