Solid-State Extractions

Illustration showing four possible mechanisms for the solid-state extraction of an analyte: (a) adsorption onto a solid substrate; (b) absorption into a thin polymer film or chemical film coated on a solid […]

Purge-And-Trap Extraction

Schematic diagram of a purge-and-trap system for extracting volatile analytes. The purge gas releases the analytes, which subsequently collect in the primary adsorbent trap. The secondary adsorption trap is monitored for evidence […]

Soxhlet Extraction

In a Soxhlet extraction, the extracting solvent is placed in the lower reservoir and heated to its boiling point. Solvent in the vapor phase moves upwards through the tube on the far […]

Solid-Phase Extraction

In a solid-phase extraction of a liquid sample, we pass the sample through a cartridge containing a solid adsorbent. A typical separation is illustrated here. Before adding the sample, the solid phase cartridge […]

Liquid-Liquid Extraction

Illustration showing a liquid–liquid extraction using a separatory funnel: (a) before the extraction, 100% of the analyte is in phase 1; (b) after the extraction, most of the analyte is in phase […]
