Describe the method of distillation for immiscible solution.

1 Answer

Answer :

Method of separation of two immiscible liquids.

• The apparatus consists of steam generator,still,condenser,and receiver. In steam distillation process, a current of steam is passed through a immiscible liquids in a still at boiling point of water.

• The mixed vapour from still (steam vapour& immiscible liquid) vapour are condensed & mixed distillate is collected. The distillate consists of water & immiscible liquid in suitable proportion

• The distillate can be collected in Florentine receiver for separation of oil & water.
