And once again, I have relied on the comments of users and reviewers in guiding the changes and additions that have been made. Safety in the laboratory, always a primary concern, now has to consider the addition of such technology as the iPad, the Nook, the Kindle, and even text mes- saging, where applicable. Microscale, also where applicable, has been reviewed and updated as well. And while currently resisting the deletion of double-beam spectro- photometers altogether, a discussion of the technique of Attenuated Total Refl ectance and associated practices has been added to the section on Infrared Spectroscopy (Chapter 32). The discussion and presentation of the section on Nuclear Magnetic Reso- nance (Chapter 33) has been re-worked such that the different methods of sample preparation, and instrument operation for continuous-wave and FT-NMR have been made to contrast more sharply. A number of NMR spectra, with suggestions on pre- sentation of the data, and basic interpretation have also been added. Presentation of a more modern outline of the instrumentation of HPLC (Chapter 31) includes discussion of automatic injectors, yet there is a bit of a loss as this instrument, now highly computer-controlled, no longer has visible pumps, valves, and miles of tubing and fi ttings, just a series of fairly quiet, putty-colored boxes that produce excellent data with ease and a bit of boredom. This kind of transition has put this edition of the Survival Manual into a bit of an “equilibrium mode,” as now, at the urging of reviewers, some older techniques have been removed as newer information has been included. The actual making of TLC plates on microscope slides, which apparently needs not be done anymore, has been removed, and comments about handling and cutting pre-prepared plates have been updated and expanded (Chapter 27). I’d like to thank my reviewers, Sean O’Connor, Clemson University; Lucy Moses, Virginia Commonwealth University; Christine Rich, University of Louisville; Sean O’Connor, University of New Orleans; Jeffrey Hugdahl, Mercer University; Kathleen Peterson, University of Notre Dame; Chavonda Mills, Georgia College & State University; Beatrix Aukszi, Nova Southeastern University; Robert Stockland, Bucknell University; Jennifer Krumper, UNC-Chapel Hill; Rui Zhang, Western Kentucky University; Holly Sebahar, University of Utah; Adam List, Vanderbilt University for their comments and suggestions, most of which have been iii iv PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION incorporated in this work. Finally, I’d like to thank Petra Recter, Associate Publisher, Chemistry and Physics, for the chance to perform this update, and Joan Kalkut, Sponsoring Editor, for her tremendous patience and support during a personally diffi cult time.

  • Experiment 2 — Distillation and Gas Chromatography
    Chem 21 Fall 2009 Experiment 2 — Distillation and Gas Chromatography _____________________________________________________________________________ Pre-lab preparation (1) Read the supplemental material on distillation theory and techniques from Zubrick, The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual, and the section on Gas Chromatography from Fessenden, Fessenden, and Feist, Organic Laboratory Techniques, then read this handout carefully. (2) In your notebook, write a short paragraph summarizing what you will be doing in this experiment and what you hope to learn about the efficiencies of the distillation techniques. (3) Sketch the apparatus for the simple and fractional distillations. Your set-up will look much like that shown on p 198 of Zubrick, except that yours will have a simple drip tip in place of the more standard vacuum adaptor. (4) Look up the structures and relevant physical data for the two compounds you will be using. What data are relevant? Read the procedure, think about the data analysis, and decide what you need. (5) Since you have the necessary data, calculate the log of the volatility factor (log α) that you will need for the theoretical plate calculation. Distillation has been used since antiquity to separate the components of mixtures. In one form or another, distillation is used in the manufacture of perfumes, flavorings, liquors, and a variety of other organic chemicals. One of its most important modern applications is in refining crude oil to make fuels, lubricants, and other petrochemicals. The first step in the refining process is separation of crude petroleum into various hydrocarbon fractions by distillation through huge fractionating columns, called distillation towers, that are hundreds of feet high.

DEPARTMENT OP COMMERCB NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS RESEARCH PAPER RPl201 Part of Journa.l of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Volume 22, Ma.y 1939 EFFICIENCY OF A ROTARY DISTILLATION COLUMN 12 By Beveridge J. Mair and Charles B. Willingham a ABSTRACT Determinations of the height equivalent to a theorfltical plate (H.E.T.P.); hold-up, and through-put were made on a rotary distillation column of the Pegram-Urey-Huffman type having a rectifying section 56 em long and 5.08 cm in diameter. Using 8S rotatinl!; members (1) baskets with fine holes, (2) flat plates, and (3) cones. test s of separating efficiency were made at speeds of rota­ tion ranging from 250 to 1,500 rpm and through-puts ranging from 1 to 10 ml of liquid per minute. The binary 8 y ~ tem methylcyclohexane-n-heptane was used as the test mixture. The lowest H.E T.P. was obtained with the conical rotating members spaced 0.64 cm apart, with which the following average results were obtained: H.E.T.P., 1.04 cm; hold-up, 1.3 to 1.6 ml of liqnid per theoretical plate; maximum through-put, 10 ml 0f liquid per minute. Within the reproducibility of these experiments, there was no variation in H.E.T.P. for values of through-. put from 2 to 10 ml of liquid per minute and speeds of rotation from 250 to 1,500 rpm.

