Ace Glass 6846-50 Complete Extraction Apparatus for Liquid‑Liquid, Heavier‑ or Lighter‑than‑Water Solvent Extraction

A liquid-liquid extractor for use with lighter- or heavier-than-water extracting solvents. Overflow and boil-up tube uses Ace-Thred Connections, thus allowing easy removal for cleaning to reduce cross-contamination among samples. Joints are 45/50.

For Solvents Lighter Than Water

The glass dispersion tube adapter is inserted into the extractor body and the #25 Ace-Thred on the body and #7 Ace-Thred near the bottom are plugged. Solvent flask is heated and vapors rise to condenser thru glass elbow tube connected by two #25 threads. Condensed solvent fills adapter tube stem and is dispersed upward thru sample from capillary on bottom of stem, thereby increasing solvent surface-area-to-volume ratio. Solvent overflows thru PTFE tubing connected to #7 Ace-Thred on body top to flask.

For Solvents Heavier Than Water

The dispersion tube adapter is removed and the #7 thread near extractor body is plugged. Solvent is heated in flask, vapors rise thru glass elbow tube connected to #25 thread on flask and extractor body and liquefy in condenser. Solvent droplets pass down thru sample and return to flask via PTFE tube connected to #7 threads near body bottom and flask.

Complete item consists of Extractor Body (approx. 1300 ml capacity), Dispersion Tube Adapter, lighter-than-Water and Heavier-than-Water Elbow Tubes, PTFE Solvent Return Tube for Heavier- and lighter-than-Water, Flask, Condenser, (2) #25 Nylon Bushings with FETFE O-Rings, and one #7 Nylon Bushing with FETFE O-Ring.
