This video demonstrates the setup, operation, and applications of a Soxhlet extractor, focusing on extracting nicotine from tobacco using ethanol.
In this video we extract nicotine from tobacco using ethanol as the solvent, showcasing each step of the process. Key components include the Soxhlet extractor apparatus, available in different sizes and materials, and the characteristic siphon essential to its operation. We employ a reusable transparent glass sample holder with a glass frit filter for better visualization. Please click here more information about ultrasonically assisted Soxhlet extraction.
