Describe the method of distillation for immiscible solution.
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.
