The working principle of the rotary evaporator is to make the flask rotate at a constant speed at the most suitable speed through electronic control to increase the evaporation area. The evaporation flask is in a negative pressure state through a vacuum pump. The evaporation flask is placed in the water bath pot for constant temperature heating while rotating, and the solution in the flask is heated, diffused and evaporated in the rotating flask under negative pressure. The rotary evaporator system can be sealed and depressurized to 400 ~ 600 mm Hg; Heat the solvent in the distillation flask with a heating bath, and the heating temperature can be close to the boiling point of the solvent; At the same time, it can also rotate at a speed of 50 ~ 160 rpm, so that the solvent can form a film and increase the evaporation area. In addition, under the action of high-efficiency cooler, the hot steam can be liquefied rapidly and the evaporation rate can be accelerated.
Generally, there are several reasons for boiling:
(1) Solid precipitation during operation
(2) Rotating bottle speed is too fast
(3) The temperature is too high, for example, the temperature of ethanol is generally not higher than 35 ℃
(4) The round bottom flask is too deep in the water bath pot, coupled with the high temperature, and the fast rotation speed is easy to burst
When the rotary evaporator explodes, what should be done? Yaote instrument provides you with several solutions:
(1) It can reduce negative pressure distillation, even atmospheric distillation
(2) Reduce the distillation temperature appropriately
(3) Adjust the speed according to the specific situation
(4) A few times during distillation
The above are the reasons and solutions for the explosion of the rotary evaporator when in use. If you still have questions, please call Yaote instrument hotline: 4000-111-217
