A Reflux Rinsing method for purifying crystals using solvent vapor through dynamic equilibrium recrystallization. Feed material having tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA) is inserted into a reaction vessel having walls, and upper portion, and a lower portion with a bottom surface. The feed material is exposed to a hydrocarbon liquid in the reaction vessel in a quantity sufficient to keep liquid present in equilibrium with gas in the reaction vessel through the recrystallization process, forming a raw extract having THCA. The walls and bottom surface of the reaction vessel are coated with raw extract. The reaction vessel is heated and then the heating is discontinued. Vapor/thin-film DER is promoted in the reaction vessel for a predetermined length of time with no solvent reflux, resulting in formation of purified crystals of THCA under pressure. The hydrocarbon solvent is reclaimed from the reaction vessel, leaving the purified crystals and impurities. When the reaction vessel is opened, the purified crystals and impurities are removed.

The disclosure provides a decolorization and purification method of BHET material, which includes the following steps. A first dose of activated carbon is added to preliminarily treat the BHET material. After the preliminary treatment, a first cooling crystallization process and filtration are performed to obtain BHET crystals. Afterwards, an oxidant is used to chemically react with the BHET crystals to destroy a dye or impurities, and then a second dose of activated carbon is added to adsorb a chemically reacted oxide. Next, a second cooling crystallization process, filtration, and drying are performed to obtain a finished product of BHET.

Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of a spray-dried powder consisting essentially of LNT and/or LNnT, the spray-dried powder, its use for the manufacture of nutritional compositions, and nutritional compositions containing the spray-dried powder.

A method includes supplying a supersaturated brine stream having a plurality of minerals and anti-scalant from a water treatment system to a gypsum removal system disposed within a mineral removal system. The gypsum removal system includes a gypsum reactor that may receive the supersaturated brine, may deactivate the anti-scalant such that gypsum precipitates from the supersaturated brine, and may generate a gypsum slurry having a mixture of desupersaturated brine, precipitated gypsum, and the anti-scalant in solution with the desupersaturated brine. The method also includes supplying gypsum seed crystals to the gypsum reactor. The gypsum seed crystals may precipitate the gypsum from the supersaturated brine to generate the gypsum slurry. The method also includes directing a first portion of the gypsum slurry from the gypsum reactor to a gypsum settler. The gypsum settler may reactivate the anti-scalant such that the anti-scalant absorbs onto the precipitated gypsum to remove the anti-scalant from the desupersaturated brine and may generate anti-scalant-gypsum crystals and a desupersaturated overflow having at least a portion of the plurality of minerals. The method further includes generating the gypsum seed crystals supplied to the gypsum reactor using the anti-scalant-gypsum crystals.

A method of producing pure cannabidiol (CBD) isolate crystals including the steps of extracting the CBD compound from a cannabis plant; winterizing to remove fats, waxes and chlorophyll from the CBD extract; filtering the CBD extract through a series of filter plates; removing carboxylic acid and CO2 from the CBD extract; removing impurities from the CBD extract by distillation; and crystallizing the purified CBD extract to produce pure CBD isolate crystals and chopping the pure CBD isolate crystals to produce crystals of between 200 and 600 microns in size. A further embodiment includes the steps of grinding the crystals to produce micro-particles of between 1 and 5 microns and releasing the micro-particles into an air environment.
