Solid-Liquid Extraction

Solid-liquid extraction is a process used to separate desired substances from a solid material using a liquid solvent. The solid is immersed or mixed with the liquid, which dissolves specific components based on their solubility. After sufficient contact, the liquid, now containing the extracted compounds, is separated from the solid. This method is commonly used in industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, and natural products to isolate active ingredients, flavors, or valuable compounds efficiently and selectively.
