Extraction efficiency

Extraction efficiency refers to how effectively a process retrieves a desired substance from a mixture or material. It measures the proportion of the target component that is successfully separated and collected compared to the total amount present initially. Higher efficiency means more of the wanted substance is recovered, making the process more effective and cost-efficient. Factors influencing extraction efficiency include the method used, duration, temperature, and the solvents or tools involved. Ultimately, it reflects the effectiveness of the extraction process in obtaining the maximum amount of the target component.
