“…Following the classification introduced in an earlier work on comparison of different solvents for extraction of artemisinin [6], we can distinguish solvents according to their physical state under normal conditions. Ethanol extraction has been described in a publicly available report [25] and also in peer-reviewed literature [20,26,27]. This implies that the first group of solvents can be used as liquids without pressurization of the extraction apparatus, although, as we already know, forced percolation of a solvent at elevated pressures results in an increased efficiency of extraction in terms of reduced extraction time (see above).…”
