摘要:
A process for the extraction of oils from oil-containing solid vegetable material by means of compressed gases, wherein said vegetable material is extracted with a mixture consisting of a supercritical gas and a subcritical entraining agent selected from the group consisting of propane, butane, pentane, ethanol, ethyl acetate, formaldehydedimethylacetal, CHF.sub.2 Cl and mixtures thereof, wherein the conditions of pressure, temperature and composition are selected so as to form a single fluid phase in said mixture of oil, supercritical gas and subcritical entraining agent, said extraction resulting in a loaded extractant which is separated from the extracted material in a separator and converted into an oil-rich liquid phase and a gaseous oil-exhausted phase in a regenerator by temperature increase and/or pressure decrease and said oil-rich phase and said oil-exhausted phase are separated and the oil-rich phase is pressure relieved, whereupon, if desired, the entraining agent remaining in the obtained oil is recovered.

COS, CS.sub.2, mercaptan, SH.sub.2, SOX and/or NOX are removed from a host gas by scrubbing using a solution of a salt of Scandium, Yttrium, an element of the Lanthanide or Actinium groups or blends thereof in water or in organic solvent.
摘要:
Coal tar oil is separated quantitatively into neutral oil, phenols and bases by a two stage extraction with overcritical gases. Carbon dioxide is employed as an overcritical extraction agent, and propane or butane are preferably added as entrainers. The neutral oil is obtained in the first stage. Tar bases can be employed as an additional entrainer for improving the selectivity. The bases are extracted in the second stage. The method is associated with the advantage that it saves energy and that no byproducts are generated.
摘要:
A process for the production of pitch raw materials having improved properties comprising extracting coal-tar pitch free of solids with a mixture of a supercritical gas extracting agent and an entrainer at elevated temperatures and pressures, passing the extraction mixture to a plurality of separation steps where the supercritical gas and entrainer are removed by lowering the pressure and/or raising the temperature, recycling the mixture of extracting agent and entrainer to the extraction step and recovering the pitch fractions from the separation step, the said pitch fractions being useful for diverse purposes such as soot production, electrode bonding agents, etc.
摘要:
The invention involves a process for the decaffeination of coffee, wherein--usually moistened--coffee is exposed to a circulating medium essentially composed of a compressed gas and an entrainer; this medium is subjected to partial condensation of the caffeine containing entrainer, in the absence of decompression; the caffeine is recovered from the condensate by evaporation of the entrainer portion thereof, and the medium is recycled to the coffee for continued extraction of caffeine therefrom.
