\"\"How It Works<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A Soxhlet Extractor is used to remove a material from a solid. It is useful when removing materials that do not dissolve well in any solvent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Soxhlet extractor applies the solvent repeatedly to the solid until enough of the material dissolves.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Soxhlet Extractor has three main sections:<\/span>
\nA flask, an extraction chamber, and a condenser.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this\u00a0 extraction process, the solvent inside the boiling flask is evaporated and re-condensed in the distillation column above. It then falls down onto the solid material requiring extraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chamber containing the solid material is connected to the boiling flask below, by a syphoning mechanism which allows the chamber to fill to a point, at which it will empty its contents and start to fill again and the extracted compounds will accumulate in the boiling flask.<\/span><\/p>\n
