First you set the Soxhlet extractors up on individual heating mantles or baths. Next, tubing is individually attached to each of the condensers. There are dozens of tubes to deal with, and multiple heating mantles to monitor. The problem with this arrangement is that in the end, you have spent more time assembling and monitoring your apparatuses than performing the actual chemistry. To conserve valuable bench space, all samples are arranged in a circle and the instrument rotates allowing each sample to be accessed from the front. Individual condensers are connected to the centrally located water manifold through quick disconnect fittings. -

Analytica Chimica Acta 369 (1998) 1±10 Soxhlet extraction of solid materials: an outdated technique with a promising innovative future M.D. Luque de Castro*, L.E. GarcõÂa-Ayuso Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of CoÂrdoba, E-14004 CoÂrdoba, Spain Received 8 December 1997; received in revised form 23 March 1998; accepted 30 March 1998 Abstract An overview of the evolution of Soxhlet extraction of solid materials and its comparison with the performance of other conventional and new extraction techniques is presented. First, a discussion on both conventional Soxhlet as compared with other conventional extraction techniques and some minor improvements of the former for speci®c applications is done. Secondly, a critical comparison of conventional Soxhlet with the new extraction techniques such as supercritical ¯uid extraction, microwave-assisted processes and microwave-assisted solvent extraction shows the reasons why major, recent improvements of this technique (namely Soxtec1 System HT, Soxwave-100 and focused microwave-assisted Soxhlet extraction) have been proposed, aimed at overcoming most of the shortcomings of conventional Soxhlet and converting it into an updated tool for leaching which competes advantageously with the most recent alternatives in the extraction ®eld. # 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Minimum Reflux in Liquid–Liquid Extraction
17th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering – ESCAPE17 V. Plesu and P.S. Agachi (Editors) © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 1 Minimum Reflux in Liquid–Liquid Extraction Santanu Bandyopadhyaya and Calin-Cristian Cormosb aEnergy Systems Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400 076, India, E-mail: [email protected] bDepartment of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University "Babeş-Bolyai", Arany Janos 11, Cluj-Napoca 400028, Romania, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In a simple countercurrent arrangement of different stages of liquid–liquid extraction operation, the richest extract leaving the operation is in equilibrium with the feed. However, by using reflux it is possible to enrich the extract further. A simple counter current liquid–liquid extraction operation with reflux is analogous in its essentials to distillation. In this paper, the method based on Invariant Rectifying-Stripping (IRS) curves, originally proposed to calculate minimum reflux and minimum energy requirement in distillation, has been extended to liquid–liquid extraction. The equivalent IRS curves for a ternary liquid–liquid extraction predicts the feed location in the counter current process. It also predicts the minimum reflux requirement for a given separation and minimum amount of solvent required. Keywords: liquid extraction, IRS curves, feed location, minimum solvent. 1. Introduction Liquid–liquid extraction is a separation process that takes advantage of the distribution of a substance between two insoluble liquids phases [1]. Feed to be separated is mixed with extracting solvent to produce a solvent-rich phase, called extract, and a solvent-lean phase, called raffinate. -

Separation consists in condensing the less volatile phase and to recover the condensate while simulta- neously, the non-condensable species are recuperated at the top of the system.

Building a Home Distillation Apparatus
BUILDING A HOME DISTILLATION APPARATUS A Step by Step Guide Building a Home Distillation Apparatus i BUILDING A HOME DISTILLATION APPARATUS Foreword The pages that follow contain a step-by-step guide to building a relatively sophisticated distillation apparatus from commonly available materials, using simple tools, and at a cost of under $100 USD. The information contained on this site is directed at anyone who may want to know more about the subject: students, hobbyists, tinkers, pure water enthusiasts, survivors, the curious, and perhaps even amateur wine and beer makers. Designing and building this apparatus is the only subject of this manual. You will find that it confines itself solely to those areas. It does not enter into the domains of fermentation, recipes for making mash, beer, wine or any other spirits. These areas are covered in detail in other readily available books and numerous web sites. The site contains two separate design plans for the stills. And while both can be used for a number of distillation tasks, it should be recognized that their designs have been optimized for the task of separating ethyl alcohol from a water-based mixture. Having said that, remember that the real purpose of this site is to educate and inform those of you who are interested in this subject. It is not to be construed in any fashion as an encouragement to break the law. If you believe the law is incorrect, please take the time to contact your representatives in government, cast your vote at the polls, write newsletters to the media, and in general, try to make the changes in a legal and democratic manner. -

