I understand the concept of the rotovap(I have learned a lot this past week, at least it feels that way), a Friderich condenser on a spinning bottle over a heating bath under vacuum(may be a bump guard in between). I got that it is used for gentle recovery and removal of solvents. So, questions...
1, Can it be used for other fractional distillation? Separating THC and CBD from extracts?
2, Can the receiver swapped with a peristaltic pump, would make taking fractions a lot easier? Also could be fed by another pump under vacuum. I guess many people had the same idea before, have you tried? What hose worked best?
3, What would happen if I put dry ground material in this above mentioned rotovap and fed hexane thru the pump, so like a combo solution(continuous extraction and separation, heating and cooling the boiling flask by a program), just brainstorming. Can be automatized easily if it works, I can do it. I know this wouldn't scale up well economically, but for my home use it would be perfect. Would it work?
4, What rotovap I should get? At reasonable price?
5, How do they crystallize THC-A in them?
6, What else one can use a rotovap for?
