Abstract
A system selectively extracts compounds form plant material. A liquid solvent is introduced to the material and through subsequent cycles of gradually increasing the temperature and pressure of the extraction chamber, various compounds can be selectively harvested from the plant material. The desirable compounds can each be routed to an individual collection chamber for individual extraction and storage. This allows volatile compounds and non-volatile compounds to be selectively extracted and stored separately.
Claims20
A system for selectively extracting compounds from plant material, comprising:
- an extraction vessel;
- a liquid storage tank in fluid communication with the extraction vessel;
- one or more collection chambers in fluid communication with the extraction vessel;
- and
- a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the one or more collection chambers;
- wherein the system is operable to extract the compounds in the absence of alcohol.
A method of extracting cannabinoids from plant material, comprising:
- subjecting the plant material to liquid carbon dioxide at a pressure below 500 psi and a temperature below 0° C.;
- boiling the liquid carbon dioxide;
- and
- collecting an extracted terpene.
A method of extracting botanicals, comprising:
- extracting, from a cannabis plant in a first bath, one or more terpenes;
- collecting the one or more terpenes in a first collection chamber;
- extracting, from the cannabis plant in a second bath, one or more cannabinoids;
- collecting the one or more cannabinoids in a second collection chamber separate from the first collection chamber;
- and
- mixing the one or more terpenes with the one or more cannabinoids, after further processing the one or more terpenes and the one or more cannabinoids, to form a product.