Batch Distillation of Spirits: Experimental Study and Simulation
Research article Received: 5 April 2018 Revised: 11 January 2019 Accepted: 15 January 2019 Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI 10.1002/jib.560 Batch distillation of spirits: experimental study and simulation of the behaviour of volatile aroma compounds Adrien Douady,1 Cristian Puentes,1 Pierre Awad1,2 and Martine Esteban-Decloux1* This paper focuses on the behaviour of volatile compounds during batch distillation of wine or low wine, in traditional Charentais copper stills, heated with a direct open flame at laboratory (600 L) and industrial (2500 L) scale. Sixty-nine volatile compounds plus ethanol were analysed during the low wine distillation in the 600 L alembic still. Forty-four were quantified and classified according to their concentration profile in the distillate over time and compared with previous studies. Based on the online re- cording of volume flow, density and temperature of the distillate with a Coriolis flowmeter, distillation was simulated with ProSim® BatchColumn software. Twenty-six volatile compounds were taken into account, using the coefficients of the ‘Non- Random Two Liquids’ model. The concentration profiles of 18 compounds were accurately represented, with slight differences in the maximum concentration for seven species together with a single compound that was poorly represented. The distribution of the volatile compounds in the four distillate fractions (heads, heart, seconds and tails) was well estimated by simulation. Fi- nally, data from wine and low wine distillations in the large-scale alembic still (2500 L) were correctly simulated, suggesting that it was possible to adjust the simulation parameters with the Coriolis flowmeter recording and represent the concentration pro- files of most of the quantifiable volatile compounds. -
Soxhlet Extraction Classic Fat Determination with Soxhlet Extraction After Hydrolysis
Soxhlet extraction Classic fat determination with Soxhlet extraction after hydrolysis Hydrolysis principle This acid digestion process dissolves both "free fats" as well as "bound fats" from the overall fat content. The fat is frequently naturally enclosed in the cell matrix of the food or fodder or chemically bound. In these cases, a hydrolysis step before extraction completely releases the fat.

Minimum Reflux Ratio
Chapter 4 Total Reflux and Minimum Reflux Ratio a. Total Reflux . In design problems, the desired separation is specified and a column is designed to achieve this separation. In addition to the column pressure, feed conditions, and reflux temperature, four additional variables must be specified. Specified Variables Designer Calculates Case A D, B: distillate and bottoms flow rates 1. xD QR, QC: heating and cooling loads 2. xB N: number of stages, Nfeed : optimum feed plate 3. External reflux ratio L0/D DC: column diameter 4. Use optimum feed plate xD, xB = mole fraction of more volatile component A in distillate and bottoms, respectively The number of theoretical stages depends on the reflux ratio R = L0/D. As R increases, the products from the column will reduce. There will be fewer equilibrium stages needed since the operating line will be further away from the equilibrium curve. The upper limit of the reflux ratio is total reflux, or R = ∞. The rectifying operating line is given as R 1 yn+1 = xn + xD R +1 R +1 When R = ∞, the slop of this line becomes 1 and the operating lines of both sections of the column coincide with the 45 o line. In practice the total reflux condition can be achieved by reducing the flow rates of all the feed and the products to zero. The number of trays required for the specified separation is the minimum which can be obtained by stepping off the trays from the distillate to the bottoms. Figure 4.4-8 Minimum numbers of trays at total reflux.
