supercritical co2 extraction plant

Description

Description

Supercritical CO2 extraction is a method that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) at high pressure and temperature as a solvent to extract active ingredients from plants. This method utilizes the unique properties of CO2 in its supercritical state, which means that its density and solvency are similar to that of a liquid, but still maintain the fluidity of a gas.

In the supercritical CO2 extraction process, CO2 is heated and pressurized above its critical point (~31°C and 73 bar), making it a supercritical fluid. This supercritical fluid is then used to extract the active ingredients in the plant, such as oils, terpenes, coumarins, and so on. The extraction process is usually carried out in a closed vessel where the CO2 fluid is mixed with the plant material to extract the active ingredients.

Technical Parameters

Advantages

Environmentally friendly: CO2 is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, and renewable resource solvent.
High efficiency: Supercritical CO2 extraction methods allow for the extraction of high-quality and purity active ingredients.
Low Temperature: The extraction process is usually carried out at lower temperatures, which can help protect the activity and stability of the active ingredients.
No residue: CO2 is an easy solvent to remove after extraction, avoiding the presence of residue.
Supercritical CO2 extraction methods are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other industries for extracting active ingredients from various plants.
