Product Description
We are offering the distillation apparatus, which is used in various applications. It comprises a vessel which is used for plant material and water. The apparatus also has a condenser which is used for cooling and condensing the vapor generated. The last main part of this apparatus is a received, which is a way of collecting. Note that distillation is a time-consuming operation, and there is a chance that the water might harm other chemicals. We assure the best quality of this distillation apparatus.
Superior Construction and SafetyFeaturing borosilicate glass, renowned for its 5 Mohs hardness, this distillation apparatus ensures exceptional chemical and thermal resistance. The electrical heating mantle is constructed from mild steel and provides efficient, uniform heating, while the integrated thermal cut-off enhances operational safety by preventing overheating during distillation tasks.
Versatile Laboratory ApplicationsDesigned for versatility, this apparatus supports both organic and inorganic liquid distillation processes. Compatible with various condenser types and flask sizes, it adapts easily to diverse laboratory requirements. With an operating temperature range up to 250C and ambient humidity tolerance, it delivers reliable, repeatable results for separation and purification procedures.
Complete Distillation SetEach unit includes all essential glassware and accessories: a round-bottom flask, condenser (Liebig or Allihn), adapter, analog mercury thermometer, stand, and clamps. Connections are straightforward, with glass sockets and rubber tubing connectors provided, ensuring quick setup and secure assembly for immediate laboratory use.
FAQ's of Distillation Apparatus:
Q: How do I assemble and use the distillation apparatus in a laboratory setting?
A: Begin by attaching the round-bottom flask to the apparatus using the standard B24 joint. Connect the condenser (Liebig or Allihn) with the provided glass socket and rubber tubing connectors, ensuring a secure fit for cooling water inlet and outlet. Insert the analog mercury thermometer into the adapter, set up the supporting stand and clamps, and fill the flask with your specimen. Operate the electrical heating mantle manually and monitor the temperature for accurate separation.
Q: What are the main benefits of using borosilicate glass in this distillation setup?
A: Borosilicate glass offers high chemical resistance, thermal stability, and durability (hardness 5 Mohs), making it suitable for repeated heating cycles, exposure to aggressive chemicals, and autoclavable operations. This ensures safety and longevity of the apparatus during rigorous laboratory distillation tasks.
Q: When should the thermal cut-off feature in the heating mantle be checked or reset?
A: The thermal cut-off engages automatically if the heating mantle overheats, preventing accidents and equipment damage. If activated, allow the apparatus to cool, inspect it for possible causes of overheating, and reset the mantle following the user manual before resuming distillation.
Q: Where are the water inlet and outlet connections located on the condenser?
A: Both the cooling water inlet and outlet are provided on the condenser body, accessible via rubber tubing connectors. Attach external tubing to these connectors to ensure efficient water circulation and optimal condensation during operation.
Q: What types of liquid specimens can be safely distilled using this apparatus?
A: The unit is suitable for organic and inorganic liquid mixtures, allowing effective separation and purification. Specimen capacity ranges from 100 ml to 500 ml using the included round-bottom flask, making it adaptable to various laboratory experiments.
Q: How does the apparatus ensure precise temperature measurement and control?
A: Temperature is monitored with an analog mercury thermometer capable of measuring up to 250C. The heating mantle features manual, thermostatic control, providing accurate regulation during distillation, with temperature accuracy typically 1C and a resolution up to 0.1C, depending on the thermometer.
