KJELDAHL DIGESTION CUM DISTILLATION ASSEMBLY UNIT WITH FUME HOOD
MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC
DESCRIPTION:
An instrument used in culinary, agricultural, and environmental testing that measures the nitrogen concentration of organic molecules is the Kjeldahl digesting cum distillation assembly unit with fume hood. The following explains its parts and operation:
DIGESTION APPARATUS:
This usually comprises of digestion tubes or round-bottom flasks with reflux condensers or digestion bulbs attached. These flasks are filled with the sample and an appropriate digestion reagent (such concentrated sulfuric acid). Digestion is the process by which organic substances are broken down and nitrogen is changed into ammonium sulfate.
DISTILLATION ASSEMBLY:
The ammonium sulfate solution is distilled to extract ammonia following digestion. Usually, the distillation assembly consists of three flasks: one for collecting the digested sample, one for distillation (which contains excess alkali, like sodium hydroxide), and one for condensing and cooling the distillate.
FUME HOOD:
A fume hood is necessary for safety while using the Kjeldahl procedure because it uses powerful acids and produces potentially hazardous gasses (like sulfur dioxide). Ventilation is provided by the fume hood to eliminate dangerous vapors and shield the operator from exposure.
CONDENSER:
The ammonia that has evaporated during the distillation process is cooled by the condenser, which causes it to condense back into liquid form. The nitrogen content of the original sample can then be ascertained by titrating the collected liquid ammonia.
Vacuum System (optional): Some setups may include a vacuum system to aid in the distillation process, especially if the samples have high boiling points or if a more efficient separation is desired.
