    ≤ 37% hydrochloric acid (HCl) ≤ 51% hydrofluoric acid (HF) DANGER! The DST-1000 is not approved for use with any other material. Using the DST-1000 with any other material may result in personal injury or property damage. Please observe all appropriate regulations published by government agencies, professional associations, chemical manufacturers and other regulating bodies when working with chemicals.

  • Page 5: Safety Shut-Off

    Ensure the system is in a properly functioning controlled environment (e.g. fume hood). Acid vapor is emitted from the DST-1000 during use. The Unit Employs High Voltage! The DST-1000 must be connected to a grounded conductor. Connect the power cord of the control box to a grounded power source. Chemical Hazard! Chemical hazards associated with the connections, tubing and containers are identical to those noted above.

  • Page 7: About The Dst-1000 Acid Purification System

    Fig.1 3.2 Description The DST-1000 is intended for purification of reagent grade acids or water. The main sections of the still are the reservoir and condenser which are molded from PFA. PFA construction minimizes the contamination potential from extractable compounds and also allows for distillation of hydrofluoric acid. Note: THE STILL ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE OPENED.

    Note: The DST-1000 was shipped with PFA cap plugs on the (1) DISTILLATE port and (1) TEE FITTING DRAIN port. The top vent on the still condenser was also fitted with a 25 mm PTFE filter membrane. Confirm that all of these components are in place.

  • Page 10: Preparation For Use

    The DST-1000 power control unit is intended for installation outside the fume hood, with the 3 meter power cable passing through a designated port in the hood to the heating jacket connection.

  • Page 11: Installation

    See section 4.1 Recommended Environment. a) Lay the DST-1000 unit on its side and screw the (4) base legs onto the bottom plate. Stand the unit upright.
  • Page 12 Insert one end of the tubing into the remaining opening in the tee fitting in the bottom of the fill tube assembly (It should be facing away from the DST-1000 unit), slide the ferrule nut up to the fitting and finger tighten. Pull slightly on the tubing to make sure the tubing will not accidentally pull out during use.

    Turn the control knob to the OFF position and allow the DST-1000 to cool Drain the contents of the unit by opening the stopcock drain valve and directing the contents into an appropriate waste container.

  • Page 16: Operation

    The DST-1000 will produce a reliable supply of highly purified acid once the cleaning operation has been completed. To achieve the highest level of purity, Savillex recommends using the still for only one type of acid. DANGER! NEVER MIX CHEMICALS WITHIN THE STILL a) Replace the top vent fitting with a fresh 25 mm filter membrane.

    Replace the threaded cap on the fill tube and hand-tighten 5.2 Turn the Power ON a) The DST-1000 is now ready for distillation. Turn the control knob to the desired setting. Approximate distillation rates for water are listed below: 80°C (176°F) to 90°C (194°F) 50 mL/hr 70°C (158°F) to 80°C (176°F)

  • Page 18: Refilling

    5.3 Refilling a) Monitor acid level in the reservoir during operation using the graduation marks on the fill tube. The DST-1000 may produce up to 50 mL per hour varying with the type of starting material and environmental temperature. b) Remove the threaded cap from the graduated filling tube Remove the threaded cap from graduated filling tube slowly to alleviate any internal pressure that may have occurred during distillation process.

  • Page 19: Maintenance, Troubleshooting And Service

    The DST-1000 requires little maintenance to provide a reliable means of producing highly purified acid on a regular basis. The few simple tasks listed below will keep the unit maintained and ensure that the DST-1000 is ready for the next distillation.
  • Page 20 Plug all ports for unit storage or transfer The wetted parts of the DST-1000 are manufactured of 100% PFA which is highly chemical resistant. The support stand of the still is manufactured of polypropylene, which may stain or become slightly discolored upon contact with acid.
