Abstract
A microwave distiller was developed for use in the analytical laboratory. The microwave distiller consists of a microwave system which has approximately 1400 Watts of input power and a distillation apparatus mounted above the microwave cavity. The microwave distiller was able to reduce the distillation time required for the distillation of citrus oil and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen by 20 and 9 fold, respectively.Keywords
