Abstract
A system for extracting substances from a source material includes a chamber assembly, one or more ultrasonic transducers, and one or more convective mixing mechanisms. The chamber assembly defines a chamber. The chamber is configured to hold source material and a solvent such that at least a portion of the source material is immersed in the solvent. The one or more ultrasonic transducers are configured to produce ultrasonic waves that impinge on at least a portion of the portion of the source material in the solvent. The one or more mixers are configured to mix at least a portion of the source material.
Claims15
A system for extracting substances from a source material, comprising:
- a chamber assembly defining a chamber, wherein the chamber is configured to hold source material and a solvent such that the source material is immersed in the solvent, wherein the chamber comprises and open end and a closed end;
- a lid configured at the open end of the chamber, wherein the lid is configured to cover the chamber;
- ultrasonic transducers configured to produce ultrasonic waves that impinge on at least a portion of the source material in the solvent, wherein the ultrasonic transducers are configured on the lid whereby the ultrasonic waves are directed into the chamber;
- jets configured at the closed end of the chamber, wherein the jets are configured to produce bubbles, wherein the bubbles are directed towards the source material;
- a mixer configured to homogenize and disperse at least a portion of the source material in solvent, the mixer comprising:
- a shaft;
- a stirring element;
- and
- a bag configured within the chamber, the bag comprising an opening;
- wherein the source material is configured within the bag within the chamber, wherein the mixer is configured to extend from the lid into the bag, whereby the stirring element is accepted by the opening of the bag.
