Heating Equipment

Many precipitates can be weighed directly after being brought to constant mass in a low-temperature drying oven. Such an oven is electrically heated and capable of maintaining a constant temperature to within 1°C (or better). The maximum attainable temperature ranges from 140°C to 260°C, depending on make and model.

For many precipitates, 110°C is a satisfactory drying temperature. The efficiency of a drying oven is greatly increased by the forced circulation of air. The passage of predried air through an oven designed to operate under a partial vacuum represents an additional improvement.

Microwave laboratory ovens are currently quite popular, and where applicable, they greatly shorten drying cycles. For example, slurry samples that require 12 to 16 hours for drying in a conventional oven are reported to be dried within 5 to 6 minutes in a microwave oven. The time needed to dry silver chloride, calcium oxalate, and barium sulfate precipitates for gravimetric analysis is also shortened significantly. An ordinary heat lamp can be used to dry a precipitate that has been collected on ashless paper and to char the paper as well. The process is conveniently completed by ignition at an elevated temperature in a muffle furnace. Burners are convenient sources of intense heat. The maximum attainable temperature depends on the design of the burner and the combustion properties of the fuel. Of the three common laboratory burners, the Meker burner provides the highest temperatures, followed by the Tirrill and Bunsen types. A heavy-duty electric furnace (muffle furnace) is capable of maintaining controlled temperatures of 1100°C or higher. Long-handled tongs and heat-resistant gloves are needed for protection when transferring objects to or from such a furnace.
