I need a method for easily drying NMP (N-methyl-pirrolidone). Any idea about it?

23 October 2017 1 6K Report

I need to use anhydrous NMP and I am looking for a method to remove water from it.

I know this is an old question, but...

It looks like NMP is sometimes sold over molecular seives. I imagine you could just add some molecular seives and let it sit 24-48h or so.
