Remediation of pesticides from agricultural oils

A method of remediating pesticides from an agricultural oil includes mixing a reaction solvent, a reducing agent, and an agricultural oil into a reaction mixture in a reaction vessel, controlling the temperature of the reaction mixture, producing a pre-neutralization mixture including a separation solvent, transferring the pre-neutralization mixture into a neutralization reactor that contains a neutralization agent, mixing the pre-neutralization mixture with the neutralization agent and allowing separation into an aqueous layer and a separation solvent layer, draining the aqueous layer, and distilling the separation solvent in the separation solvent layer from the remediated agricultural oils. A system has a reactor vessel, the reactor vessel having one or more inlets to allow a reducing agent, the agricultural oil, the separation solvent, and other additives as needed to produce a reaction mixture, a temperature control unit to control a temperature of the reaction mixture at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, a neutralization vessel fluidically connected to the reactor vessel to receive the reaction mixture from the reactor vessel, the neutralization vessel having an inlet to allow a neutralization agent to be introduced into the neutralization vessel to produce a neutralized reaction mixture, and a valve arranged at a bottom of the neutralization vessel to allow an aqueous phase of the reaction mixture to be drained from the neutralization vessel.

Photocatalysis Extraction Method for Enriching Cannabidiol from the Wild Hemps
20210047583 · 2021-02-18 ·

A novel method is developed to remove wax and terpene from the wild hemp plants to produce enriched cannabidiol (CBD) crude oil with high quality and further purify the crude oil into crystal/isolate with 99.0% content of CBD. The method utilizes titanium dioxide (TiO.sub.2) photocatalyst for redox reaction under the irradiation of UV (ultraviolet) light in a solvent extraction process of CBD, which significantly removes accompanying wax and terpene. With the beneficial photocatalyst property, the TiO.sub.2 decomposes the wax and terpene in the wild hemp crude extract through appropriate UV radiation to induce catalytic reaction at specific PH (potential hydrogen) levels. Through optimizing the photocatalyst dewaxing using TiO.sub.2, the method achieves the best dewaxing effect and maximum terpene reduction. Thus, the method offers a low-cost, reusable, and biologically friendly process of removing wax and terpene to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the separation processes in the CBD production.
