Premium, Medium Duty Steam Extraction Carpet Cleaner... 

Hydrotrope and detergent for highly alkaline, acidic, or high electrolyte and bleach containing solutions. Low, fast breaking foam with moderate wetting. Used in acid cleaners and is excellent for carpet steam extraction cleaners and automatic liquid dishwash. 

This extractor continuously cycles the sample steam distillate through an immiscible lighter-than-water solvent such as hexane. Routinely, large volumes of sample (4000 mL) can be distilled/extracted in a 5 mL volume of solvent. Emulsions and interferences that are commonly observed in an extraction are reduced or eliminated entirely. Normally, species that can be steam distilled can also be gas-chromatographed. This results in a cleaner extract and reduces the build-up of residue in the injector of the gas chromatograph. A prediction of whether or not a particular compound will steam strip from water can be made on the basis of its relative volatiUty to water ... 

Steam distillation A Bleidner apparatus can be used for the extraction of aromatic amines. In this system, a continuous steam distillation or continuous LLE is carried out and good recoveries are obtained (over 90%). The extraction solvent is isooctane and the extraction time is 2-3 h the technique is not laborious. Steam distillation extraction can be used quantitatively for different types of organic substances at microgram per liter to nanogram per liter levels. Good results can be obtained within 20 min. Steam distillation results in a cleaner extract and reduces the build-up of residue at the GC column. The small volumes of solvent normally used in steam distillation techniques facilitate solvent concentration and minimize interferences due to solvent impurities.
