  • The first laboratory technique that we will learn together is a very simple one, filtration. This is how we separate a mixture of liquids and solids. There are two common ways a chemist will perform filtration, those being gravity filtration and vacuum filtration. These are very easy to understand and perform, but there are some tricks involving the setup and execution that one must understand in order to be successful with them. Let's go through these techniques together now!

    I would add something about vacuum filtration. Either use gravity filtration or a very weak vacuum if your desired product has delicate crystals. Example: making metallic aerogel blocks

      @@borttorbbq2556 I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about in all honesty. But in metal aerogel synthesis, particularly for battery electrodes, you want a gentle vacuum to remove the hexane solution, and also gently add methanol to dissolve any salts that are in the aerogel, particularly if it's a mixed aerogel like iron + copper or tungsten + molybdenum. You have to keep the vacuum power low so that the metal aerogel doesn't collapse in on itself, if your ideal product is a tablet. If it's okay to have a metal aerogel powder for your needs, then it's okay, ramp the vacuum.
      It should be noted that this whole process must take place in an anhydrous and anaerobic environment.

    So far I've only performed vacuum filtrations using a faucet, and in these cases we're always taught to, when we're done, first pull the hose out, and close the faucet only after that. Otherwise, some liquid might flow back to the flask due to the change in pressure.
    I'm not sure that's also the case with the device being shown here.

    • @colinprice712
      @colinprice712 Před rokem

      We always used to have a second flask in the vacuum line - this acted as a trap in case of "suck back" or overflow of the solvent into the pump (especially if you're using a mechanical pump - they don't like water inside!).
      I'm a bit surprised that water pumps are still used - lots of waste water and possible contamination problems...

    Filtração simples
    usada para separar misturas heterogêneas sólido+líquido
    usa a força gravitacional para remover as impurezas, queremos isolar (obter) o líquido filtrado
    passo a passo:
    dobramos o papel de filtro (podendo dubrá-lo em 1/4 ou 1/8, sendo o 1/8 uma técnica maia rápida)
    colocamos a argola no suporte universal e nela colocamos o filtro. Dentro do vidro, colocamos o papel de filtro, o qual molhamos com o mesmo líquido solvente da mistura para que ele adira ao vidro, sem deixar pontos secos ou bolhas
    garantimos que a mistura está "bem misturada" e despejamos ela lentamente no filtro
    notas:
    não tenha pressa! a mistura não pode passar da altura do papel de filtro, pois pode contaminar o líquido filtrado
    deixe o funil próximo do frasco coletor e com sua ponta tocando as paredes internas do recipiente (para que o líquido filtrado não goteje)
    para garantir que toda mistura foi separada, lavamos o recipiente em que estava a mistura com o solvente dela, para extrair os restos de soluto
    Filtração à Vácuo
    destinada para grandes volumes de mistura, por ser mais rápida
    obtenção do sólido (e também do liquido, mas o sólido é o principal)
    usamos um kitassato conectado à uma bomba à vácuo, pois a pressão causada pela remoção do ar
    puxa o líquido através do filtro, acelerando o processo
    usamos também um funil de buchner, o qual cobrimos com um papel de filtro (que deve ter exatamente o tamanho do funil, sem sobrar nem deixar de cobrir os buraquinhos)
    aperte o funil contra o kitassato para garantir a pressão adequada
    para que o papel adira ao funil, molhe-o com o solvente da mistura
    teste o funcionamento do sistema
    despeje sua mistura no filtro
    deixe a bomba ligada por um tempinho para "secar" o sólido obtido
    remova o papel de filtro com uma pinça
    notas:
    não deixe o vácuo muito intenso, isso pode rasgar o papel de filtro e resultar em contaminação
    não faça com que o líquido no kitassato atinja a parte em que o frasco é conectado com a bomba, ou o líquido será sugado pela máquina

      @@CyberMew That depends on the level of cleanliness your experiment needs. For the vast majority of all cases, you can rinse out the flask's volume three times with clean water. Let's say when you dump out a 1000 mL flask down the sink, and there's still about 10 mL's of soapy water clinging to the sides that you can't get out. Well when you fill that up with the first volume, you've diluted that soapy water 100 times (10 mL soapy water in 990 mL clean water). Then you dump that out again, with 10 mL remaining. Fill it up again, you've diluted that 100 times. Do it a third time. By now the little bit of soapiness after your wash has been diluted 1,000,000 times. So that's clean enough that it won't interfere with just about anything. That said, there are a few ultrasensitive measurements where it could, so you'll need a better cleaning protocol, but that would usually just involve many more washings with clean solvent.

Again just depends on how much Purity is necessary RO water is pretty much as pure as you can get without going through distillation processes

      I mean you're not wrong. I mean to do a good pour over you know you need a precise temperature of water you need a precise grind the coffee and when it comes to filtration if all of these factors are not correct it can either take a very very long time to make your coffee or it just runs through and you basically end up with Bean water. But his description of how to do gravity filtration is exactly how you do a proper pour over you bring it up to being just a little hello rim and then you let it mostly filter through and then you top it up as you go you don't let it fully filter through until you're done otherwise you're going to run into problems but you also want to be careful as no one wants ground in their coffee. No if you're using an electric machine then you know you're cheating but essentially it's doing all of that for you except for the grind that one you still need to select one and Electric machines actually use a different Grind from Standard Pour overs
