  "term": "Extraction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A separation technique that selectively transfers one or more components from a solid or liquid mixture into a different phase, typically a solvent. This process relies on differences in solubility or chemical affinity between the components and the extracting phase. It is widely used in analytical chemistry for sample preparation and purification.",
