Description:
Steam distilled water is purified water obtained through the process of steam distillation, which involves boiling water to produce steam and then condensing the steam back into liquid form. This method effectively removes impurities, including minerals, organic compounds, and contaminants, resulting in high-purity water suitable for various applications.
Specifications:
- Purity Level: Typically 99.9% pure
- pH Level: Neutral (around 7.0)
- Conductivity: Very low (often < 1 µS/cm)
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Typically < 10 ppm
- Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
- Odor: Odorless
Composition:
Steam distilled water primarily consists of H₂O (water), with negligible amounts of dissolved gases or impurities. Since the distillation process removes most dissolved solids, the composition is effectively pure water.
Applications and Uses:
-
Laboratories
- Used in analytical chemistry, microbiology, and other scientific research to ensure accurate results without interference from impurities.
-
Pharmaceuticals
- Essential in the formulation of medications and as a solvent for drug preparation to ensure the absence of contaminants.
-
Medical Use
- Used in sterilization processes, autoclaves, and in medical devices where purity is critical.
-
