A carbon-based material post-modification reactor includes: a feeding port located upstream from the carbon-based material post-modification reactor and adapted to feed a carbon-based raw material into the reactor; a discharging port located downstream from the carbon-based material post-modification reactor and adapted to output a modified carbon-based material; and a screw conveying device disposed in the reactor to simultaneously convey and turn over the carbon-based raw material in the reactor, between the feeding port and the discharging port; and an intake device for inputting ozone gas to the interior of the carbon-based material post-modification reactor. The screw conveying device includes a shaft portion, reverse inner spiral blade group and forward outer spiral blade group. The screw conveying device simultaneously conveys forward, conveys reversely, and turns over the carbon-based raw material in the carbon-based material post-modification reactor, thereby enhancing the performance of post-modification reaction.

The present disclosure relates to a lignite transient dehydration upgrading and temperature and pressure instant generation device system. Materials are added by a feeding device above the steam dehydration system and enter a feeding area, at the moment, a sealing valve is opened, an internal material platform is pushed forwards in a rotary mode, wet materials enter a dehydration area, and then the sealing valve is closed after dry materials enter. Saturated steam is added into the device by the steam generation system, then the device is adjusted to be in a high-temperature and high-pressure state by the electric control system, and the pressure is continuously stabilized for a certain period of time. The sealing valve is then opened, the dry materials enter a discharging area and then are discharged by a conveying belt, while new wet materials enter the dehydration area accordingly to begin the next round of dehydration.

This invention is for improving the manufacturing pharmaceutical grade CBD and other cannabinoids following current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) of the US FDA for use in clinical trials for CNS and other indications by the NIH and other researchers. The major cannabinoids in marijuana (Cannabis) and hemp originate from Cannabigerolic Acid (CBGA) present in the biomass of the plant. Plant enzymes that are specific to different strains of biomass converts CBGA to different carboxylic acids of cannabinoids including Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA) and Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (Δ9-THCA). These are relatively stable in the growing and fresh-cut plants. These are converted by thermal decarboxylation to Cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), carbon dioxide and water. Cannabinoids can be manufactured by first heating the Cannabis biomass to convert carboxylic acids prior to extraction and purification. Alternatively, and preferably because of manufacturing cost and product stability, the carboxylic acids can be first extracted and purified. They can be utilized in the carboxylic acid form or stored in a stable manner until converted to cannabinoids for use in medicine. This invention provides an efficient method for their conversion utilizing a high-pressure reactor under inert conditions.

A method for preparing a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material with micro air holes is provided. The method comprises the following steps: (1) is feeding liquid raw materials such as diisocyanate molecules and solid additives into a double-screw reactor to trigger a polymerization type chain extension reaction and then obtain a macromolecular weight hot melt. (2) is pushing the macromolecular weight hot melt into a mixing extruder and allowing the reaction to continue to obtain a macromolecular thermoplastic polyurethane melt. (3) is continuously adding the obtained macromolecular thermoplastic polyurethane melt together with polymer particles into a foaming extruder, and extruding the high-pressure hot melt from a mold head into an underwater granulation chamber. (4) is delivering the particles obtained after granulation into a separator by process water via a multi-stage pressure-release process water pipeline, separating, screening and drying the required particles to obtain the target product.
