MATERIALS
2-250 ml beaker
Condenser
Soxhlet extractor
Stirring rod
2-250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks
Electric stove
Wire gauze
Rubber tube
Iron stand
Iron clamp
Iron ring
Florence flask
Mortar and pestle
SOLVENT:
PURE ACETONE
METHOD:
SOXHLET EXTRACTION
DISCUSSION
The source material containing the compound to be extracted is placed inside the
thimble.
1. The thimble is loaded into the main chamber of the Soxhlet extractor.
2. The extraction solvent to be used is placed in a distillation flask.
3. The flask is placed on the heating element.
4. The Soxhlet extractor is placed atop the flask.
5. A reflux condenser is placed atop the extractor.
A Soxhlet extractor works by boiling a solution that has a solute of limited solubility in
a percolator, then cooling and collecting the condensate in a reservoir from which the
concentrated solute can be extracted. A siphon connecting the percolator to the reservoir
flushes excess solvent back into the reservoir.