  • Distillation Handbook
    I distillation terminology To provide a better understanding of the distillation process, the following briefly explains the terminology most often encountered. SOLVENT RECOVERY The term "solvent recovery" often has been a somewhat vague label applied to the many and very different ways in which solvents can be reclaimed by industry. One approach employed in the printing and coatings industries is merely to take impure solvents containing both soluble and insoluble particles and evapo- rate the solvent from the solids. For a duty of this type, APV offers the Paraflash evaporator, a compact unit which combines a Paraflow plate heat exchanger and a small separator. As the solvent ladened liquid is recirculated through the heat exchanger, it is evaporated and the vapor and liquid separated. This will recover a solvent but it will not separate solvents if two or more are present. Afurther technique is available to handle an air stream that carries solvents. By chilling the air by means of vent condensers or refrigeration equipment, the solvents can be removed from the condenser. Solvents also can be recovered by using extraction, adsorption, absorption, and distillation methods. S 0 LV E NT EXT R ACT I0 N Essentially a liquid/liquid process where one liquid is used to extract another from a secondary stream, solvent extraction generally is performed in a column somewhat similar to a normal distillation column. The primary difference is that the process involves two liquids instead of liquid and vapor. During the process, the lighter (i.e., less dense) liquid is charged to the base of the column and rises through packing or trays while the more dense liquid descends.

A genome-enabled metabolic model, complete with measured biomass composition, was analyzed using ecological resource allocation theory to predict and interpret metabolic acclimation to irradiance, O2, and nutrient stresses. Reduced growth efficiency, shifts in photosystem utilization, changes in photorespiration strategies, and differing byproduct secretion patterns were predicted to occur along culturing stress gradients. These predictions were compared with photobioreactor physiological data and previously published transcriptomic data and found to be highly consistent with observations, providing

  • Micro Boiling Point Determination
    MICRO BOILING POINT DETERMINATION The boiling point, like the melting point, is used to characterize a liquid substance and is particularly useful for identifying organic liquids. Many organic liquids, however, are flammable and this determination must be done with care. This procedure provides a safe and simple method for determining the boiling point of a flammable, volatile liquid. Safety Precautions: The liquids used in this procedure are flammable. Although the danger of fire is greatly reduced by the use of small samples, it is not eliminated. Keep all liquid samples away from open flames. Avoid inhaling vapors from volatile liquids. Avoid skin contact with the volatile liquids. Know the flash point of the oil used in this experiment. Keep the oil temperature at least 20C below the flash point. Materials Needed: Test tube, 6 x 50 mm Glass capillary tube, closed one end Thiele tube with mineral oil (you can substitute a 150 -mL beaker for the Thiele tube) Dropper Thermometer, 150C or higher, if needed Rubber tubing Scissors Triangular file Test tube holder Procedure for Determining Micro Boiling Point: The set-up for this procedure is shown in Figure BP -1. Obtain a 6 x 50 mm test tube. Holding it with a test tube holder, slowly h eat the test tube from the bottom to the open top to remove any water condensed on the interior of the tube. Place the tube on a ceramic hot pad to cool before use. Attach the 6 x 50 mm test tube, or a micro boiling point tube, to the thermometer using a rubber band made by cutting a piece of rubber tubing about 2 mm thick.

  • Distillation1
    Distillation1 Distillation is a commonly used method for purifying liquids and separating mixtures of liquids into their individual components. Familiar examples include the distillation of crude fermentation broths into alcoholic spirits such as gin and vodka, and the fractionation of crude oil into useful products such as gasoline and heating oil. In the organic lab, distillation is used for purifying solvents and liquid reaction products. In analyzing a distillation, how do we know the real composition of each collected component? In this lab, we will introduce gas chromatography (GC), which will tell us how pure each fraction we collected is. After the distillation of your unknown is complete, you will analyze both components via GC. See page 11 and 12 for a light discussion on GC. To understand distillation, first consider what happens upon heating a liquid. At any temperature, some molecules of a liquid possess enough kinetic energy to escape into the vapor phase (evaporation) and some of the molecules in the vapor phase return to the liquid (condensation). An equilibrium is set up, with molecules going back and forth between liquid and vapor. At higher temperatures, more molecules possess enough kinetic energy to escape, which results in a greater number of molecules being present in the vapor phase. If the liquid is placed into a closed container with a pressure gauge attached, one can obtain a quantitative measure of the degree of vaporization. This pressure is defined as the vapor pressure of the compound, which can be measured at different temperatures. Consider heating cyclohexane, a liquid hydrocarbon, and measuring its vapor pressure at different temperatures.
