If water is used as one of the immiscible liquids the method is called steam distillation. It is also used for purifying liquids which decompose at their normal boiling points. Steam distillation is used for separating organic compounds from plant parts.
E.g. Lemon grass oil, Eucalyptus oil etc.
I hope your satisfied with the answer!
