Extraction (chemistry)

Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting in the separation of a substance from a matrix. It includes Liquid-liquid extraction, and Solid phase extraction. The distribution of a solute between two phases is an equilibrium condition described by partition theory. This is based on exactly how the analyte move from the water into an organic layer.

Types of extraction

There exist several types of extraction, including: liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, Chemically Active (acid-base) extraction

Components of an extractive process

Extractions often use two immiscible phases to separate a solute from one phase into the other. Typical lab extractions are of organic compounds out of an aqueous phase and into an organic phase. Common extractants are arranged from ethyl acetate to water (ethyl acetate < acetone < ethanol < methanol < acetone:water (7:3) < ethanol:water (8:2) < methanol:water (8:2) < water) in increasing order of polarity according to the Hildebrand solubility parameter. The extract can be put back to dried form using a centrifugal evaporator or a freeze-drier.

Modern variations and Applications

Techniques include supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, ultrasonic extraction, heat reflux extraction, mechanochemical-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, instant controlled pressure drop extraction (DIC), and perstraction.

Boiling tea leaves in water extracts the tannins, theobromine, and caffeine out of the leaves and into the water. Solid-liquid extractions at laboratory scales can use Soxhlet extractors (such as oil from olive cake see at right).
