Description
This PYREX cyanide distilling apparatus is used in testing for soluble and insoluble cyanides in water. Cyanide as hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is released from cyanide complexes by means of a reflux-distillation and absorbed in a scrubber containing a sodium hydroxide solution. Tygon tubing connects the reaction/distillation section to the absorption scrubber making set-up easier and less susceptible to glass breakage. Inlet tubes have funnel openings for easy addition of acid.
Apparatus meets the requirements of E.P.A. SW-846 methods 9010 and 9012, and ASTM method D-2036.
Designed for sample size of 500mL.
