Abstract

The commonly used steam distillation apparatus contains two parts. In one part the steam is generated while in the other part the compound/material is distilled. Both parts are heated separately. This apparatus is complicated and difficult to handle. In view of this, a very compact steam distillation apparatus is designed and reported in this paper. In this apparatus both of the above parts have been arranged into a single compact assembly with single heating.
