Introduction to Membrane Separators Zaiput Flow Technologies’ patented liquid‐liquid/liquid‐gas miniature membrane separators enable liquid extraction in flow chemistry‐based processes and provide a solution for typical batch‐based liquid extraction steps (i.e., slow settling time/separation of emulsions, elimination of the need to run batches at half capacity to … [Read more...]
Advanced Phytonic Extraction: Part III – The Advantages Over Other Processes
There are many different processes that you can use for extraction. Depending on the chemicals that are used as a solvent and there are different sets of environmental and safety considerations that you must keep in mind for each solvent … [Read more...]
Advanced Phytonic Extraction: Part II – The Uses of Phytosols
Extraction is a process where you separate desired substances from a mixture of other substances. For more on extraction and how it works, see Part I of our series on Advanced Phytonic extraction. Typically, extraction of desired chemicals and compounds is done with solvents that can be dangerous, flammable and volatile. Hexane and petroleum ether are two commonly used … [Read more...]
Advanced Phytonic Extraction: Part I – The Extraction Process
Since the dawn of time, humans have been using the bio-active compounds that are contained in plants. In the past Shamen used their knowledge to concoct potions made of leaves, roots and water. Fortunately, we have improved our ability to extract those bioactive compounds over time allowing us to get more use out of less of the organic matter. … [Read more...]
