Glass funnels are used to separate solids from liquids by filtration; also they are used to pour liquids or fine powders.

What is a filter and how is it used?

It is a glass funnel into which can be placed a circle of folded filter paper (so that it too is the shape of the funnel) liquids may then be poured into the funnel and while the liquids will drain through (to be collected at the base of the funnel), any solids will be retained on the paper.


Why was glass placed in the filter funnel?

Glass is placed in the filter funnel to create a fritted glass filter bed. This helps to separate the solid particles from the liquid in the filtration process, allowing the liquid to pass through while retaining the solid material. The fritted glass filter bed provides a uniform porous surface for more efficient filtration.


What is a Hirsch Funnel and how are they used?

They are used for vacuum filtration to separate crystals, or solids, from a liquid. Usually a neoprene adapter is used to fit the funnel to a flask that is attached to some sort of vacuum. A filter paper is used to make sure no solids get through, or clog, the funnel. Typically, it is advised, that hot solutions are not used in vacuum filtration because the reduced pressure will cause solvents to evaporate, and the solid will precipitate out; causing the funnel, and pores of the filter paper, to clog.


What is a Elmen funnel?

An Elmen funnel is a type of glass funnel with a wide, conical shape and a short stem. It is commonly used in laboratories for separating liquids or to transfer liquids between containers. The wide shape allows for easy pouring and minimizes spillage.


What is a sintered funnel?

A sinterd funnel is simply a funnel with a built in filter. The filter is sintered, I think that this means that small particles are compressed together (and heated ?) to form a single piece of material with many small holes. The sintered funnels I use are made of glass, a link to some images is below (not mine). http://curlyarrow.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-clean-your-sintered-funnel.html I have also used sintered polyethylene and sintered stainless steel for filtering.


What is the difference between Hirsch funnel and Buchner funnel?

A Hirsch funnel is cylindrical and typically used for vacuum filtration of small volumes with the help of filter paper. A Buchner funnel is a flat-bottomed funnel with a porous porcelain or glass disc used for vacuum filtration of larger volumes, sometimes without the need for filter paper.
