Percolators
Simple percolation:
It involves 5 steps
1. Powdering of the drug
2. Imbibition of the drug with a little menstruum for 4 hours
3. Packing up to 2/3rd capacity of the percolator
4. Maceration: Sufficient menstrum is added allowed to saturate the
drug. When the drops start to come down through the nozzle, the
nozzle is closed and the moistened drug allowed to stand for 24
hours.
5. Percolation: The percolate is collected drop wise. The process is
continued till complete extraction has taken place.
Reserved percolation:
Here 3/4th of the percolate is collected and
reserved .
The final 1/4th of the percolate is then collected,
evaporated to syrupy
consistency and added to the reserved 3/4th
portion of the percolate.
Advantage:
Can be used to prepare concentrated liquid
extracts.
Modified Percolation process:
Simple Complex
