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.
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 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. Dropping funnels are useful for adding reagents slowly, i.e. drop-wise.
A Büchner funnel with a sintered glass disc. 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
The solution is poured through a piece of filter paper folded into a cone in a glass funnel. Solids (or flocs) remain on the filter paper while the filtered solution is caught by a flask under the funnel. [6] If a large volume of solution is filtered, the filter paper will need to be changed in order to prevent clogging. [7]

Photograph of a separatory funnel in a laboratory scale extraction of 2 immiscible liquids: liquids are a diethyl ether upper phase, and a lower aqueous phase. Soxhlet extractor. Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution ...
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 ...
