Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Marc Tugaoen‚ Kristine Vanzuela‚ Rafael Villanueva‚ Justeen Wong Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment has been divided into 4 set-ups‚ first was the solid-liquid extraction‚ next was the liquid-liquid extraction‚ then the sublimation and last was the melting point determination. The solid-liquid and liquid-liquid extraction were both done during the first meeting‚ the DCM layer was filtered and

Separating Acids and Neutral Compounds by Solvent Extraction Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to use solvent extraction techniques in order to separate a mixture consisting of a carboxylic acid (p-toulic acid)‚ a phenol (p-tert-butylphenol)‚ and a neutral compound (acetanilide). Extraction is the process of selectively dissolving one or more of the compounds of a mixture into an appropriate solvent‚ the solution that contains these dissolved compounds is called an extract (Manion

A. Title – Acid-Base Extraction with Separatory Funnel B. Introduction – The main objective of the experiment was the extract an acid‚ a base‚ and a neutral compound from a 2:1:1 compound of benzoic acid‚ p-nitroaniline‚ and azobenzene. In theory‚ an extraction technique based on phase distribution should allow two immiscible solvents to separate with a portion of the solute distributed into each. Using a separatory funnel‚ acids were extracted with bases (NaOH)‚ and bases were extracted

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Santos‚ Raphael‚ Samson‚ Nonia Carla‚ *Tabora‚ Brylle‚ Tan‚ Kate Michal Department of Biological Sciences‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Tea leaves are natural products that are harvested from agriculture. Caffeine‚ on the other hand‚ is a stimulant that has been shown to speed up the time of reaction‚ increase alertness‚ and improve one’s concentration. What we did in this experiment was to extract the alkaloid caffeine content

Preparation of SKEO The extraction of S. khuzistanica was performed by hydro distillation and clevenger apparatus for 5 hours. Once extraction was completed‚ the resulted essential oil was dehydrated using sodium sulfate (Merck). The essential oil was stored at temperature of 4ºC until using (12). In order to provide different concentrations of the extract‚ Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of essential oil Isolation and measurement of the sample

As the assistant to Michael Brune‚ the executive director of the Sierra Club‚ I am in full support of The Exploratory Fracking and Extraction act. I would like to express concerns associated with hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ on behalf of the Sierra Club. Critical problems that are commonly brought to attention are: contamination of water supplies‚ seismic activity caused by fracking‚ and it worsens the current condition of the climate. Fracking wells inject water‚ sand‚ and chemicals deep

microfuge tube. Place this tube directly into liquid N2 to freeze plant tissue. 2) Remove tubes from the liquid N2 and quickly grind the plant tissue with a pestle. Add 300 L of Methanol 1%HCl and continue to grind the plant tissue. Allow extraction to occur overnight in a dark refrigerator. 3) Add 200 L Milli-Q H20 to each tube. Next‚ go to the fume hood and add 500 L of chloroform to each tube. Spin the tubes in a centrifuge set at the highest rpm for 2-5 minutes. 4) Return to

There has been much debate in recent years among politicians‚ military officials‚ and civilians on whether or not the U.S. should be fully withdrawn from Afghanistan‚ regardless of the country’s economic and military capabilities. There has also been a proposed timetable‚ which President Obama says is in effect and currently being executed‚ to have up to ninety percent of our military personnel out of the country by no later than 2014. It is imperative that we extract our forces out of Afghanistan
