Benzoic Acid: Sublimed from Gum Benzoin into a Paper Cone at 170 °C (Mohr, after Thorpe 1912)

Gum benzoin, the fragrant resin of Styrax trees, holds benzoic acid that rises as a vapour when gently heated. Mohr's way lets it pass through filter paper into a paper cone, where it settles as crystals. Result: colourless crystals of benzoic acid smelling slightly of vanilla, about 4 % of the gum. Source: Thorpe, Dictionary of Applied Chemistry, vol. 1 (1912), Benzoic acid (Mohr, Annalen 29, 177). Picture drawn by Youblob.

Paste filter paper over it and tie on a paper cone

Paste filter paper over the mouth of the vessel. Over it place a large conical cap of strong paper that fits the vessel exactly, and tie it round the rim.

Heat gently on a sand bath at about 170 °C

Heat gently over a sand bath at about 170 °C. The benzoic acid sublimes through the filter paper and collects as crystals inside the cone. A pound of acid takes three to four hours.

Take the crystals out of the cone

At the end, remove the colourless crystals from the paper cone. The yield is about 4 % of the gum. Ours: keep them in a closed jar.
