Distillation equipment - Names and Identifiers
Distillation equipment - Introduction
Distillation equipment is a common laboratory equipment used to separate liquid mixtures. Based on the different boiling points of the liquid components, it achieves the purpose of separating the different components by heating the mixture and recollecting the generated steam and the recondensed liquid.
The main part of the distillation equipment includes a heating device, a cooling device, a liquid receiver and a collection container. The heating device is usually a furnace or hot plate for heating the mixture. The cooling device is usually a condenser that cools the vapor into a liquid for further collection. The liquid receiver is used to separate the collected different components and introduce them into the corresponding container.
Distillation equipment is widely used in chemical laboratories. It is used to extract pure organic compounds from natural products, such as alcohol, phenolic compounds, ketones or aldehydes. Distillation apparatuses are also commonly used for separation and purification of organic solvents, purification of organic synthesis reaction products, and the like.
The preparation method of distillation equipment is relatively simple. Usually, the heating device, the cooling device and the liquid receiver are combined in the required order and fixed on the bracket. Care should be taken to ensure the tightness of the connection to ensure that no leakage occurs during the distillation process.
When using distillation equipment, you need to pay attention to safety matters. First, ensure the stability of the equipment to avoid accidents during the heating process. Second, the appropriate temperature and heat source should be used when heating to avoid overheating or explosion. When operating distillation equipment, wear appropriate protective glasses and laboratory gloves, and maintain proper ventilation. Special attention should be paid to the use of flammable or toxic substances, be extra careful and operate with explosion-proof equipment.
