I'd have to ask my mgr, who's a solvent extraction specialist, but I suspect you're going to need to do some sort of solvent extraction or use a special media bed (same principle as in DI media).

I don't think you'll be able to just do a mass separation as you're having an attraction between the functional groups in the oil & alcohol.

You might contact Dow, Fisher or Anachemia to see what media they have that might be appropriate for your application.
