The common method of extracting beeswax absolute involves soaking beeswax in a solvent, such as alcohol or hexane, to dissolve the wax components. The mixture is then filtered to remove impurities, and the solvent is evaporated to yield the beeswax absolute. This method helps to isolate the aromatic compounds present in beeswax for use in perfumery and aromatherapy.

One common method for separating curcumin from turmeric is a solvent extraction process using organic solvents such as ethanol or acetone. This method involves grinding the turmeric root into a powder, mixing it with the solvent to extract curcumin, and then filtering and evaporating the solvent to isolate the curcumin.
The best and simple method is filtration.
Extraction is a method of separating a desired compound from a mixture by dissolving the compound in a solvent that selectively extracts it from the mixture. The mixture is then usually shaken or agitated to allow for complete mixing of the solvent and the compound of interest. The compound is then separated from the solvent through techniques such as filtration or evaporation.
For example in the process of table salt extraction from the seawater.
