Reduction of Water Waste in an Organic Chemistry Laboratory Using a Low-Cost Recirculation System for Condenser Apparatus
A low-cost and easy-to-use water recirculation system for a condenser apparatus was designed and installed in an organic chemistry teaching laboratory. Relying on gravity and a small pump for water circulation, it supplies four stations simultaneously. The water recirculation system works very well...

| description | A low-cost and easy-to-use water recirculation system for a condenser apparatus was designed and installed in an organic chemistry teaching laboratory. Relying on gravity and a small pump for water circulation, it supplies four stations simultaneously. The water recirculation system works very well with condensers used for distillation and reflux reactions, as well as with rotary evaporators. This innovative idea has led to an annual water savings of more than 14 400 L while running only 2 lab periods per week with up to 24 students per period. Its low cost and easy installation make it convenient and easily adoptable by any laboratory where the waste of water from condensers needs to be addressed, especially in places where water scarcity is already hindering such significant scientific activities. |
