A prototype device for evaporation in batch and flow chemical processes

We report a convenient and efficient prototype device for evaporating, concentrating and switching solvents in continuous flow and batch processing and batch mode fashion. One of the main features of this system is the level of recyclability, whereby all solvents removed can be easily collected and reused, with reduced environmental impact.
