Acacia soxhlet extraction
- Thread starter fabio88ct
- Start date
I could see the reasoning behind using a soxhlet for the extraction of polyphenols/phenolic compounds, but there's no advantage to using one for the extraction of alkaloids. lyse, acid-base chemistry.
no.
soxhlet is solid-liquid. CLLE is entirely different, something i'd like to acquire as I don't have an app for it.
most are set up for use with haloforms, since they are heavier than water..it's rare to find a lighter-than-water setup.

Boundary condition
or get a gregar extractor.

I saw one the other day that was designed much like a soxhlet , it had a collection tube that allowed for light phase extraction.
What I do personally when pulling into a light phase solvent, is I'll pour my light phase solvent into a glass burette with somenglass beads. Then drip the heavy phase down into it, often tying a hand warmer around the upper portion of thensolvent.
I'll allow the heavy phase to build up and open the stopcock so that the addition/sep funnel and burret release the heavy phase at an equal rate.
Works alright.
nice. how much?
the cheapest i've seen is ~$549 , and that doesn't include the aux. condenser.

sell 'em and get a sonicator 
a sonicator?
that bad boy will reduce extraction times 9-fold, at least.
i prefer to use that over the soxhlet, no question.
sonicate a dilute acidic sol'n, vac filter, basify, extract, and rotavap. all that can be accomplished within an hour.

So I can just sonicate a citric acid mixture, vac filter into a sep funnel (I have a jointed filter) , basify with alkaline solution, mix in my solvent, dump the bottom / chloro layer, rotovap, extract with dilute heptane, clean with a tiny amount of AC, filter, centrifuge, reduce solvent volume/warm it, and cool slowly..
I should have a brilliant field of clear needlepoints within hours :3!
Having the right tools for the job rocks
!
yep, sure does.
indeed.
yes.

There is one advantage I see using a soxhlet, and that is for an acid/water boil. It has the benefit of separating you bark from the liquid, simplifying the filtration part of the process. But soxhlet money would be better spent on a vac filtration/sep funnel setup.
