pound). Open Stopcock 9 (or 2 and 3) and allow the compound with the highest vapor pressure to freeze out.

9.After a sufficient amount of time has elapsed, open the stopcocks to the successive traps in similar succession.

10.Once the material in the holding trap has successfully passed into the other traps, close all stopcocks. Then, transfer the purified materials, one by one (from the lowest vapor pressure to the highest), back into containers such as those that originally held the mixed compound.

7.4.6Liquid Traps

The most efficient way to prevent the liquid from an oil or mercury pressure gauge or bubbler from spilling into the rest of your vacuum system is to place a liquid trap between the liquid container and the vacuum system. The liquid trap design is fairly straightforward (see Fig. 7.36), and the installation of one is strongly recommended.

The beauty of liquid traps is that once in place they require no further oversight, care, or maintenance. Once you have seen the damages caused by a manometer or a McLeod gauge that has "burped," you understand the value of liquid traps. However, the value of liquid traps can be overemphasized, and they should not be used as panaceas for clumsy vacuum work. They will not stop all the mercury (or other fluids) that are being battered around within a system, so do not depend on liquid traps to make up for carelessness.

In this trap, fluids travel the easier route of the side arm (rather than the constricted center tube) and splash into the pear-shaped flask. From there they pour back into the container from where they originally came.

Fig. 7.36 Two liquid trap designs.

In this design, fluids are splashed against the inside wall where they can flow back into the tube from the hole on the side of the lower tube.
