i just choose this topic for my final year project where i need to search and conducting an experiment to determine its effectiveness. But since i am so lack of knowledge for this particular scientific experiment, i would like maybe a further explanatory here.

Any thoughts or ideas about this topic?

What have you found out so far?
 
I think you'd need to provide some description of the experiment and what you are hoping to achieve.
 
Perhaps research the effectiveness of other methods to allow a comparison. What is even meant by effectiveness? I mean it could mean a greater percentage is extracted or the same percentage is extracted but at less cost or ?
