The intermediate filter bag 153 is a polytetrafluoroethylene filter bag with a pore size of 2000 mesh, so that the mixed gas after dust removal and filtration is further purified.
[0028] In the dust removal and filtering equipment of the above structure, a separator hot water jacket 4 is arranged outside the shell of the cyclone separator 13, and the hot water inlet and hot water outlet of the separator hot water jacket 4 are respectively located at the bottom of the cyclone separator 13 and the bottom of the spherical head 14.

[0031] The working principle of the dust removal and filtration equipment for supercritical CO2 extraction provided by the present invention is explained below through a specific embodiment.
[0032] like Figure 1-3 The dust removal and filtering equipment shown is used for supercritical CO2 extraction, which includes a steam inlet filtration section based on a cyclone separator 13 and a powder and liquid discharge section based on a separator intermediate tank 10, specifically: a steam inlet filtration section consisting of an air outlet 1, an air inlet throttle valve 2, a mixed steam inlet pipe 3, a separator hot water jacket 4, a cyclone separator 13, a spherical head 14, a filter assembly 15 and an air outlet throttle valve 16, wherein the filter assembly 15 consists of a filter inner cylinder 151, a filter outer cylinder 152 and an intermediate filter bag 153; a powder and liquid discharge section consisting of a receiving tank flap level gauge 5, a receiving tank hot water jacket 6, an intermediate tank flap level gauge 7, an intermediate tank hot water jacket 8, an intermediate tank pulse discharge valve 9, a separator intermediate tank 10, a receiving tank pulse discharge valve 11 and a receiving tank 12.
[0033] The present invention provides a dust removal and filtration device for supercritical CO2 extraction, and the operating principle of the steam inlet filtration section is as follows: a dust-laden mixed gas passes through the throttle valve 2 on the mixed gas inlet pipe 3 and enters the cyclone separator 13 for cyclonic centrifugal separation. Dust remains on the inner wall of the cyclone separator 13, and the mixed gas is then discharged through the filter assembly 15 and the throttle valve 16 to the subsequent separator. The cyclone separator 13 is provided with a separator hot water jacket 4 to prevent the dust-laden CO2 mixed gas from cooling due to volume expansion. In addition to separating the dust from the dust-laden mixed gas in the cyclone separator 13, some liquid extract is typically also separated, forming a powder-liquid mixture. The filter inner cylinder 151 and filter outer cylinder 152 in the filter assembly 15 are both strong enough to withstand the impact of the high-pressure mixed gas flow. The intermediate filter bag 153, a 2000-mesh polytetrafluoroethylene filter bag, installed between the filter inner cylinder 151 and the filter outer cylinder 152, further purifies the mixed gas after dust removal and filtration.
[0034] The powder-liquid discharge section of the dust removal and filtration equipment for supercritical CO2 extraction, provided in this utility model, operates as follows: the powder-liquid mixture flows downward by gravity into a receiving tank 12. When the receiving tank flap level gauge 5, mounted on receiving tank 12, detects a high liquid level, the intermediate pulse discharge valve 11 is opened. When the receiving tank flap level gauge 5 detects a low liquid level, the intermediate pulse discharge valve 11 is closed, allowing the powder-liquid mixture to enter the separation intermediate tank 10. Similarly, when the intermediate tank flap level gauge 7 detects a high liquid level, the intermediate tank pulse discharge valve 9 is opened. When the intermediate tank flap level gauge 7 detects a low liquid level, the intermediate tank pulse discharge valve 9 is closed, achieving automatic and continuous discharge of the powder-liquid mixture. The two sets of pulse valves employed here primarily ensure smooth pressure discharge and prevent shock. During the discharge process, the powder-liquid mixture is sequentially depressurized (≤25MPa - approximately 10MPa - 0MPa) from the steam inlet filtration section to the powder-liquid discharge section, facilitating discharge. The receiving tank hot water jacket 6 outside the receiving tank 12 and the intermediate tank hot water jacket 8 outside the separator intermediate tank 10 are both used to ensure that the powder-liquid mixture has a certain temperature and maintains the fluidity of the powder and liquid for smooth discharge.
[0035] The dust removal and filtration equipment provided by the utility model realizes high-pressure dust removal and filtration during the extraction process, improves the purity of the extract, and provides convenience for subsequent further processing.
