Subject: RE: [DCHAS-L] Questions out of my realm
It's been a long while, but...
I think ether should be heated with steam or with a heat source where
the
ignition source (thermostat, switches) is remote from the ether
(outside of
the hood) like a heating mantel with external controls. With a hot
plate,
the ignition source is directly in contact with the ether fumes,
making a
fire quite possible.
Reminds me of a certain professor who regularly smoked in the lab while
doing extractions with ether. He was always careful to point the
separatory
funnel away from his cigarette when venting. Luckily, he never had a
fire...
