Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for concentrating a compound found in plant material from one or more species of the Cannabis genus. A system includes a capture/heating station having at least one heating element to heat a mass of material held within the capture/heating station; at least one release station in series with and liquidly isolated from the capture/heating station, each release station defining a volume at least partially filed by a release reagent formulated to release a target product from a substrate; and a conveyor configured to carry a belt through the capture/heating station and then the at least one release station.

A system for concentrating a compound found in plant material from one or more species of the Cannabis genus, comprising:
- a capture/heating station having at least one heating element configured to heat a mass of material held within the capture/heating station;
- at least one release station in series with and liquidly isolated from the capture/heating station, the at least one release station defining a volume at least partially filled by a release reagent formulated to release a target product from a substrate;
- and
- a conveyor configured to carry a belt through the capture/heating station and then the at least one release station.
A method for concentrating a compound found in one or more species of the Cannabis genus, comprising:
- heating plant material to a volatilization temperature of a target product in the plant material to volatilize the target product;
- adsorbing the volatilized target product to a functionalized belt;
- and
- contacting at least a portion of the functionalized belt with a release reagent to release the adsorbed target product from the functionalized belt into the release reagent.
