An extractor capable of simultaneously extracting light and heavy volatile oils

Abstract

The invention discloses an extracting device capable of synchronously light volatile oil and heavy volatile oil. The extracting device comprises a flask, a steam raising tube, a heavy oil tube and a light oil tube; the lower end of the steam raising tube is connected flask, and while the upper end of the steam raising tube is connected with the heavy oil tube; a condensing tube is connected to the upper end of the heavy oil tube; the upper part of the heavy oil tube is communicated with the upper part of the light oil tube through a communicating opening; the part in which the steam raising tube is connected with the heavy oil tube is higher than the communicating opening between the heavy oil tube and the light oil tube. The extracting device is simple in structure, ingenious in ideal, capable of synchronously extracting, separating and detecting heavy oil and light oil in volatile oil, and widely applied to extraction of various essential oil.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a volatile oil extractor and its application, in particular to an extractor capable of simultaneously extracting and separating light and heavy volatile oils and its application. Background technique [0002] Most of the volatile oils in Chinese herbal medicines, natural medicines, and plants contain heavy oils with relative densities greater than 1 and light oils with relative densities less than 1. At present, volatile oil is usually extracted by steam distillation using a volatile oil extractor. The existing volatile oil extractor is limited by design and cannot extract heavy oil and light oil at the same time. The liquid level in the extractor is in the graduated thin tube, and the oily water vapor condenses and drips into the graduated thin tube. The heavy oil and light oil cannot be separated. After the formed mixed oil droplets are enriched in the graduated tube, it is easy to block the graduated tube and cause the oil l...

Problems solved by technology

At present, volatile oil is usually extracted by steam distillation with volatile oil extractor. The existing volatile oil extractor is limited by design and cannot extract heavy oil and light oil at the same time.

The liquid level in the extractor is in the graduated thin tube, and the oily water vapor condenses and drips into the graduated thin tube. The heavy oil and light oil cannot be separated. After the formed mixed oil droplets are enriched in the graduated tube, it is easy to block the graduated tube and cause the oil layer to be segmented. , is pressed into the branch pipe by water and flows back into the flask, resulting in loss of volatile oil, lower extraction efficiency, inaccurate measurement results, etc.

It is even more impossible to separate and measure heavy oil and light oil in the sample at the same time
