Sublimation Purification Simulator

Sublimation Purification

Separate volatile organic compounds from non-volatile impurities.

Apparatus & Mixture

Solid Mixture (Impure)

Iodine + Sand (Sublimes at ~114 °C) Naphthalene + NaCl (Sublimes at ~80 °C) Ammonium Chloride + Sand (Sublimes at ~340 °C)

Bunsen Burner Heat 0%

Increases temperature of the China dish.

Cotton Plug

Blocks vapor from escaping the funnel.

Live Telemetry

Dish Temp 25.0 °C

Pure Crystals 0.0%

Process Status Idle

Observation: Mixture is at room temperature. Solid is intact. Increase heat to reach the sublimation point.
