Vacuum filtration refers to the process of extracting solid products from a liquid reaction mixture or a solvent. The mixture of the liquid and solid is poured through a Buchner funnel‘s filter paper. The filter traps the solid and finally the liquid flows through the funnel into a flask. Some of the things needed to prepare for vacuum filtration include, filter flask, filter paper, clean solvent, disposable dropper, tubing and your sample. Vacuum filtration is usually much faster than the simple gravity filtration. However, a number of considerations need to be made before beginning the process. First, because reduced pressure is used in the process, a lot of attention has...
