[0002] With the development of society, peppermint oil, as an important natural fragrance and medicinal ingredient, is widely used in the fields of food, daily chemicals, medicine, etc. It has the effects of refreshing and anti-inflammatory, and can be used to prepare cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, and endow food with a unique refreshing flavor in the food industry.

[0003] The existing purification of peppermint oil requires multiple complicated steps such as raw material steaming, steam condensation, natural sedimentation and stratification, and filtration. These cumbersome steps lead to low purification efficiency. Natural sedimentation and stratification take several hours or even longer, extending the production cycle. For example, in the traditional process, the oil-water mixture after steam condensation needs to be naturally sedimented and stratified in a static state, which takes a long time; when the precipitated liquid is discharged, there is a lack of precise control, which easily leads to the mixed discharge of oil and water. Simple filtration cannot meet the production requirements of high-purity peppermint oil, and multiple repeated operations are required, increasing energy consumption and costs, and may introduce pollution due to improper operation, affecting product quality.

[0017] A purification process of peppermint oil, using the purification device of peppermint oil described in any one of the above, includes the following steps.

[0018] S1. Raw material pretreatment

[0019] Crushed peppermint stems and leaves and water are added into the first treatment barrel through the first feed pipe and the second feed pipe. The volume ratio of water to the raw material is 3:1. The first treatment barrel is heated to 100 °C by the electric heating wire to make it boil, and the steam carries the peppermint oil molecules and rises.

[0020] S2. Steam condensation

[0021] The steam enters the condenser through the exhaust port. Cooling water is introduced into the cooling pipe to liquefy the steam to form an oil-water mixture, and the oil-water mixture flows into the second treatment barrel through the drain pipe.

[0022] S3. Centrifugal separation

[0023] Then, the driving motor drives the gear to engage with the toothed ring, making the second treatment barrel rotate at a high speed, and using centrifugal force to separate the oil and water.

[0024] S4. Stratification observation

[0025] Push the round cover upward to expose the liquid inlet hole. The oil-water mixture is discharged through the discharge pipe, and the position of the oil layer is observed through the first annular glass and the second annular glass.

[0026] S5. Refining treatment

[0027] After the liquid is drained, a sealing cover is installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe. The oil is adsorbed by impurities through the activated carbon filter layer and dehydrated by the anhydrous sodium sulfate layer in sequence to obtain refined peppermint oil.

[0028] The present invention provides a purification device and a purification process of peppermint oil. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. By setting up the collection mechanism, during the distillation process, the steam carries the peppermint oil molecules and enters the condenser through the exhaust port. At this time, the water inlet pipe introduces cooling water into the cooling pipe. The cooling pipe fits with the top of the condenser, and the cooling water takes away the heat, making the steam quickly liquefy to form an oil-water mixture. The mixture automatically drains into the second treatment barrel through the drain pipe under the action of gravity. This process does not require manual transfer of the liquid, reducing the labor input, and at the same time avoiding problems such as liquid spilling and pollution caused by manual operation, improving the safety and stability of the production process.

[0030] 2. By setting up a centrifugal mechanism, during use, the driving motor drives the gear to rotate. The gear meshes with the toothed ring, causing the second processing barrel to rotate at high speed. Under the action of centrifugal force, the oil and water in the oil-water mixture are quickly separated due to different densities. Compared with the traditional sedimentation and stratification method, the centrifugal stratification speed is faster, which can achieve efficient separation in a short time, greatly shortening the stratification time. Moreover, the centrifugal separation is more thorough, which can effectively improve the extraction rate of peppermint oil, reduce raw material waste, and improve economic benefits.

[0031] 3. By setting up a discharge and filtration mechanism, during use, push the round cover upward. Under the cooperation of the spring and the guide shaft, the liquid inlet hole is exposed, and the oil-water mixture is discharged through the discharge pipe. When it is observed that the position of the oil layer is appropriate, stop discharging the liquid. Install a sealing cover at the bottom of the connecting pipe. The oil passes through the activated carbon filter layer in sequence. The activated carbon adsorbs impurities such as pigments and odors in the oil by its adsorption property, and then passes through the anhydrous sodium sulfate layer. The anhydrous sodium sulfate absorbs the water in the oil, realizing the function of secondary filtration of the oil. It can accurately control the separate discharge of the oil liquid, avoid the water phase from mixing into the oil phase, and the secondary filtration effectively improves the purity of the peppermint oil, making its quality better.

