Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A procedure was developed for evaluating the efficiency of substance purification by vacuum distillation with vapor dephlegmation in a heated condenser. A technology and apparatus are proposed for obtaining high-purity potassium by this method. The potassium quality is assessed using a set of chemical and physical techniques.
