Leaching with fresh solvent cycled multiple times through a fine solid sample contained in a porous thimble.
Notes:
- A typical apparatus for classical Soxhlet extraction is shown in the figure below.
- The extraction solvent is cycled in a continuous-discrete process by distillation, condensation and siphoning. Extracted material accumulates in the distillation flask.
