A customer used ethyl acetate to extract nicotine. The original process was operated in a reactor. They wanted to make a technical transformation and consulted Tiei Extraction. We provided a technical transformation plan for them. According to the information provided by the customer, it is summarized as follows:

Project content: Extract nicotine with ethyl acetate. Tobacco needs to be extracted and filtered first, with a ratio of 1.5:3
Project equipment: Reactor
The problems currently faced by customers are:
1.The mixing and separation time of the reactor is long, and there is residue after separation
2.The reactor needs to be extracted multiple times, the water consumption is too large, and the investment cost increases

In view of this situation, our company selected CWL50-M experimental extraction equipment to conduct extraction experiments for the customer based on the customer's specific situation to see how the extraction effect is.

After the equipment is selected, the two-phase feed liquid is injected into the centrifugal extractor. The centrifugal extractor relies on centrifugal force for mixing and separation, so the mixing and separation speed is fast and the separation efficiency is high. The overall working efficiency exceeds that of the reactor by a lot. At the same time, the extraction rate is 99.9% and there is no residual entrainment. The customer is very satisfied!

Advantages of centrifugal extractors over reactors

  1. Simple and convenient operation: The centrifugal extractor can be operated intermittently or continuously, with simple and convenient operation, fast mixing and separation speed, and small stage retention.
  2. Centrifugal extractor has a larger processing capacity and is more energy-efficient.
  3. Centrifugal extractor uses perfluorinated polymer materials, which can resist corrosion from strong acids (hydrochloric acid, mixed acids, etc.).
  4. Centrifugal extractor has a variety of optional mixed structures, with high separation effect, and can be applied to systems that are easy to emulsify.
