#5090: Vacuum Distillation Extract Set Kit (1000ml, 24/29)

R2154.60

This vacuum distillation set is perfect for experiments and science projects! 

A vacuum distillation extract set kit (1000ml, 24/29) is a laboratory equipment set that is used to perform vacuum distillation, a technique used to separate and purify liquids. Vacuum distillation involves heating a mixture of liquids under reduced pressure, which causes the components of the mixture to vaporize at lower temperatures than they would at atmospheric pressure. The vapor is then collected and condensed back into a liquid, which allows the components of the mixture to be separated and purified.

The vacuum distillation extract set kit (1000ml, 24/29) typically includes a round-bottomed flask, a distillation head, a condenser, and a receiving flask, all of which are connected by a set of rubber hoses. The round-bottomed flask is used to hold the mixture to be distilled, and the distillation head is used to control the flow of vapor from the flask. The condenser is used to cool the vapor and condense it back into a liquid, and the receiving flask is used to collect the purified liquid.

Vacuum distillation is commonly used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to purify and separate chemicals, as well as in other industries such as food and beverage production. It is important to note that vacuum distillation requires careful handling and attention to safety, as the process involves heating and handling potentially hazardous materials.
