How to assemble the apparatus for a simple distillation

Clamp the distilling flask firmly to a support stand [Pg.109]

Attach the take-off adapter to the bottom of the condenser with a joint clip. If you are using a Quickfit- flask as a receiving flask, you must use a vacuum-type take-off adapter p. 42) otherwise you will be distilling in a closed system, which may explode when you begin to heat the distilling flask. [Pg.109]

Attach the Quickfit receiver flask to the take-off adapter with a joint clip or place the receiver flask underneath the take-off adapter, supported on a labjack or clamped position. The outlet of the take-off adapter must be just inside the receiving vessel so Itiat no spillage of distillate will occur. If [Pg.109]

Disassemble the apparatus in the reverse order to assembly by opening the clamps - do not move the clamps and stands. [Pg.109]

Add the liquid to be distilled to the distillation flask using a stemmed funnel, together with antibumping granules or boiling stick or a magnetic flea . The flask should not be more than 50% full. Reclamp the flask in position. [Pg.109]
