RECRYSTALLIZATION
OF IM
purification of compound
purify liquids
Compounds dissolved in a liquid
purifying nonvolatile (rapidly)
RECRYSTALLIZATION PROCESS
add
activated charcoal
(absorption of solute to solvent and filter)
Cool down
in rum temp
RECRYSTALLIZATION CHARACTERISTICS
dissolved well in
Bp
not
in room temp
dissolve
impurities
well in room temp
must
not
react with the substance to be purified
solvent should be
volatile
(oils or liquids evaporate rapidly)
solvent should be
inexpensive
(water)
solvent should not be dissolve
insoluble
impurities even at solvent BP. removed by
gravity filtration
BENZOIC ACID
topical antiseptics
anti-fungal antibacterial
preventives
DISTILLATION
change the phase of compond
method separating mixture based on different conditions of liquid preparation.
not chemical reaction, but Physical separation process
BOLLING
POINT
liquid is converted to vapor form
CONDENSATON
gas to liquid
Boiling
form bubbles
equal vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure
evaporation
no bubble
vapor pressure less than atmospheric
Distillation
simple
fractional
steam
vacuum
simple distillation
method effective for mixture with different BP
fractional distillation
similar BP
water purification (acetore + water)
oil refineries
steam distillation
separate heat sensitive componds in a mixture
plant + oil extraction
vacuum distillation
very high BP
extraction of oil + fragranes
low applied pressure, low bp
Recrystallization
is a method of purifying non-volatile organic solids
Characteristics of a good recrystallization solvent:
Should not dissolve the substance to be purified at
room
temperature, but dissolve it well at the solvent's boiling point
Should dissolve soluble
impurities
well at room temperature
Should not dissolve insoluble impurities even at the solvent's boiling point, which can be removed by
gravity
filtration
Must
not
react with the substance to be purified
Should be
volatile
Should be
inexpensive
Common solvents used in recrystallization follow the principle of "
like dissolves like
"
Distillation
is a method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture
Boiling point
is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the pressure of the surrounding area
Types of distillation:
Simple Distillation
: effective for mixtures with considerably different boiling points (ideal minimum difference of 25°C)
Fractional Distillation
: used for mixtures of liquids with similar boiling points
Steam Distillation
: separates heat-sensitive components in a mixture, used for plant extraction and oil extraction from plants
Vacuum Distillation
: ideal for separating mixtures with very high boiling points by reducing pressure
Extraction process
involves the extraction of phytochemicals through solvent partitioning based on the polarity of solvents used
Common solvent combinations include:
Water
and
EtoAC
Water
and
DCM
Water
and
Hexane
MeOH
and
Hexane
