Teaching equipment : Evaporation - crystallization

Evaporation - crystallization

DESCRIPTION   This unit combines, in series, two methods of separating the components of a mixture: Evaporation : This step allows for the partial or complete separation of a liquid from a mixture through the process of evaporation. The evaporation of liquid may leave the remaining solution saturated with respect to a specific solute. Crystallisation : In this step the solution is cooled resulting in the crystallisation of solute because of lower solubility at low temperatures. The mixture studied consists of a solvent (e.g.: water) and a solid body (e.g.: FeSO4 or CuSO4). The unit is semi-automatic and works in continuous mode. A user manual is included.
