I've been looking at a good distillation setup, to reuse my solvent. I figured It would save alot of money and is very eco friendly compared to evaporating of the expensive solvents.

It's fairly easy to get ones hands on one of those copper stills as long you run 98-100% alcohol you should be fine, but for those running a isopropyl extration there might be slight a problem with those copper stills, I read on Wiki P that isopropyl alcohol heated with a copper catalyst would convert isopropyl alocohol into acetone, which is a solvent too but not the one I would pick, but I'm no chemist, my question is would it be a problem using a copper still for a isopropyl extraction, because of this acetone conversion ?

If not usable, is any other metals that would work, I guess stainless steel would work ?

happy extraction folks.
