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

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.

  1. THE SOXHLET EXTRACTORContinuous extraction of a component from a solid mixture.Boiling solvent vapors rise up through the larger side-arm

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

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

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

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

  6. . . . and the cycle repeats . . .

  7. It should look something like THIS:(only much SLOWER)This program will re-start in one minute.To terminate,press Esc
