Mix for one minute, allow the layers to separate
Drain aqueous layer (brine wash) - keep in a separate container labeled “waste” and transfer into the liquid waste at the end experiment
Drain organic layer into a small, labeled Erlenmeyer flask
Use an additional 2 mL of EtOAc to rinse any residual CAF from the walls of the separatory funnel.
Remove any visible water from the bottom of the Erlenmeyer using a pipet
Add two spatula tips of anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)
