Soxhlet extractor is a laboratory apparatus designed to extract substances with a low solubility in the extracting solvent.It designed with a Siphon to continuously extract the solid matter by pure solvent.The extraction thimble will be placed inside the extractor tube to contain the solid material which will be extracted repeatedly by the condensed extraction solvent
This soxhlet extractor is the key component of a soxhlet solvent extraction apparatus.The lower 24/40 standard taper male joint is attached to the flat bottom flask ,the upper 55/50 standard female joint connects a large size allihn condenser which is used as a reflux condenser.A small size extraction thimble with fritted disc will be placed inside the extractor chamber.With siphon tube to control the liquid level for solvent reflux and higher extraction efficiency
