Title: Condensing MeAm vapours thru liquid nitrogen
Post by: scram on September 25, 2002, 06:22:00 PM

I know this may sound wacked but its just an idea I was thinking about. Would the temp difference be too much as to create a violent boiling of the liquid nitrogen making it too dangerous. It would be nice to collect and sieve off frozen MeAm crystals for later storage.

Title: Of course it could be done.

Of course it could be done. But only if you are experienced using (l)N2. The boiling should not be too violent at all. Don´t lead gaseous MeAm into the (l)N2. Instead use use a cooling bath with the nitrogen to cool a flask which you lead dried MeAm into. This will make it easier to weigh your amine since you don´t need to scoop it up from liquid nitrogen with a spoon.
