What kind of filter paper is used in sintered glass crucible?
Sintered glass crucibles typically use a type of filter paper known as "sintered glass filter discs" or "sintered glass filters." These filters are made from finely powdered glass that is sintered to form a porous structure, allowing for the filtration of fine particles while maintaining chemical resistance. They are commonly used in laboratory applications for filtration, drying, and other processes where durability and purity are essential.
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.
Why is a sintered glass funnel should be handled with tongs?
To avoid contamination, especially in chemical analysis.
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 can be used for filtration instead of glass funnel in Gravimetric Analysis?
In gravimetric analysis, alternatives to a glass funnel for filtration include filter paper and sintered glass funnels, which can effectively separate precipitates from the supernatant. Additionally, membrane filters made from materials like nylon or cellulose can be employed for fine particle retention. Vacuum filtration setups using Buchner funnels can also enhance the efficiency of the filtration process.
What is sintered glass and its porosity?
Sintered glass is a glass mesh used for filtration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact is preferable to filter paper. Its other advantage is that it is permanent so you can get various different pieces of glassware with sintered glass in it e.g. an enclosed filter suitable for filtration under nitrogen. As for the porosity.... Porosity of sintered glass is labelled by integers from 0-5 (viz. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) where 0 has a pore size of 160-250 micrometres and is considered course filtration, that is fluid will pass through it quickly and some finer solids will pass through. Whereas, porosity 5 has a pore size of 4-10 micrometers so even ultrafine solids will not pass through and liquids will drop through. I hope this is clear, makes sense and is helpful.
What pore size does porosity 4 sintered glass have?
Porosity 4 sintered glass typically has pore sizes ranging from 4 to 16 micrometers, with an average pore size of around 8 micrometers. The pore size distribution can vary depending on the specific manufacturing process and conditions used to produce the sintered glass material.

What sintered glass crucible made of?
Sintered glass crucible is a glass mesh used for filteration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact it is preferrable to filter paper. Sintered glass crucible must be cleaned then dried to constant weig befoe it can be used to filter out precipitates such as silver chloride.

What is porosity and pore size in glass?
No, glass is not porous
Examples of porosity?
Because of the gravity of the earth....
Is a glass an example of porosity?
yes.... it is an answer for porosity....

What type of filter papers used for viscous liquids?
For filtering viscous liquids, filter papers with a low porosity and high retention capacity are typically used. These papers can include materials such as glass microfiber filters or cellulose filter papers with a dense structure to effectively trap particles in the viscous liquid. It is important to select a filter paper that can withstand the thickness of the liquid without clogging or tearing.
