We are using Ethyl Acetate purity 99.8% with acidity 0.001% calculated as Acetic Acid.
Unfortunately, we have some quantity whose purity is 99.8% but acidity is 0.3% which is higher than our specific use.
Kindly guide any neutralizing agent compatible with Ethyl Acetate to neutralize its Acidity from 0.3% to 0.001% without harming its purity, colour etc.
Kindly mention the name of this neutralizing Chemical for purchase from market.

Try some ammonium chloride (few drops) in one liter of EA sample.
