I have a quantity of alumina which has been used - quite some time
ago - to pre-dry and remove peroxides from tetrahydrofuran. Can
anyone tell me how to regenerate and whether any precautions are
necessary other than the safe removal of any volatiles. I have
access to a vacuum oven with a maximum temperature of 200 deg. C.
TIA -
