A funnel for hot filtration Two funnels, A - a simple stemmed funnel. B - a ground glass powder funnel. Plain funnels exist in various dimensions, with longer or shorter necks. Filter funnels have a neck of a thin capillary tube and ribs which increase the filter-papers' effectiveness and thus accelerate the process of filtering. [1]
A filter funnel is a laboratory funnel used for separating solids from liquids via the laboratory process of filtering. [1] In order to achieve this, a cone-like shaped piece of filter paper is usually folded into a cone and placed within the funnel. The suspension of solid and liquid is then poured through the funnel.
An ordinary dropping funnel lacks the pressure-equalizing glass tube at the right side. A dropping funnel or addition funnel is a type of laboratory glassware used to transfer liquids . They are fitted with a stopcock which allows the flow to be controlled.
The tap-controlled outlet is designed to drain the liquid out of the funnel. On top of the funnel there is a standard taper joint which fits with a ground glass or Teflon stopper. [4] To use a separating funnel, the two phases and the mixture to be separated in solution are added through the top with the stopcock at the bottom closed.
A Büchner funnel is a piece of laboratory equipment used in filtration. [1] It is traditionally made of porcelain , but glass and plastic funnels are also available. On top of the funnel-shaped part there is a cylinder with a fritted glass disc/perforated plate separating it from the funnel.

Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution ...
Recrystallization: In analytical and synthetic chemistry work, purchased reagents of doubtful purity may be recrystallised, e.g. dissolved in a very pure solvent, and then crystallized, and the crystals recovered, in order to improve and/or verify their purity.
A typical kitchen funnel A ceramic Roman kitchen funnel (1st–3rd century AD) A funnel is a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening. [1] [2] Funnels are usually made of stainless steel, aluminium, glass, or plastic. The material used in its construction should be ...
