Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model: ables y have been associated to potential units in the process and the solvent recovery system. Equality con- straints, h, represent the process mathematical model. It is solved within a sequential process simulator which includes rigorous models for a high-pressure multistage extractor (Brignole et al., 1987) and a multiphase flash (Michelsen, 1982). The GC-EOS has been integrated as thermodynamic support for these model unit simulation routines. Additional equality constraints c correspond to reflux recycle, as the nonlinear optimization subproblem has been solved in an infeasible-path way. Inequality constraints, g, include product purity and recovery specifications, solvent purity and operating bounds.

Supercritical deterpenation scheme with solvent cycle superstructure Figure 6 shows the deterpenation process together with the solvent recovery system superstructure. In the extraction column (E), lemon oil is fed at the sixth stage in countercurrent with supercritical carbon dioxide; citral is the raffinate. Limonene and carbon dioxide con- stitute the extract, which may be heated (y5=1) and/or expanded through a Joule-Thomson valve (y6=1) to re- duce solute solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide. This stream is then sent to a solvent recovery unit (S1); the vapor is the recovered solvent and the liquid is partly returned to the extractor as reflux and partly re- covered as limonene product after a further expansion to ambient pressure. Other alternative to separate the ex- tract from the solvent is to change temperature in order to reduce solute solubility in carbon dioxide at constant pressure, so the valve (V1, y6=1) is also optional; how- ever solvent purity for reuse cannot be achieved in this option. In compression mode, the recovered carbon di- oxide is compressed (C1, centrifugal, y1=1 or C2, recip- rocal, y2=1) to extraction pressure and then it is cooled to extraction temperature (HE1, y3=1). In pumping mode (y4=1), the recovered solvent is condensed (HE2), pumped (P1) and heated (HE3) to extraction pressure and temperature respectively. In pumping mode, a pro- pane refrigeration cycle has been considered to con- dense carbon dioxide; the solvent is heated in HE3 with low-pressure steam to extractor temperature. In com- pressor mode, the solvent is cooled (HE1) to extractor temperature with cooling water. The objective is to maximize net profit. 163 S1

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
