IG Fractionating Column - Vigreux - 19/26

This Vigreux-style fractionating column with 19/26 joints is used in distillation setups for separating liquid mixtures with close boiling points. The internal indentations increase surface area and improve the efficiency of condensation and vaporisation cycles, resulting in better component separation.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances understanding of fractional distillation techniques.
• Encourages development of accurate experimental setup skills.
• Demonstrates separation based on boiling point differences.

Classroom Ideas:

• Integrate into fractional distillation of alcohol-water mixtures.
• Compare with simple distillation to discuss efficiency.
• Use to explain industrial separation processes like petroleum refining.

Specifications:

• Type: Vigreux fractionating column
• Joint size: 19/26
• Features: Internal indentations for increased efficiency
