Finally, it flows down through the lipophilic filter membrane at the bottom of the lower-middle transition chamber to the discharge chamber. This multiple filtration process results in the material flowing down in stages, which is decomposed into multiple segments. This facilitates segmented heating to quickly release the extractant vapor. The extractant vapor flows through an external conduit to the condenser. After being condensed into liquid, it flows back to the upper mixing chamber to continue participating in the extraction. This avoids waste and significantly improves the purification efficiency.
[0015] 2. The liquid from the extraction tank is pumped through a booster pump, the concentric tube inside the enhanced evaporation device, and multiple nozzles to the upper part of the central riser. As the liquid flows down the central riser, it is heated, which helps to accelerate the evaporation of the extractant. When the liquid passes through the hollow sleeve, it is also heated again, which further accelerates the evaporation of the extractant. The evaporated extractant is finally discharged to the condenser through the vent hole of the baffle plate and the steam outlet. The material after passing through the enhanced evaporation device is further purified, which further improves the purity of the product. Attached Figure Description
