POROUS POT
Product Description
A Porous Pot is a cylindrical or tubular laboratory apparatus made from sintered or fired ceramic material that features a permeable structure allowing the passage of gases or liquids while retaining solids or particulates. This highly porous ceramic vessel is commonly used in laboratory and industrial settings for filtration, diffusion, and separation processes. The pot’s micro-porous walls facilitate controlled fluid flow, making it ideal for applications such as gas absorption, water softening, and chemical diffusion experiments. Porous Pots are chemically inert, mechanically stable, and resistant to high temperatures, making them durable tools in analytical and preparative laboratory procedures.
Primary Uses
Laboratory and Analytical Applications
- Used in gas absorption and diffusion experiments where controlled permeability is required.
- Acts as a filter medium for separation of suspended solids from liquids.
- Employed in water softening units for ion exchange processes.
- Utilized in chemical laboratories for controlled release or containment of reagents.
- Used in gravimetric analysis to contain precipitates while allowing fluid passage.
Secondary Uses
Industrial and Environmental Applications
- Applied in environmental labs for soil and water sample treatment.
- Used in industrial filtration and purification systems.
- Suitable for gas purification and catalytic reactors.
