The present disclosure provides an ultrasonic-microwave synergistic extraction method of total saponins in beautiful millettia root, comprising the following steps: S1, material treatment, S2, cold soaking, S3 enzymatic hydrolysis, S4 extract extraction, and S5 ultrasonic-microwave synergistic extraction. The extraction method of the present disclosure extracts relatively high content of total saponins, and has relatively high yield of saponins and low content of impurities, and each step acts synergistically to solve the problems of relatively low total saponin content, more impumayrities and bubbling in the extraction process.

Methods of isolating phenols from phenol-containing media. The methods include combining a phospholipid-containing composition with the phenol-containing medium to generate a combined medium, incubating the combined medium to precipitate phenols in the combined medium and thereby form a phenol precipitate phase and a phenol-depleted phase, and separating the phenol precipitate phase and the phenol-depleted phase. The methods can further include extracting phenols from the separated phenol precipitate phase. The extracting can include mixing the separated phenol precipitate phase with an extraction solvent to solubilize in the extraction solvent at least a portion of the phenols originally present in the phenol precipitate phase.

The present invention relates to a process for the electro extraction of molecules from a moving fluid donor phase into an acceptor phase, comprising the steps of: providing an electrically conductive donor phase moving at a first flow velocity and in electrically conductive contact with a first electrode, providing an electrically conductive acceptor phase in direct contact and immiscible with the donor phase, in electrically conductive contact with a second electrode; and providing a supporting or confining phase guide pattern to keep a defined interface between donor phase and acceptor phase, and (d) applying an electrical field between the first and the second electrode.

Embodiments described herein provide a method, comprising routing a bio-oil to a mixing device; routing a wash material to the mixing device; using the mixing device to form a mixture from the bio-oil and the wash material; routing the mixture to an electrostatic separator; and applying an electric field to the mixture, in the electrostatic separator, to separate the wash material from the bio-oil.

The invention relates to a method for transferring a target substance (5), particularly a target molecule (5), between two liquid phases (4, 6; 6, 8; 6, 11), of which at least one phase (4, 6) comprises the target substance (5) to be transferred and at least one phase (4, 8, 11) is an aqueous phase, where at least the aqueous phase (4, 8, 11) is arranged in one of two electrode chambers (1a, 1b, 10a, 10b) which are electroconductively connected, preferably by charge carrier exchange, and separated in terms of the volumes thereof, preferably where the phases (4, 6; 6, 8; 6, 11) are arranged together in one of two electrode chambers (1a, 1b, 10a, 10b) which are electroconductively connected and separated in terms of the volumes thereof, and a pH-value modification is generated by the H and/or OH ions created during the electrolysis in the aqueous phase (4, 8, 11), said modification initiating a transfer process of the target substance (5) between the phases (4, 6; 6, 8; 6, 11). The invention also relates to the use of the method for enrichment and subsequent isolation of the target substance (5).

Systems and processes for removing and purifying bromide from an aqueous bromide solution are described. Electrochemistry is used to either convert bromide to bromine to allow its extraction in an organic phase, or to cause deposition of bromine onto an electrode. In either case, once removed from the aqueous bromide solution, the bromide can be recovered and purified.

Described herein are methods and systems for performing liquid-liquid extraction in bulk tankage. According to certain embodiments, the liquid-liquid extraction can occur in a bulk tank via a circulation loop, in which a solvent mixture is injected with the hydrocarbon ahead of mix valves on the circulation loop. According to other embodiments, a misting system is installed in the vapor or head space of bulk tankage. The misting system distributes small micro-drops of a solvent mixture so as to cause a uniform lay down over the entire top surface area of hydrocarbon. The solvent mixture migrates from the top surface of the hydrocarbon to the bottom of the bulk tank, reacting during migration to cause liquid-liquid extraction.

The present invention relates to a method of cleaning solids to be free of, or separating solids from, viscous materials and in some cases other solids such as, but not limited to resins and other coatings, foreign debris, clays, silts, contaminated water or chemicals and in other cases separating some liquids form some other liquids. Also disclosed are systems to accomplish such.
