phenol crystals stuck in container !? how should i take them out ?
help!! i bought a bottle of phenol crystals and apparently its frozen in place as a iant chunk.....i am unable to remove the crystals from the container ..the main problem is that its mouth is very small and i cant even leave the mouth open as it fumes.
i would work under the fume hood, and try to get something into the container to smash them, such as a scoopula, mortar, spatula, etc. just be really careful not to contaminate the crystals or get any on your skin.

if all else fails, put the container in a water bath on a hotplate in the fume hood, and try melting them.

hope it helps!

p.s. if you don't have a fume hood, i advise not working with phenol.
it sounds like your auger is jammed. pull out the ice bin a nf see if you can turn it by hand. if not, dump all the ice out and what doesn't come out, melt it with hot water. you probably have ice that melted together which is jamming the auger or an ice cube is in the perfect spot to jam the auger. hey there! as answered previously:-
crystallization is the process of slow precipitation of solid
crystals of a substance from a concentrated homogeneous solution it
is basically a separation method in which a substance is
transferred from the liquid (i e solution) phase to the solid state
the substance is thus obtained in pure crystalline form and has no
impurity it is used by chemists for the purification of solid
substances
following is an example of using crystallization to obtain pure
copper sulphate from an impure sample
1) take a small amount (5 g) of an impure sample of copper
sulphate in a china dish
2) dissolve the sample in 10 ml of water (we basically have to
use minimum amount of water in order to prepare a saturated
solution)
3) then, filter it to remove impurities
4) evaporate the filtrate on a water bath till small crystals
are formed indicating that a concentrated solution has been
obtained
5) after this, cover the solution with a filter paper and leave
it undisturbed at room temperature for the rest of the day

it will be observed that crystals of pure copper sulphate are
obtained and the impurities are left behind in the solution i normally keep it in until it is completely flacit and wants to fall out on its own. can't speak for anyone else. td, i’m not sure exactly what it is. it sounds like it might be lipomas, but it’s difficult to say without being able to examine you. if they are lipomas, the only way to remove them will be surgery. the best would be to see your doctor and have a proper diagnosis made. good luck. if you are sure a tampon is still there, you need to see an gynecologist immediately and have it removed! see more... Hi my name is Keith from kl window doctor. All upvc should have a drainage holes face drained or concealed underneath and sometimes they get blocked which means you have to take each unit out and pour water out of a small jug into the drain holes at the bottom and you should see the water come out underneath if the source of infection is not adequately removed, then the incision may continue to discharge. new fistulas may form since you may have a propensity for infection in the area. there are conditions that make the area prone to fistulas such as crohns' disease. see more... i believe it helps dissolve ur ate crystals and often recommend warm water soaks for gout in the feet. Is there any method or ways you can tell me to recover my files.. please!! : (( it matters a lot... you have to have freon added by a shop, i tried adding freon and it didnt work for me it has to be done by a special machine
