Dry Box References

Dry Box Construction

Johnson,Rowland

J. Chem. Educ.
1957, Vol.34(2), p.80
DOI: 10.1021/ed034p80
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed034p80

Abstract

Describes the design, construction, and operating characteristics of a laboratory dry box.



Dry Box Technique

Tyree,S

J.Chem.Educ.
1954, Vol.31(11), p.603
DOI: 10.1021/ed031p603
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed031p603

Abstract

Provides a design and describes the use of a dry box for the sampling of easily hydrolyzed materials.



An Inexpensive Dry-Box

Weyland,Herman;Schwartz,Donald

J. Chem. Educ.
1960, Vol.37(10),  p.536
DOI: 10.1021/ed037p536
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed037p536

Abstract

A discarded soda cooler is modified to serve as an inexpensive yet effective dry-box.



Controlled Atmosphere Chamber

Gordon,Charles;Johannesen,Rolf

J.Res. Nat.B. Stats. A: Phys. Chem.
Vol.67A(3) 1963 pp.269-271
http://nvl.nist.gov/pub/nistpubs/jres/067/3/V67.N03.A10.pdf

Abstract

Many chemical compounds must be kept under an inert atmosphere while being transferred or sampled. Descriptions of a number of different inertatmosphere
transfer chambers or so-called dry-boxes have been published. These can be classed in three types. The simplest is the inexpensive transfer chamber maintaining protection from the ordinary atmosphere by a continuous flow of an appropriate inert gas. Suitably equipped plastic bags [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]/ a section of pipe [6], the open bell jar [7], a reaction vessel [8] and a refrigerator shell [9] are of this type.

Glove-Box Design & Operation

An Improved Glove-Box with High Purity Atmosphere

Gardner,H

J. Physics E: Sci. Instrum.
Vol.3(7) 1970 pp.569-570
DOI: 10.1088/0022-3735/3/7/430
http://iopscience.iop.org/0022-3735/3/7/430

Abstract

Modifications and performance are given for a glove box with high purity atmosphere by absorption of H2O, O2, N2  and other impurities.



The Construction of the UCSC Econo-Box: An Inexpensive Yet Effective Glove Box

Suri,Jeff

J. Chem. Educ.
Vol.78(11) 2001 pp.1513-1515
DOI: 10.1021/ed078p1513
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed078p1513

Abstract

An inexpensive, acrylic dry (glove) box has been fabricated and utilized in the handling of water- and air-sensitive materials. Working drawings are provided and a complete layout of material costs is presented. The box was experimentally determined to be moisture-free for three days and critically oxygen-free for 20 minutes under an inert gas atmosphere.



A System for Cooling Inside a Glove Box

Sanz,Martial

J. Chem. Educ.
Vol.87(8.) 2010 pp.854-855
DOI: 10.1021/ed100261k
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed100261k

Abstract

An easy, efficient, reliable, and low-cost method of constructing a cooling system using a simple circulating pump is described. The system is employed in conjunction with an inert atmosphere glove box to achieve the synthesis of air- and moisture-sensitive compounds inside the glove box at controlled, low temperatures without contaminating the glovebox purification system. The system can also be used in an inert atmosphere glovebag.



A Glovebox Design Checklist

Frigo,Arthur

Technical Paper,
9th Annual Conference & Equipment Exhibit (1995)
American Glovebox Society

A glovebox design checklist has been developed at Argonne National Laboratory. It provides engineers with a list of items that should be considered when designing a glovebox. Major elements included in the checklist are the glovebox shell, appurtenances, glovebox supports and stands, special shielding, instrumentation, fire protection, windows, atmosphere, human factors, material handling, vessels, furnaces, electrical needs, cooling and heating, piping, testing, installation, safety, decommissioning, and quality assurance.



A Glove Box System for the Manipulation of Air Sensitive Compounds

Ashby,E;Schwartz,R

J.Chem.Educ.
Vol.51(1) 1974 p.65
DOI: 10.1021/ed051p65
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed051p65

Abstract

The authors examined several glove boxes and recirculating systems and have arrived at what they believe to be an excellent glove box system for handling air sensitive compounds.



A Glove Box and Drying System for the Manipulation of Moisture Sensitive Materials

Dryburgh,P

J. Sci. Instrum.
Vol.44(8.) 1967 p.658-660
DOI: 10.1088/0950-7671/44/8/428
http://iopscience.iop.org/0950-7671/44/8/428

Abstract

This note describes a system for the provision of a working 'atmosphere' in a commercially available glove-box. Air is pumped out of the box, chilled, passed through a column of cooled molecular sieve, and returned to the box. The air-lock of the box can be treated separately allowing the removal and introduction of equipment while maintaining dry conditions in the main compartment. Pressure in the box is controlled by foot switches operating electromagnetic valves. A device for the measurement of frost-point is described by means of which it has been shown that the frost-point of the air in the box is less than -90'C, corresponding to a moisture content of 10-4mg L-1 (approximately 0.1 p.p.m.). Transfer of items from the laboratory to the working chamber is simple and rapid, the airlock
requiring about 15 minutes for operation.
