Why steam is used as boiling source in steam distillation?
Otherwise it wouldn't be a STEAM destillation, would it?
Difference between steam and water vapor?
In hydro distillation, water is added with raw plant material and boiled to give steam. In steam distillation, steam is passed through a chamber that contains raw materials. In hydro distillation, an hydro machine is used to capture the stream which is further condensed. Whereas the steam is condensed by flowing into a chilled condensed chamber.
What are the contributions of Ibn-e-Sina in chemistry?
Ibn-i-Sina is credited with the discovery of steam distillation.
Why distillation is not used often for cleaning water?
Because when water is distilled it losses all the essentials salts and minerals.
Why do you need water for distillation?
Water is needed for distillation to control the amount of alcohol and to produce steam. Much of the water is boiled off during the process but the remaining percentage dictates the proof.
How does a steam distillation sloping splash head work?
There is a steam distillation but no sloping splash head?
How can you separate esssential oil from oranges?
steam distillation is one method available that can be conducted on a small scale, this is how euganol is extracted from whole cloves.
Why the distillate from steam distillation was turbid?
Steam distillation is used to separate immiscible (normally organic) liquids from each other. Adding the steam, depresses the boiling point of the mixture. After condensation, the compound separated may also contain condensed water. Since the compound separated in this way is normally insoluble in water, the turbidity results.
When is steam distillation used?
Steam distillation is specifically used for temperature sensitive materials such as natural aromatic compounds. When you add steam it allows them to evaporate at lower temperatures.

What does a steam distillation sloping splash head look like?
Type, 'Steam Distillation Sloping Splash-head' into Google and hey presto, lot's of links.
Could you compare and contrast simple from steam distillation in terms of type of mixtures separated?
Simple and steam distillation are similar in that they use boiling to separate organic components. Simple distillation boils them off at their boiling points, then condenses them. Steam distillation uses water mixed with the compounds to lower their boiling points and avoid decomposing them by heat.
How do you extract isoamyl acetate from banana?
Steam distillation
Why would the steam distillation of a mixture of vanillin and eugenol result in the distillation of eugenol only?
Because is and esential oil and these are not soluble on water and volatile enough to be distilled by steam, when you use steam distillation you do the extraction step and the purification step in one technique.
Can steam Distillation remove Pharmaceuticals from water?
Careful distillation, that produces pure water, removes all impurities.
What is steam distillation and why is it a preferred technique to purify high boiling liquids that are water insoluble?
steam distillation is an effective way to separate slightly volatile water insolube substance from nonvolatile material
How do you obtain citral from lemon grass?
You can obtain via steam distillation.
