Presumably you are talking about in a chromatography column with alumina in it. The fluorenone is polar and subsequently creates a bond with the polar alumina. However, as Chlorine is more electronegative then the oxygens on alumina, the fluorenone wants to hang out and be friends with the methylene chloride even more than alumina, so the fluorenone and the methylene chloride hold hands and take a romantic walk down the column into your solution.

How is caffeine extracted from tea using methylene chloride?

Caffeine is extracted from tea using methylene chloride through a process called solvent extraction. Methylene chloride is a solvent that helps separate caffeine from the tea leaves. The tea leaves are soaked in methylene chloride, which dissolves the caffeine. The mixture is then filtered to separate the caffeine from the solvent. Finally, the solvent is evaporated, leaving behind pure caffeine.
