Simple Distillation Set

Simple Distillation Apparatus without Stand

The simple distillation apparatus is an essential tool in the laboratory for separating components of a liquid mixture using the distillation technique. This process involves vaporization and subsequent condensation of vapors, utilizing a condenser that quickly cools and condenses the vapors.

Simple distillation is particularly effective when working with liquids whose components have significant differences in boiling points or when seeking to separate liquids from non-volatile solids.

Components of the Apparatus

• Round-bottom flask with standard joint.
• Head with Liebig condenser and outlet adapted for thermometers.
• Thermometer adapter.
• Bent collector.
• Rod thermometer with a wide measurement range.

All pieces are made of borosilicate glass 3.3, known for its high thermal and chemical resistance, ensuring durability and safety during use under various experimental conditions.

Properties of Borosilicate Glass 3.3

This type of glass offers excellent chemical resistance to water, saline solutions, acids, and bases, as well as organic solvents. It is only vulnerable to hydrofluoric acid and can be attacked by strong bases and phosphoric acid at high temperatures.

Take advantage of the capabilities of the simple distillation apparatus to perform precise and efficient separations in your laboratory.
