Let's review the isolation (recovery)
of amines and organic acids:

- Do acidification/basification carefully.
- Use concentrated NaOH or HCl rather
than dilute NaOH or HCl.
- Check the final pH.
- Collect the precipitate by vacuum filtration
and purify by recrystallization.
-
- Well, how about the recovery of neutral
compounds?
