5L Short Path Distillation | Lab Heat-Sensitive Purification CE Certified

5l short path distillation is a kind of equipment used to separate liquid mixtures in the laboratory. It heats the liquid mixture to make its components turn into steam, and then condenses it into liquid to separate different components.

The capacity of this equipment is generally 5 liters, which is suitable for small laboratories. It is small and convenient to operate, and can separate the mixture quickly and efficiently, and get pure substances. It is often used in laboratory experiments and research, such as organic chemical synthesis, natural product extraction and solvent recovery.

5l short path distillation is a distillation method similar to boiling water, but more advanced and refined. It uses special equipment. After the mixture is heated to boiling, steam will rise to the height of the equipment, and then it will touch the cold surface and condense into water droplets. This is the process of distillation.

Specifically, short-distance distillation refers to a distillation technology for high-boiling and heat-sensitive materials, which is mainly used in chemical industry, pharmacy, environmental protection and other fields

The advantages of this technology are high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, because it can be separated at lower temperature and pressure, thus reducing the damage to materials and saving energy.

The following are the specific application steps of 5L distillation ,5l short path distillation in esterification reaction:

●  Add the required alcohol, carboxylic acid and catalyst into a distillation device.

The equipment is heated to the temperature required for the reaction, and the esterification reaction is carried out within a certain temperature range.

● During the reaction, water is continuously generated and evaporated from the reaction solution. Because of the high vacuum degree of the equipment, the boiling point of water will be much lower than its boiling point under normal pressure, so the effective removal of water can be realized at a lower temperature.

● The resulting ester will remain in the equipment and be separated from unreacted alcohol and carboxylic acid. These unreacted raw materials can be recovered and reused by distillation equipment.

● By controlling the temperature and pressure of the equipment, the speed and selectivity of esterification can be controlled. After the reaction, the distilled water and ester can be collected and further separated and purified.

Advantages of esterification using the equipment include:

● Water and ester can be effectively separated from the reaction solution, and the influence of water on the esterification reaction is avoided.

● The separation can be carried out at a lower temperature, which avoids the damage of high temperature to the reaction solution and products.

● Unreacted raw materials can be recovered, which reduces the cost and improves the purity of products.

The equipment has good sealing performance, which can prevent oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases in the air from entering the equipment, thus avoiding the problem that materials are oxidized.
