From extraction, dewaxing/winterization/filtration, alcohol recovery/solvent remove, decarboxylation, distillation, crystallization, this is the entire process from plant to obtaining 99% high-purity crystals. So why is decarbonization very important in the whole process?
In the process of heating and stirring reaction, light components with lower boiling point and lower molecular weight, such as some aromatic hydrocarbons, light hydrocarbons, and light terpenes, are also removed. Before decarboxylation, it is necessary to use a rising film evaporator to recover the alcohol, but there will still be some residual ethanol and water. In the process of decarbonization, the residual ethanol and water will also be removed.
As you know, the best temperature for decarboxylation is 250 °F or 121 °C, if you do not choose a decarboxylation reactor correctly, you will spend more than ten hours to complete the process, due to heat loss and inefficient heat transfer. So efficient heating methods, excellent insulation design, and equipment materials with high thermal conductivity are the points that we need to pay special attention to.
