Salim Y Hanna

Hi Din,

Yes you can use it if you are extracting the same compounds, from same starting materials. Otherwise you need to purify the solvent then reuse it.

Zia-ud- Din

Thank you Salim Y Hanna for your feedback. I really appreciate this :)

Jagadevappa S Patil

Soxhlet is such an extraction method which allow us to recover the costly solvents, and as Mr. Salim explained we can reuse it.

Thank you Sir Patel for your kind response. I really appreciate this
