Teaching equipment : Stainless steel solid-liquid extraction

Stainless steel solid-liquid extraction

DESCRIPTION   This unit provides a method for separating the components (liquid or solid) of a heterogeneous mixture using an appropriate liquid solvent. The unit is made of stainless steel similar to those used in industry. It can work in either batch or continuous mode and at atmospheric pressure or in a vacuum. The unit can be automated so that it can be computer controlled by adding temperature sensors and regulated heaters (electric or hot fluid).This feature is an optional extra. A user manual is provided.
