A multi-pass distillation system has a boiling flask with a side exit portal which is functionally connected to a condenser, which is, in turn, functionally connected to one or more cold traps. The condenser condenses wet vapors into liquid while the cold traps protect a pump which is used to suction the air through the system from the boiling flask through the condenser and cold traps. In this manner, one can more accurately collect fractions by way of a sideways exit from the boiling flask, near the top of the flask, with a condenser extending into a body of the spherical flask, such as at a 45 degree angle.

A distillation system used for a distillation process including a distillation chamber having a curved and contoured body, a tube for continuous filling of a liquid solution to be distilled, and a drain hole in a bottom of the body configured for removal of concentrated semi-solid contaminants, and multiple layers of sheets of a flexible material. As designed the curved and contoured body shape of the distillation chamber coupled to the cooled surface (near a point of vapors condensation) creates negative pressure that drives the distillation process and the negative pressure built into the distillation system facilitates and increases distillation and evaporation rates.

An apparatus for reversing flow of partially evaporated maple syrup in at least one evaporating pan includes a transfer line having an inlet for connected to a heating and pan for receiving partially evaporated maple syrup from the heating pan. A first sub-line extends from the transfer line and can connect to a first port of the evaporating pan(s). A second sub-line extends from the transfer line and can connected to a second port of the evaporating pan(s). A first outlet line extends from the transfer line or the first sub-line. A second outlet line extends from the transfer line or the second sub-line. When the first and second sub-lines are connected to the first and second ports respectively, the transfer line is positioned at a height no higher than the heights of the first and second ports. The first and second outlet lines are positioned at a height no higher than the transfer line. When fluid exits the evaporating pan(s) via the first or second ports, the fluid reaches the first or second outlet lines prior to reaching the transfer line.

Integrated rotary evaporator apparatuses are provided. Such rotary evaporators include a vertically oriented evaporator for evaporating a sample to form a sample evaporate, a mixing apparatus for mixing the sample in the evaporator, a condenser for condensing the evaporated sample into a condensate, a collection vessel for collecting the condensate, a vacuum pump to create a vacuum in the evaporator, and a refrigeration system integrated into the condenser, where all components are integrated into a single apparatus. Standalone large-scale chillers for cooling a liquid, vapor or other medium are also provided. Such chillers include a heat exchanger or evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, and a temperature controller, all integrated into a single standalone chiller usable with any vessel or reservoir containing liquids, vapors or other medium from which heat is to be removed. Methods of using such devices to distill, evaporate and/or cool a sample or medium are provided.

Processes for removing carbon disulfide from product streams containing a sulfide compound are performed by contacting the product stream with an alkanolamine and converting the carbon disulfide to a higher boiling point product, thereby reducing or eliminating carbon disulfide from the product stream. Subsequent removal of the higher boiling point product via distillation can lead to a purified sulfide stream with high purity.
