A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a kind of ambient air gas burner used as laboratory equipment; it produces a single open gas flame, and is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.
Robert Bunsen invented the now-famous Bunsen burner in 1855, which was useful in flame tests due to its non-luminous flame that did not disrupt the colors emitted by the test materials. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] The Bunsen burner , combined with a prism (filtering the color interference of contaminants ), led to the creation of the spectroscope , capable of ...
Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen (German:; 30 March 1811 [a] – 16 August 1899) was a German chemist.He investigated emission spectra of heated elements, and discovered caesium (in 1860) and rubidium (in 1861) with the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff. [11]
A pipeclay triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is used to support a crucible being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source. It is made of wires strung in an equilateral triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic, normally fire clay, tubes. The triangle is usually supported on a tripod or iron ring.
Bunsen burner or spirit lamps or candles: source of fire / heat Ultracentrifuge: used to separate particles dispersed in a liquid according to their molecular mass: Electrophoresis apparatus: used to detect and classify serum proteins or proteins from any other source; also used for DNA separation Chromatography:
The first gas heater made use of the same principles as the Bunsen burner. Beginning in 1881, the burner's flame was used to heat a structure made of asbestos, a design patented by Sigismund Leoni, a British engineer. Later, fire clay replaced the asbestos because it is easier to mold.
A variety of Bunsen burner flames. Bunsen burners may be adjusted from a highly luminous flame (left) to a hotter 'roaring blue flame' (right) One of the most familiar instances of a luminous flame is produced by a Bunsen burner. This burner has a controllable air supply and a constant gas jet: when the air supply is reduced, a highly luminous ...
The burner was introduced by French chemist Georges Méker in an article published in 1905. [1] The Méker burner heating power can be around 3.6 kW using liquefied petroleum gas. [2] Flame temperatures of up to 1,100–1,200 °C (2,000–2,200 °F) are achievable.
