    This document summarizes a student's research activity on steam distillation. It was conducted on October 7, 2016 at New Era University for a BSCE-1 course. The student learned that steam distillation is used to purify liquids that are not very volatile or miscible with water, especially for isolating essential oils from plants. It can also be used to separate intermediate products during organic synthesis. The student found the distillation setup complex at first but realized difficulty is relative to one's experience level.

    Steam Distillation is the distillation of a liquid in a current of steam, used


    especially to purify liquids that are not very volatile and are immiscible with
    water. It is a special type of distillation for temperature sensitive materials
    like natural aromatic compounds.

    It is used in the isolation of essential oils, for use in perfumes, for example.
    In this method, steam is passed through the plant material containing the
    desired oils. Steam distillation is also sometimes used to separate
    intermediate or final products during the synthesis of complex organic
    compounds.
    Steam distillation also is an important means of separating fatty acids from
    mixtures and for treating crude products such as tall oils to extract and
    separate fatty acids, soaps and other commercially valuable organic
    compounds

    REACTION:
    I learned a lot about distillation in this research. I found out about simple,
    fractional, and steam distillation and their differences and how they can
    be applied to separate certain mixtures. The set-up looks complicated
    but difficulty is a matter of perspective. A professional will think a certain
    task that another person thinks is hard to be trivial.
