APPARATUS
Crucibles:
Crucibles are cup-shaped vessels
made with such material that they will
stand extremely high temperature.
Incinerators:
Ignition incinerators are used in hospital pharmacy to burn infectious waste.
Fig: Incinerator
METHODS/LAYOUT:
• IGNITION WITH HEAT LAMP:
Process:
The filter containing the precipitate is folded, laid in the crucible and heated
slowly until the filter is reduced to ash.
When cooled it is placed in the desiccator.
Via Copper
Drying
Oven:
Process:
It is a single walled copper box placed on a stand with a Bunsen burner placed
below .
An opening is present for the insertion of thermometer.
The ovens are constructed with double walls to admit filling with water.
After process of ignition the substance is allowed to cool in a dessicator.
