Abstract

A system and method are provided for extracting compounds from raw materials packed into an extraction column. The system may include a flowing solvent source connected to an extraction column to provide a flow of solvent for extracting the raw materials. The system may also include an electrodeionizer to separate positive ions and negative ions within the flowing solvent to create an imbalance of ions and transform the solvent to a deionized solvent. In further embodiments, the extraction column includes a solvent surface layer in contact with a bed of raw materials, such that the hydraulic pressure applied within the extraction column results in the formation of catalyzing energy to generate a self-perpetuating energy cycle to extract the raw materials.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system comprising:
 a flowing solvent source to provide an extraction column with a solvent for extracting a raw material;   an electro-deionizer to separate positive ions and negative ions within the solvent to create an imbalance of ions and transform the solvent to a deionized solvent; and   an extraction column comprising a solvent surface layer in contact with a bed of raw materials, such that a hydraulic pressure applied within the extraction column results in a formation of catalyzing energy to generate a self-perpetuating energy cycle to extract the raw materials.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a catch tank to collect and store an effluent extracted from the raw materials. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the catch tank cools the effluent, such that cooling the effluent helps preserve a heat sensitive compound extracted from the raw materials from being damaged by prolonged exposure to heat. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the catch tank cools the effluent to a temperature range of 35° F. −50° F. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the deionized solvent attempts to restore the imbalance of ions by removing an extractable compound from the raw materials as the deionized solvent flows through the raw materials. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the deionized solvent is propelled upward by hydraulic forces driven by inertia to penetrate into the raw materials to draw out the extractable compounds. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the flowing solvent is sourced from a water city feed line or a solvent tank. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the deionized solvent comprises an ionic purity level with a range from 1-18.2 mΩ. 
     
     
         9 . A system comprising:
 a flowing solvent source;   an deionizer to remove particles in the flowing solvent resulting in a deionized solvent;   a heat exchanger to precisely adjust the solvent temperature prior to the solvent entering an extraction column;   a gear pump to regulate and pressurize the solvent prior to the solvent entering the extraction column; and   the extraction column packed with raw materials, such that a catalyzing energy is formed within the extraction column with the manipulation of at least the temperature and pressure of the solvent to generate a self-perpetuating energy cycle to extract the raw materials.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the self-perpetuating energy cycle is generated from a hydraulic compression of the raw materials, such that each subsequent energy cycle within the self-perpetuating energy cycle releases greater energy. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprises a flow meter to monitor a volume, flow rate, and pressure of the solvent in the extraction column. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the deionized solvent is propelled upward by hydraulic forces driven by inertia to penetrate into the raw materials and draw out extractable compounds. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein hydraulic force driven by inertia to penetrate into the raw materials causes the compression of the raw materials, which results in a release of carbon dioxide generating in heavier resistance and backpressure within the extraction column.
