Laboratory Mortar And Pestle

Mortar and Pestle in the Laboratory

In solid-state chemistry, mortars and pestles are used to prepare reactants for a solid-state synthesis (ceramic method). They reduce the particle size of compounds prior to reaction.

Mortars and pestles are used to grind solid chemicals into a fine powder and to break solids into smaller pieces. The interior of the mortar is unglazed to improve grinding efficiency. The edges include integrated spouts.

The mortar is a bowl typically manufactured from hardwood, ceramic or stone. The pestle is a heavy, blunt, club-shaped tool used for crushing and grinding. The substance is placed in the mortar and then crushed, ground or mixed with the pestle.

Mortars and pestles are available in various shapes and sizes. There are three types of mortar and pestle sets designed for different applications: those made of aluminium oxide, those made of zirconium dioxide and those made of agate.
