Dean-Stark traps
 |
Designed specifically for azeotropic distillation using solvents lighter than water. Each Dean-Stark trap comes standard with a 4mm bore PTFE stopcock. The 12mL and 25mL traps use a 2mm bore stopcocks.

Modified Dean-Stark apparatus
|
|
The 8mL reservoir version is specifically designed for small scale azeotropic distillation of valuable solvents using heavy water. 2mm bore PTFE stopcock, 300mm overall height.
|
 |
The modified Dean-Stark technique (See Fig. 1)
- Solvent vapors condense and collect in the receiver
- The modified Dean-Stark trap separates the two components
- The heavier than water layer sinks to the bottom of the trap leaving the water on top
- The solvent is forced back through the inside tube and returned to the boiling flask
- The upper water layer is drained out through the 2mm PTFE stopcock
