Continuous Extraction

Continuous extraction is a process used in chemistry and manufacturing to selectively separate and remove a specific compound from a mixture over an extended period. Instead of stopping to extract all at once, the mixture continuously flows through mechanisms like solvent contact or filtration. The target compound dissolves into the solvent or is separated as the mixture moves through the system, allowing for efficient and steady collection of the desired substance. This method is often used for large-scale production, improving efficiency, consistency, and reducing downtime compared to single, batch extractions.
