An essential oil extraction device is patented

Plant volatile oil, also known as essential oil, is a kind of volatile oil that can be distilled with water vapor and immiscible with water Researchers from Xinjiang Institute of physical and chemical technology, Chinese Academy of sciences have invented a volatile oil extraction device, which has recently been granted a national invention patent According to reports, volatile oil is mainly used in tobacco, medicine, flavor, perfume, cosmetics and other industries For the volatile oil, especially in the production of high-grade spices, different extraction methods have a great impact on the aromatics, so it is very important to choose efficient and feasible extraction methods At present, the conventional steam distillation device is usually used in the volatile oil separator, which is mainly composed of condensing tube, steam generator, container and other parts This kind of extractor has the disadvantages of too simple structure and low extraction efficiency In addition, due to the high temperature of water vapor when it condenses down the condensing tube, the temperature of the sample collecting tube is too high, so that the volatile substances can not be effectively extracted The device is composed of a steam generator, a receiver and a condenser The receiver consists of a sample collection pipe, a condensation device, a branch pipe, a liquid storage pipe and a gas conduit The device combines the sample collecting tube and the condensing device, reduces the temperature of the scale tube, makes some volatile substances with low boiling point condense in time and effectively, and does not cause its volatilization due to too high temperature At the same time, it can condense the volatile oil with high boiling point rapidly The part connecting the inclined gas tube and the air pipe is within the length of the condensing tube outside the collecting tube, so that Effective condensation is obtained in the sample collection tube The device is simple in structure, reasonable in design and easy to operate It is suitable for quick extraction of volatile oil from plants, especially for extraction of volatile oil components with low boiling point.
