Can DCM be evaporated in a rotary evaporator?

Yes, you can use a rotovap to recover DCM. Pull vacuum down to 400mbar and slow heat to 20-25C. Ensure your condenser can get VERY cold to capture most of the solvent. DCM can severely damage rubber gaskets and plastic components, so you don’t want that going into your pump if you can help it. Honestly I’d have an additional steel cold trap before your pump stage for extra protection.
