An improvement of the apparatus for semimicro steam distillation

Abstract

An improved apparatus for semimicro steam distillation of ammonia and other volatile substances is described.
It is the characteristics of the apparatus that both sample-distilling vessel and drain-exhaust cylinder are installed inside the steam-generating flask. In this way, heating the sample-distilling vessel and keeping it warm are simultaneously achieved, and removal of the sample solution after distillation is found to be easy and rapid.
