(4)Separation Apparatus
Funnel Solid Addition Funnel Hot Filtration Funnel Buchner Funnel
Filtering Crucible or Gooch Crucible Liquid Separation Funnel
Cross-section of a crucible Centrifuge Tube
Very useful in hand-draining of different layers of
a liquid mixture.
Filter paper
necessary for
filtration using
funnel and
Buchner funnel.
Funnels are
also
Often used for
transferring
liquids or
solids.
Transferring of
materials does
not require
filter paper.
The Centrifuge
shown here is a
fully electrically
operated.
There are also
mechanically
operated
centrifuges.
