Mass Transfer - Engineering
Q1: Steam distillation is used for separation of high boilingA substances from non-volatile impurities.
B volatile impurity from still higher boiling substances.
C both (a) and (b).
D neither (a) nor (b).
ANS:C - both (a) and (b). Substances from Non-Volatile Impurities: In this scenario, steam distillation is employed to separate substances that are volatile (i.e., have a tendency to vaporize) from non-volatile impurities (i.e., substances that do not easily vaporize). For example, consider a mixture where a volatile compound, such as an essential oil or a flavoring agent, is contaminated with non-volatile impurities like salts or other solids. By subjecting the mixture to steam distillation, the volatile compound can be selectively vaporized and carried away by the steam, leaving behind the non-volatile impurities in the boiling flask or still. The distillate collected will contain the purified volatile compound, free from the non-volatile impurities.
