A brief review and assessment of methods for the extraction (extraction) of active biocomponents from plant raw materials is presented. The overview contains a number of tables and diagrams to facilitate the initial perception of this topic. Examples of stationary and mobile installations developed in the world are shown. The prospects of the Supercritical CO2-extraction method, as the most effective for the extraction of valuable biomedical components, have been analyzed. The schemes and samples of the used CO2-extractors are shown. The schemes and external view of the author’s experimental setup for extraction with supercritical CO2 developed by our team are presented.
A detailed description of an experimental mobile installation of a new generation, its complete set and the possibilities of supercritical CO2-extraction for processing plant raw materials are presented. New engineering solutions in the operation of a mechanical system were demonstrated, including an improved design of a high gas pressure throttle valve installed in storage tanks and innovations in the system for loading and unloading raw materials using removable nozzles. The operating parameters of the functional elements and their resource are indicated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
