(2013·南京高三二次模拟)(12分)目前市场上大量矿泉水、食用油等产品包装瓶几乎都是用PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯，简称聚酯)制作的。利用废聚酯饮料瓶制备对苯二甲酸的反应原理如下：
实验过程如下：
步骤1：在100mL四颈瓶上分别装置冷凝管、搅拌器和温度计。依次加入5g废饮料瓶碎片、0.05g氧化锌、5g碳酸氢钠和25mL乙二醇。缓慢搅拌，油浴加热，升温到180℃，反应15min。
步骤2：冷却至160℃停止搅拌，将搅拌回流装置改成搅拌、减压蒸馏装置，减压蒸馏。
步骤3：向四颈瓶中加入50mL沸水，搅拌使残留物溶解。抽滤除去少量不溶物。
步骤4：将滤液转移到400mL烧杯中，用25mL水荡洗滤瓶并倒入烧杯中，再添加水使溶液总体积达200mL，加入沸石，将烧杯置于石棉网上加热煮沸。
步骤5：取下烧杯，取出沸石后趁热边搅拌边用8～10mL11HCl酸化，酸化结束，体系呈白色浆糊状。
步骤6：冷至室温后再用冰水冷却。抽滤，滤饼用蒸馏水洗涤数次至滤出液pH＝6，抽干后再用10mL丙酮分2次洗涤，抽干，干燥。
(1)步骤1反应过程中的现象是______________________。
(2)步骤2是为了分离出________。
(3)步骤3抽滤需要用到的主要仪器有__________________。
(4)步骤4加沸石的目的是__________________________。
(5)步骤5用盐酸酸化的目的是_______________________。
(6)步骤6用丙酮洗涤的目的是_______________________。
