Abstract
A system and method are provided for extracting compounds from raw materials packed into an extraction column. The system may include a flowing solvent source connected to an extraction column to provide a flow of solvent for extracting the raw materials. The system may also include an electrodeionizer to separate positive ions and negative ions within the flowing solvent to create an imbalance of ions and transform the solvent to a deionized solvent. In further embodiments, the extraction column includes a solvent surface layer in contact with a bed of raw materials, such that the hydraulic pressure applied within the extraction column results in the formation of catalyzing energy to generate a self-perpetuating energy cycle to extract the raw materials.
Claims6
A method for extracting compounds from a raw material, comprising:
- flowing a solvent into an electrodeionizer to separate positive ions and negative ions within the solvent to create an imbalance of ions and transform the solvent to a deionized solvent;
- extracting the raw material with the deionized solvent in an extraction column;
- and
- releasing carbon dioxide as the raw materials compress via hydraulic forces, wherein the carbon dioxide expands from thermal energy;
- wherein the deionized solvent attempts to restore the imbalance of ions by extracting a compound from the raw material.
