The rotovap solvent recovery process involves using a rotary evaporator, commonly known as a rotovap, to remove and recover solvents from liquid samples through evaporation under reduced pressure.
This method is particularly effective for recovering solvents like ethanol after extraction or winterization processes.
The rotovap operates by rotating a flask containing the solvent-sample mixture in a heated water bath.
This rotation increases the surface area and promotes even heating and evaporation.
The vapors travel through a chilled condenser where they recondense into a liquid form.
This liquid is then collected for reuse.
The use of vacuum in the system allows for lower evaporation temperatures.
This reduces the risk of overheating the sample and enhances the efficiency of the solvent recovery.
This technique is widely used in various scientific fields for concentrating and purifying substances.
