Anyone willing to trade?

TheChemINC - 19-10-2012 at 20:46

Hello,

I have a 24/40 400mm graham condenser that i would like to trade for a 24/40 300mm+ leibig condenser. I will also include an adapter for the condenser. U2U me if interested!

I will also sell if interested. $55.00 for the condenser and the adapter.

(ps- i have only used the condenser once and it is very clean. no chips, cracks, or anything!)

thanks,
Alex

I don't get it?
Why would anyone want to swap the efficiency of a graham for the short vapour-path of a liebig?

strange, as you say his is longer and more efficient. maybe for a very small scale distillation?
can you please tell us?

Personally I don't like Graham condenser, we only use it for absolutizing/redistilling solvents.

A Liebig is not so efficient that's true, but it is easier to clean and if you distill something what could crystallize in the condenser then a liebig is the best (e.g: at vacuum distillation).

basically what kistofvgyok said..... a leibig would be alot easier to clean and i dont like having the apparatus set up so high either. I would just rather have a leibig instead of a graham condenser.

So are any of you intersested?

i think you would be better off cleaning it really well and selling it as new on ebay. a graham is worth a lot more than a liebig! that way you have some extra money to spend on glass :)

i think i might. i want to get the leibig and some things from doctor bob. I need more glassware!

Thanks, we're seeing our liebigs in a new light ─ you'll need to up the offer? :D

haha yeah... i think a package deal with the condenser and the adapter is plenty. I spent about $75.00 on both and i have only used it once.

As said earlier, ebaying it would seem your best recourse . . .

TheChemINC - 21-10-2012 at 10:53

yeah i think i am going to go with that

Is there somewhere trade subtopic for trades in Europe? (can be in different domain .. forum(s)). I'm mostly interested in used items. Also I can get quite cheaply different chemicals, but this is only suitable for european (EU) users as shipping to overseas can be very expensive even inside the EU can cost a lot, but I don't have any experiences selling or trading chemicals. I actually planning to start a small chemical wholesale or possible retail company - all references to this material are welcome; who are running chemical companies here and where this kind of general talk is discussed. to get some capital to start producing some pain medicines from non opium containing poppies(as opium poppies needs fences and cameras everywhere) to get thebaine (or it can be first imported) and/or expensive reagent chemicals. To start with something like this needs a lot of money and investments and know-how plus licenses and other paper work.

what do you want? I live in Belgium and might be able to sell you a few things.
