I never saw the oil part just the small particle part. So the oil will actually dissolve into the alcohol?

Yeap which is why it's used as a solvent.

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.
Good info, thanks
