Re-cycling iso-propyl alcohol?

I've been trying to come up of some way of re-cycling my iso-propyl alcohol...some kind of still kind of thing.
I'm nearly there with my home-made glass version, but does anyone know if there's any reason why I can't condense my evaporated alcohol using a copper still?
I hope not, 'cos I just spotted this;

Cheers!

(Edit) Maybe better to go here;

Copper only shows good in Isopropyl service, which means there is some discoloration and deterioration. http://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-Resistance

Take a look at glass labware on e-bay, as it is relatively cheap.


 
The cost of the energy to reclaim it is cheaper than the cost of the Iso, and the cost of building an outdoor still is minimal ($120 mine), giving a reasonable return on the investment and assets (ROI & ROA) with enough volume, so it ostensibly comes down to volume and the cost of labor where ya'll are at.
