    The Soxhlet extractor is a device used to continuously extract components from solid mixtures using boiling solvent vapors. It works by having condensed solvent drip into a porous cup containing the solid mixture, dissolving the desired component. When the cup is full, the solvent containing the dissolved component siphons into the boiler below to be evaporated and condensed again, repeating the extraction cycle until the desired component is fully removed from the solid mixture.

    THE SOXHLET EXTRACTOR Continuous extraction of a component from a solid mixture.

    Boiling solvent vapors rise up through the larger side-arm

    Condensed drops of solvent fall into the porous cup, dissolving out the desired component from a solid mixture

    When the smaller side-arm fills to overflowing, it initiates a siphoning action.

    The solvent, containing the dissolved component, is siphoned into the boiler below

    Residual solvent then drains out of the porous cup, as fresh solvent drops continue to fall into the porous cup.

    . . . and the cycle repeats . . .
