Laboratory scale gas scrubber for use in many air and exhaust cleanup tasks. Gas scrubbing takes place when the exhaust enters the inlet in the round bottom flask and travels upward through the absorption column. The scrubbing fluid is pumped from the round bottom flask upwards into the shower head adapter and then flows counter-current to the exhaust gas through the packed column thereby causing intensive contact between the two. Scrubber can be used by creating either a positive flow through the reaction vessel using a carrier such as nitrogen, or by connection of a vacuum source to the column adapter.
NOTE: The 20 Liter Scrubber can handle 25 Liters per minute with the CG-1171-50 supplied pump.
Complete scrubber consists of: lower reservoir, absorption column with glass-filled TFE packing support disc, glass raschig rings column packing material, exhaust gas outlet column, top shower head adapter, PTFE diaphragm liquid transfer pump, 3ea quick release column clamps, 3ea envelope style gaskets, fluid cooling condenser, gas inlet adapter, PTFE tubing and 5ea PFA compression fittings.
NOTE: STAND AND SUPPORT CLAMPS MUST BE ORDERED SEPARATELY.
