Note: in step 11 and 17 we used normal filtration not vacuum filtration

Another trial for aspirin production(22/11/2022)

In order to avoid any obstructive problems that may appear in pilot plant scale production , we repeated this trial(same procedure).

The experiment shows that there is a need to increase the time of crystallization with mixing for about 20 min so that the yield increases

(in comparison with the last trial where the time of crystallization was 15 min without mixing).

Here are the results after drying, weighing and FeCl₃ testing :
