A Experiment On Wort Separation

Solid impurities and liquid impurities having quite different boiling points are most easily removed by distillation, but even liquids having similar boiling points can be separated. For easy separations, a "simple distillation" apparatus (Figure 1) will be used for the first part, but for more accurate separations, a "fractional distillation" apparatus (Figure 2) is necessary. In this lab we will be using both apparatuses. Unfortunately, each time a distillation is run, material is lost. Some evaporates into the air and some is left behind, stuck to the apparatus. That is why fractional distillation is the best apparatus to use. It is important to keep a careful record of the temperature at the beginning and end of every fraction you collect. Stop the distillation by removing the heat just before all the liquid in the distilling flask is completely gone. Watching the rate of temperature increase is important, allowing the temperature to increase too quickly can cause impurity. The distillation curves for our simple and fractional distillation clearly demonstrate that fractional distillation separates the two compounds more

Decoction, 1 1/2 oz. of the root, boiled in a quart of water down to a pint.

In this experiment, distillations were done. This is a technique that utilizes the differing boiling points of two or more compounds in a mixture in order to separate the compounds from the mixture. The way fractional distillation works is that the initial mixture is boiled up to the point of the lower boiling point compound; this compound then evaporates. This compound is then

The crude product was washed by taking the reaction product in the separatory funnel and adding 23 mL of deionized H2O. The mixture was shaken and allowed to settle until layers were observable. The top layer was the desired product and approximately 25 mL of aqueous layer was extracted from the separatory funnel. Next, 25 mL of 5% NaHCO3 was added to the separatory funnel in order to neutralize the acid. This mixture was swirled, plugged with the stopper and inverted. Built-up gas was released by turning the stopcock to its opened and closed positions, releasing CO2 by-product. This was done four times in one minute intervals. The solution was allowed to settle until layers were observable. The bottom layer that contained salt, base and water was extracted from the separatory funnel. The crude product was washed again as mentioned previously.

As the water and the flocs particles progress through the treatment process, the move into sedimentation basin where the water moves slowly causing the heavy flocs particles to settle to the bottom of the sedimentation of the basin this is called sludge and is piped to drying lagoons in direct filtration the sedimentation step is not included and the floc is only removed by filtration system

alcohol (2-methyl-2-butanol, MW _ 88.2, d _ 0.805 g/mL) and 25 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (d _ 1.18 g/mL). Do not stopper the funnel. Gently swirl the mixture in the separatory funnel for about 1 minute. After this period of swirling, stopper the separatory funnel and carefully invert it. Without shaking the separatory funnel, immediately open

To carry this out, the initial mixture would be broken up into smaller fractions and each fraction would be distilled according to simple distillation procedures until a pure drop of lower boiling point liquid could be collected—since this pure concentrated compound boils before the other less volatile compound. This obviously is not practical as it yields a very small volume of distillate; however the theory which supports such a procedure is the same theory which the procedure of fractional distillation is built upon. The only difference between the apparatus set-up used for simple distillation and that which is used for fractional distillation is that fractional distillation makes use of a fractional distillation column which is in between the stillhead and the flask containing the pot residue. Some examples of fractional distillation columns are Vigreux columns and Hempel columns. Vigreux columns are marked by indentations while the Hempel column is often packed with material such as glass beads or stainless steel sponge as well as glass tubing sections. The purpose of such a column is a bit muddled at first however when placed in the context of the theory of the series of simple distillations it can be understood that this column simply concatenates the series of simple distillations into one

The aim of this experiment is to use separation techniques to separate a mixture containing polystyrene beads, salt, sand, gravel and iron filings.

The compounds are separated by collecting aliquots of the column effluent as a function of time.

The black precipitate was allowed to settle and then the supernatant, the clear liquid that lies above a precipitate, was decanted, or poured carefully off. Then, 200 mL of hot distilled water was added and the precipitate was allowed to settle to repeat the decanting process again.

As it reaches the distilling side arm, the temperature of the vapor is collected. The vapor pressure becomes strong enough that the vapor begins to travel down the condensing tube where it is converted back into liquid. This liquid should be distilled from any contaminants. This is capable because different molecules have different boiling points. For instance waters boiling point is roughly 100oC where as Methanol’s boiling point is 65.4oC therefore the Methanol will boil and evaporator first leaving only water in the boiling flask. Once the temperature of the vapor reaches 100oC no methanol should be left in the boiling flask and the water should now be the only vapor

The purpose of this experiment is to obtain isolation of individual species of particles from the mixed culture. This is completed through the isolation technique of streak plate. The objective of this experiment is to replicate the technique of streak plate but on a much larger scale. Because it is on a larger scale the particles are able to be visually observed as they are isolated using the streaking technique as the experiment is conducted. The benefits of the streaking technique is when a cultures has multiple species they are able to be more easily identified once they have been isolated. This experiment is much like the experiments completed on an agar plate but on one a much larger scale and where techniques

AIM : Thin-Layer Chromatography can show many different characteristics of a mixture. It is recognized for isolation , separation ,identification, and anaylsis of the mixture’s components. The purpose of this experiment is to separate carbohydrates into its pure components such as mixtures of monosacrides by TLC. TLC is used to identify sugars in normal and pancreatic disease urine, the procedure is easy and reproducible .

The first stage in the brewing process is the preparation of the wort. After the malt is crushed to grist of suitable fineness, and preliminary treatment of the adjuncts takes place to facilitate extraction, the malt and adjuncts are mixed with brewing water to form a mash.

The sweet, milky solution is sterilised at a high temperature for a short time, destroying any bacteria that may be present. This process is called UHTST (Ultra Heat Treatment, Short Time). The solution is then transferred to a 6,000-litre fermentation tank via a closed system of pipes and valves.
