@@borttorbbq2556 I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about in all honesty. But in metal aerogel synthesis, particularly for battery electrodes, you want a gentle vacuum to remove the hexane solution, and also gently add methanol to dissolve any salts that are in the aerogel, particularly if it's a mixed aerogel like iron + copper or tungsten + molybdenum. You have to keep the vacuum power low so that the metal aerogel doesn't collapse in on itself, if your ideal product is a tablet. If it's okay to have a metal aerogel powder for your needs, then it's okay, ramp the vacuum. It should be noted that this whole process must take place in an anhydrous and anaerobic environment.

@@dayhaysuper3639 it's just an example. When you make metallic aerogels, you put on a gentle vacuum to help pull the solvent out. There's a paper on the process of making iron-copper nanoporous mixtures which illustrate the process clearly, if you wanted to see what I was talking about firsthand.

Your channel is amazing, you have a video on everything I need 🙏

I love you Dave! You have been an indescribably amazing help in my journey to become a biochemist or potentially biologist. I love science in ever form, and it all excites me, and I'm not entirely sure what I want to progress to and your tutorials on nearly all fields help me gain a grasp on all of them. It's all so awesome but I have to make a decision soon because I return to college soon. Also how is everyone not just blown away by the existence of the natural world and the fact that we know so much (and simultaneous next to nothing) about it.

Even thought chemistry isnt my favorite science, you make it interesting. I would love for every teacher to be like you!

I would imagine a funnel with a longer end protruding past the vacuum intake would prevent the vacuum from sucking up the filtrate. Seems like an important step.

animated videos are really so good

Thanks, Dave! I'd not done vacuum filtration at school.

Is there a specific lab kit that we can use to follow and perform along with the videos?

yep, been there, done that, gone big. IOW, i've worked with all kinds of filters, from laboratory scale as shown in the video to industrial filter presses, several meters long with dozens of big frames that are pressed together hydraulically.

So far I've only performed vacuum filtrations using a faucet, and in these cases we're always taught to, when we're done, first pull the hose out, and close the faucet only after that. Otherwise, some liquid might flow back to the flask due to the change in pressure. I'm not sure that's also the case with the device being shown here.

We always used to have a second flask in the vacuum line - this acted as a trap in case of "suck back" or overflow of the solvent into the pump (especially if you're using a mechanical pump - they don't like water inside!). I'm a bit surprised that water pumps are still used - lots of waste water and possible contamination problems...

It was really very nice

Filtração simples usada para separar misturas heterogêneas sólido+líquido usa a força gravitacional para remover as impurezas, queremos isolar (obter) o líquido filtrado passo a passo: dobramos o papel de filtro (podendo dubrá-lo em 1/4 ou 1/8, sendo o 1/8 uma técnica maia rápida) colocamos a argola no suporte universal e nela colocamos o filtro. Dentro do vidro, colocamos o papel de filtro, o qual molhamos com o mesmo líquido solvente da mistura para que ele adira ao vidro, sem deixar pontos secos ou bolhas garantimos que a mistura está "bem misturada" e despejamos ela lentamente no filtro notas: não tenha pressa! a mistura não pode passar da altura do papel de filtro, pois pode contaminar o líquido filtrado deixe o funil próximo do frasco coletor e com sua ponta tocando as paredes internas do recipiente (para que o líquido filtrado não goteje) para garantir que toda mistura foi separada, lavamos o recipiente em que estava a mistura com o solvente dela, para extrair os restos de soluto Filtração à Vácuo destinada para grandes volumes de mistura, por ser mais rápida obtenção do sólido (e também do liquido, mas o sólido é o principal) usamos um kitassato conectado à uma bomba à vácuo, pois a pressão causada pela remoção do ar puxa o líquido através do filtro, acelerando o processo usamos também um funil de buchner, o qual cobrimos com um papel de filtro (que deve ter exatamente o tamanho do funil, sem sobrar nem deixar de cobrir os buraquinhos) aperte o funil contra o kitassato para garantir a pressão adequada para que o papel adira ao funil, molhe-o com o solvente da mistura teste o funcionamento do sistema despeje sua mistura no filtro deixe a bomba ligada por um tempinho para "secar" o sólido obtido remova o papel de filtro com uma pinça notas: não deixe o vácuo muito intenso, isso pode rasgar o papel de filtro e resultar em contaminação não faça com que o líquido no kitassato atinja a parte em que o frasco é conectado com a bomba, ou o líquido será sugado pela máquina

@@CyberMew That depends on the level of cleanliness your experiment needs. For the vast majority of all cases, you can rinse out the flask's volume three times with clean water. Let's say when you dump out a 1000 mL flask down the sink, and there's still about 10 mL's of soapy water clinging to the sides that you can't get out. Well when you fill that up with the first volume, you've diluted that soapy water 100 times (10 mL soapy water in 990 mL clean water). Then you dump that out again, with 10 mL remaining. Fill it up again, you've diluted that 100 times. Do it a third time. By now the little bit of soapiness after your wash has been diluted 1,000,000 times. So that's clean enough that it won't interfere with just about anything. That said, there are a few ultrasensitive measurements where it could, so you'll need a better cleaning protocol, but that would usually just involve many more washings with clean solvent.

@@CyberMew it depends on the experiment with most experiments the little bit of residue from water and soaked typically won't be enough to actually mess anything up but there are very sensitive experiments that would require basically perfectly clean and usually with those you'll have specialized equipment for that like Sonic cleaners which if I understand correctly use a special solution and vibration to pretty much perfectly clean everything and then from there you can just set it on a rack let it dry and it's good you may need a rinse it with some distilled water or ro water. Again just depends on how much Purity is necessary RO water is pretty much as pure as you can get without going through distillation processes

I mean you're not wrong. I mean to do a good pour over you know you need a precise temperature of water you need a precise grind the coffee and when it comes to filtration if all of these factors are not correct it can either take a very very long time to make your coffee or it just runs through and you basically end up with Bean water. But his description of how to do gravity filtration is exactly how you do a proper pour over you bring it up to being just a little hello rim and then you let it mostly filter through and then you top it up as you go you don't let it fully filter through until you're done otherwise you're going to run into problems but you also want to be careful as no one wants ground in their coffee. No if you're using an electric machine then you know you're cheating but essentially it's doing all of that for you except for the grind that one you still need to select one and Electric machines actually use a different Grind from Standard Pour overs

Really a missed opportunity to have chemistry youtubers do these demos. Probably not as professional looking though.
