Soxhlet extraction

[@eastindiaV]

Franz von Soxhlet invented this in 1879... apparently without the ability to use borosilicate which wasn't invented until 1893 by Otto Schott. I wonder if they worked together before a patent was formed Or the Soxhlet guy was a superhuman, I've blown boro and soft glass and you just couldn't make something intricate like that and have it be durable without a better type of glass.

This video was recommended in my 11 chemistry book.

thank you. i bought a soxhlet extractor and it just arrived.

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

I saw you just purchased a Soxhlet extractor? So did I. Sadly, mine came from China. It’s missing parts and came with zero instructions. Can you tell me how to determine the correct size thimble so I can order one? Thank you so much.

@@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786 ask for a replacement

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

I am a mushroom enthusiast. I like to make a tincture. I Purchase Soxhlet extractor off the Internet with no prior knowledge. I didn’t realize it was coming from China. It arrived with no instructions whatsoever. I can’t even use it because the plug doesn’t match my American outlet! I’m trying to figure out what size thimble I need to get as well. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

I need one of these badly.

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Can you please tell me how to get the correct size thimble? I’m not sure how to determine it! To tell you the truth, I ordered a Soxhlet kit off the Internet, not knowing it was coming from China. It arrived with no instructions, missing a couple pieces, and with a cord I cannot plug-in! I’m going to buy a new heating element, but I still don’t understand how to figure the size of thimble required. Thank you so much.

What is used as soxhlet reagent for detection of residual sugar in fruit wine?

[@thecozyconstellation]

is it correct to say that in a basic way, it's like steam distillation with a continuous circulation?

[@TheEinharjar]

I would not believe so since the whole point is that you're able to use a small amount of solvent to distill a targeted group of molecules (by selecting solvent), usually a non volatile. In steam distillation you extract a volatile from other non volatile. So it's fair to say that they have pretty different use cases.
