Explain extraction of ephedrine from a mineral block?..

Answer / Rakesh Kumar Dwivedi

Ephedrine is not found as a mineral but can be extracted from certain plants, like the Ephedra sinica. The extraction process involves drying the plant material, grinding it into a powder, and then soaking the powder in a solvent (like ethanol) to extract the ephedrine alkaloids. After filtration, the solution is concentrated, and the ephedrine is separated through recrystallization.
