A selection of the most common extraction techniques are listed in Table 1. Each of the techniques will then be discussed, detailing what is involved to set up the equipment, the advantages and disadvantages as well as some of the limitations of each technique. The primary aim of any extractable study is the acceptance or rejection of a given material. The acceptance or rejection can only be achieved with knowledge. This can be achieved by a number of ways, including; understanding of the materials likely composition, manufacturers information and the definitive testing. In all aspects of extractable testing it is important to remember that the extraction is not so vigorous as to deform or degrade the material which would likely produce extractables that will not be observed as leachables. Extractables are potential leachables, it is the leachables that the patient is exposed to and are of toxicological concern.

  • Improved Automatic Steam Distillation Combined with Oscillation-Type
    Lachenmeier et al. SpringerPlus (2015) 4:783 DOI 10.1186/s40064-015-1574-6 METHODOLOGY Open Access Improved automatic steam distillation combined with oscillation‑type densimetry for determining alcoholic strength in spirits and liqueurs Dirk W. Lachenmeier1* , Leander Plato1, Manuela Suessmann1, Matthew Di Carmine2, Bjoern Krueger3, Armin Kukuck3 and Markus Kranz3 Abstract The determination of the alcoholic strength in spirits and liqueurs is required to control the labelling of alcoholic bev- erages. The reference methodology prescribes a distillation step followed by densimetric measurement. The classic distillation using a Vigreux rectifying column and a West condenser is time consuming and error-prone, especially for liqueurs that may have problems with entrainment and charring. For this reason, this methodology suggests the use of an automated steam distillation device as alternative. The novel instrument comprises an increased steam power, a redesigned geometry of the condenser and a larger cooling coil with controllable flow, compared to previously available devices. Method optimization applying D-optimal and central composite designs showed significant influ- ence of sample volume, distillation time and coolant flow, while other investigated parameters such as steam power, receiver volume, or the use of pipettes or flasks for sample measurement did not significantly influence the results. The method validation was conducted using the following settings: steam power 70 %, sample volume 25 mL trans- ferred using pipettes, receiver volume 50 mL, coolant flow 7 L/min, and distillation time as long as possible just below the calibration mark. For four different liqueurs covering the typical range of these products between 15 and 35 % vol, the method showed an adequate precision, with relative standard deviations below 0.4 % (intraday) and below 0.6 % (interday).

  • Hardwood-Distillation Industry
    HARDWOOD-DISTILLATION INDUSTRY No. 738 Revised February 1956 41. /0111111 110 111111111111111111 t I 1, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE MADISON 5, WISCONSIN. In Cooperation with the University of Wisconsin 1 HARDWOOD-DISTILLATION INDUSTRY— By EDWARD BEGLINGER, Chemical Engineer 2 Forest Products Laboratory, — Forest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture The major portion of wood distillation products in the United States is obtained from forest and mill residues, chiefly beech, birch, maple, oak, and ash. Marketing of the natural byproducts recovered has been concerned traditionally with outlets for acetic acid, methanol, and charcoal. Large and lower cost production of acetic acid and methanol from other sources has severely curtailed markets formerly available to the distillation in- dustry, and has in turn created operational conditions generally unfavor- able to many of the smaller and more marginal plants. Increased demand for charcoal, which is recovered in the largest amount as a plant product, now provides a compensating factor for more favorable plant operation. The present hardwood-distillation industry includes six byproduct-recovery plants. With the exception of one smaller plant manufacturing primarily a specialty product, all have modern facilities for direct byproduct re- covery. Changing economic conditions during the past 25 years, including such factors as progressively increasing raw material, equipment, and labor costs, and lack of adequate markets for methanol and acetic acid, have caused the number of plants to be reduced from about 50 in the mid- thirties to the 6 now operating. In addition to this group, a few oven plants formerly practicing full recovery have retained the carbonizing equipment and produce only charcoal.

  • ( 463 ) XXXII. on the Products of the Destructive Distillation of Animal
    ( 463 ) XXXII. On the Products of the Destructive Distillation of Animal Substances. Part I. By THOMAS ANDERSON, Esq., M.D. (Read 3d April 1848.) In April 1846, I communicated to the Royal Society a paper on a new organic base, to which I gave the name of Picoline, and which occurs in coal-tar, asso- ciated with the Pyrrol, Kyanol, and Leukol of RUNGE. In that paper I pointed out that the properties of picoline resembled, in many respects, those of a base which UNVERDORBEN had previously extracted from DIPPEL'S animal oil, and described under the name of Odorine; and more especially mentioned their solubility in water, and property of forming crystallisable salts with chloride of gold, as cha- racters in which these substances approximated very closely to one another. And further, I detailed a few experiments on the odorine of UNVEBDORBEN extracted from DIPPEL'S oil, with the view of ascertaining whether or not they were ac- tually identical, but on too small a scale to admit of a definite solution of the question. These observations, coupled with the doubts which had been expressed by some chemists, and more especially by REICHENBACH, as to the existence of the bases described by UNVERDORBEN, induced me to take up the whole subject of the pro- ducts of the destructive distillation of animal substances, which has not yet been investigated in a manner suited to the requirements of modern chemistry. In fact, UNVERDORBEN is the only person who has examined them at all, and his experiments, contained in the 8th and 11th volumes of POGGENDORF'S Annalen, constitute the whole amount of our knowledge on the subject; and his observa- tions, though valuable, and containing perhaps as much as could easily be deter- mined at the time he wrote, are crude and imperfect, when we come to compare them with those which the present state of the science demands.
