Hello

i'n using ethanol in a 250mL Soxhlet extractor (so only filling the boiling flask with 150ml of solvent). I've found it takes about 10-15 minutes to run a cycle. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it buying a larger setup, as I want to be able to do roughly 12-15 cycles per day that I'm running the extractor. Does anyone know how long it would take to complete a cycle using a larger extractor? Say a 2000ml Soxhlet extractor?

Thank you

Michael Gries