[0050] A purification process for peppermint oil uses a peppermint oil purification device according to any one of the above, and includes the following steps.

[0051] S1. Raw material pretreatment

[0052] The crushed peppermint stems and leaves and water are added to the first treatment barrel 3 through the first feed pipe 8 and the second feed pipe 9. The volume ratio of water to the raw material is 3:1. Crushing the raw material can increase the contact area with water and steam, improve the extraction efficiency, and heat the first treatment barrel 3 to 100 °C through the heating wire 10 to make it boil, which can generate enough steam to carry the peppermint oil molecules to volatilize, and the steam carries the peppermint oil molecules to rise.

[0053] S2. Steam condensation

[0054] The steam enters the condensing pipe 501 through the exhaust port 301. The cooling pipe 504 is supplied with cooling water. After the steam enters the condensing pipe 501, it exchanges heat with the cooling pipe 504. The steam is liquefied when it meets the cold, and the oil-water mixture flows into the second treatment barrel 4 along the drain pipe 502 under the action of gravity.

[0055] S3. Centrifugal separation

[0056] Then, the driving motor 601 drives the gear 602 to engage with the toothed ring 603, so that the second treatment barrel 4 rotates at a high speed. The water phase with a large density is thrown to the barrel wall, and the oil phase with a small density is located in the middle, realizing rapid stratification.

[0057] S4. Stratification observation

[0058] Push the round cover 704 upward to expose the liquid inlet hole 703. The oil-water mixture is discharged through the discharge pipe 701. Observe the position of the oil layer through the first annular glass 201 and the second annular glass 401. When the water phase is basically discharged, stop pushing the round cover 704 to prevent excessive water from mixing into the oil phase.

[0059] S5. Refining treatment

[0060] After the liquid is drained, a sealing cover 708 is installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 707. The oil is sequentially adsorbed by impurities through the activated carbon filter layer 709 and dehydrated by the anhydrous sodium sulfate layer 710 to obtain refined peppermint oil. Installing the sealing cover ensures the sealing of the filtration process. The activated carbon adsorbs impurities in the oil, and the anhydrous sodium sulfate absorbs moisture, thereby improving the purity of the peppermint oil.

[0061] Working principle: First, the crushed mint stems and leaves and water are added to the first processing barrel 3 through the first feed pipe 8 and the second feed pipe 9 at a volume ratio of 3:1. The electric heating wire 10 is heated to 100 °C to boil the raw materials. The generated steam carries menthol oil molecules and enters the condenser tube 501 through the exhaust port 301. At the same time, cooling water is introduced through the water inlet pipe 503, and the condenser tube 501 is cooled by the cooling tube 504. The steam is cooled and liquefied to form an oil-water mixture, which automatically flows into the liquid inlet 403 of the second processing barrel 4 along the drain pipe 502, completing the distillation and condensation process.

[0062] Then, the drive motor 601 is started, and the second processing barrel 4 is driven to rotate at a high speed through the meshing of the gear 602 and the gear ring 603. Under the action of centrifugal force, the menthol oil with a smaller density floats up, and the water with a larger density sinks, realizing rapid stratification. The stratification interface can be clearly observed through the first annular glass 201 and the second annular glass 401.

[0063] Next, the round cover 704 is pushed upward, the spring 705 is compressed, and the liquid inlet hole 703 on the drain pipe 701 is exposed. First, the lower-layer water is discharged. When it is observed that the oil layer reaches the position of the liquid inlet hole 703, the round cover 704 is released, and the spring 705 returns to its original position to seal the liquid outlet 402 with the baffle 702, stopping the liquid discharge. Subsequently, a sealing cover 708 is installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 707. The upper-layer oil liquid is adsorbed with pigments and impurities through the activated carbon filter layer 709, and the residual water is removed through the anhydrous sodium sulfate layer 710, finally obtaining high-purity menthol oil. The impurities and waste water are discharged through the slag discharge pipe 302 and the drain pipe 701 respectively.

[0064] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
