Short Path Distillation

Short path distilation is a distillation technique that involves the distillate travelling a short distance. It's method separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boing liquid mature under reduced pressure.As the sample mixture to be purified isheated, its vapors rise a short distance into a vertical condenser where they are cooledby water. This technique is used for compounds which are unstable at high temperatures,because it allows a lower boiling temperature to be used.

The advantage of short path distillation is that the heating temperature can be considerably lower at reduced pressure than the boiling point of the liquid at standard pressure, and the distillate only has to travel a short distance before condensing. A short path ensures that little compounds lost on the sides of the apparatus.

Topacelab have 2L, 5L, 10L and 20L short path distillation system available, which is suitable for different processing need.
