Porcelain Evaporating Basins

Porcelain Evaporating Basins

Description:

Porcelain Evaporating Basins are shallow, wide bowls made of high-quality porcelain, designed specifically for evaporation processes in the laboratory. These basins are commonly used for heating liquids to evaporate solvents or water, leaving behind solid residues or concentrates. The material porcelain is chosen for its excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemical corrosion, making it ideal for handling a variety of substances under high temperatures.

These basins are essential tools in analytical chemistry, preparation of samples, and concentration of solutions, and are widely used in labs for sublimation, crystallization, and drying applications.

Specifications:

• Material: Porcelain (highly resistant to heat and corrosion)

• Shape: Shallow, wide bowl with a slightly curved edge for easy pouring

• Size: Available in various volumes, ranging typically from 50 mL to 500 mL, but can vary based on the intended application

• Dimensions: Vary depending on the size, typically with a low, wide profile to maximize surface area for evaporation

• Color: White (standard porcelain color for easy visibility of residues and contents)

• Thermal Stability: Can withstand high temperatures, typically up to 1,200°C depending on the specific porcelain quality

• Resistance: Resistant to acidic and alkaline solutions, making it versatile for a wide range of chemicals

• Durability: Sturdy and durable, designed for repeated use in laboratory environments

Uses:

• Evaporation of Solvents:

  • Used for evaporating water or solvent from a solution to concentrate or isolate compounds in various laboratory applications

• Crystallization:

  • Facilitates crystallization of certain substances after evaporation, especially useful in analytical chemistry

• Preparation of Samples:

  • Often used to prepare samples for further analysis, such as removing excess solvents before the application of other techniques like spectroscopy or chromatography

• Sublimation:

  • Sometimes used for sublimation processes where a solid transforms into a gas without passing through the liquid state

• Drying Processes:

  • Ideal for drying substances by gently evaporating moisture from solid samples

• Chemical Reactions:

  • Used as a container for chemical reactions requiring heating or gradual concentration

• Precipitation:

  • Helps in the separation of precipitates from a solution by evaporating the solvent
