Material & Processing

• PP/PPH/PVC: High chemical resistance for acidic/alkaline solvents.
• Transparent PMMA: Allows visual monitoring of extraction phases.
• Welding & Bonding: Precision joints ensure durability under continuous operation.

Key Functions

• Adjustable Agitator Speed: Optimize mixing intensity for viscous solvents.
• Phase Interface Control: Fine-tune settling time for perfect separation.
• IoT-Ready: Compatible with SCADA systems for remote data access.

How It Works

1. Mixing Phase: Solvents and feedstock blend in the agitation chamber.
2. Settling Phase: Immiscible liquids separate into distinct layers.
3. Extraction: Target compounds are collected via precision outlets.

Applications

1. Rare Earth & Battery Metals: Lithium, cobalt, nickel recovery
   In the pursuit of lithium, cobalt, and nickel recovery, diverse sources are exploited. From lithium - bearing ores, chemical leaching processes are initiated, followed by precipitation and ion - exchange techniques to isolate lithium. Cobalt and nickel, vital for battery anodes, are reclaimed from spent batteries. Dismantling of batteries is followed by chemical treatment to dissolve these metals, and then solvent extraction is used to purify them. The recovered metals are recycled into new batteries, reducing reliance on virgin mining and minimizing environmental impact.
2. Pharmaceuticals: High - purity API extraction
   High - purity Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) extraction is a complex and critical process. Starting with raw materials, a series of chemical and physical methods are employed. Extraction solvents are carefully chosen to selectively dissolve the API. Multiple extraction cycles may be required to enhance purity. After extraction, techniques like crystallization, chromatography, and distillation are used to further purify the API. Rigorous quality control measures ensure that the final product meets the stringent standards necessary for safe and effective medications.
3. Environmental: Waste oil recycling, biofuel production
   Waste oil recycling is a crucial step towards environmental sustainability. Waste oil, from sources like automotive engines, is collected and undergoes a refining process. This includes removing impurities such as water, dirt, and heavy metals through filtration and distillation. The recycled oil can be reused as lubricants or further processed into other products. Biofuel production, on the other hand, often involves converting biomass, like vegetable oils or agricultural waste, into usable fuels through transesterification or fermentation, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
4. Food & Beverage: Essential oil refinement, decaffeination
   Essential oil refinement in the food and beverage industry is a meticulous process. Pilot Solvent Extractor starting with plant materials, extraction methods like steam distillation or cold - pressing are used to obtain the crude essential oil. This oil is then refined to remove impurities and unwanted odors or flavors. In the case of decaffeination, especially for coffee and tea, methods such as solvent extraction (using food - grade solvents) or supercritical carbon dioxide extraction are used. These processes selectively remove caffeine while preserving the flavor and aroma compounds of the beverage ingredients.
