PYREX® Cyanide Distillation Apparatus

PYREX® cyanide distillation apparatus is ideal for detection of soluble and insoluble cyanides in water. Hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is released from cyanide compounds by through reflux distillation and is absorbed in a scrubber containing a solution of sodium hydroxide. Chemically inert PTFE tubing connects the reaction/distillation section with the absorption scrubber which delivers a set-up that is simple 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.
