Soxhlet Apparatus

Soxhlet Apparatus is a piece of laboratory apparatus and contain 250 ml of flask volume.
It is originally designed for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material. It is used
when the desired compound has a limited solubility in a solvent, and the impurity is
insoluble in that solvent. It allows for unmonitored and unmanaged operation while efficiently
recycling a small amount of solvent to dissolve a larger amount of material.
