Separation of Ibuprofen from Pseudoephedrine by evaporation

[zazageliyor12]

Ibuprofen melting point : 78-83 degree

Pseudoephedrine melting point : 119 degree

If we have a medicine that is a mixture of these two substances, we crush the pills and then wrap them in a piece of filter paper.

If we put this paper in a jar

then if we put it in hot water of 90-100 degrees

Can we melt ibuprofen and breastfeed on filter paper?

Ibuprofen is poorly soluble in water, so it must be dissolved in an organic solvent (ethanol), then heated with stirring until completely dissolved, then left to evaporate and pseudoephedrine powder will appear.
