Size and purpose are the primary distinctions between a Hirsch funnel and a Buchner funnel. For bigger amounts of liquid and solids, a Buchner funnel is utilised due to its size. For lower liquid amounts, usually 1–10 mL, a Hirsch funnel is utilized. Vacuum filtration uses both to separate liquids from solids.
The main functions of a Hirsch funnel are to separate solids from liquids and filter out tiny particles from a liquid or slurry, particularly in synthetic organic chemistry. In order to collect the solid precipitate and collect the filtrate (liquid) in a filter flask, it uses vacuum filtration to pull liquid through a filter paper.
It is true that filter paper is necessary for a Hirsch funnel to filter efficiently. The filter paper is positioned on the funnel's perforated plate to separate liquids from solids.
Hirsch funnels have a smaller surface area of the plate holding the filter plate and are available in smaller sizes than Buchner funnels. When using a Hirsch funnel for small-scale filtering, there is naturally less loss.
