Definitions

  • the invention relates to a microwave-assisted extraction system for the production of filtered extracts by means of separation of heating and extraction zone by a two-part container system.
  • Microwave heating is a surface heating method that results in a more uniform and faster heating of a solvent than is the case with conventional thermal surface heating methods.
  • the spreading vapor of the solvent permeates a substance to be extracted, hereinafter also referred to as sample, and subsequently condenses. An extract of the sample remains.
  • Hot extraction is used both in the manufacture of kitchen products, such as the production of coffee extracts for espresso, and in the extraction of samples for analytical testing.
  • DE 696 24 006 T2 also shows a thermal hot extraction process for a coffee machine consisting of a two-piece, stacked container system, the lower container a boiler and the upper container is a collection container. Between the two containers another, funnel-shaped container for receiving the material to be extracted is arranged.
  • the funnel-shaped container is spatially connected on the one hand to the interior of the booster and on the other hand with a conduit through which the extract can flow into the collecting container.
  • the line has an overpressure valve on its outlet side to produce a certain overpressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure in the boiler.
  • the pressure relief valve opens as soon as a predetermined pressure is reached. For heating, the water in the boiler is heated in a conventional manner; for example on a stove.
  • the extraction system for microwave-assisted extraction comprises a first container for receiving a solvent. Furthermore, the extraction system has a chamber in fluid communication with the first container for receiving a substance to be extracted. Furthermore, the extraction system has a condensation vessel in fluid communication with the chamber for collecting the extract.
  • the first container is included microwave transparent. The inside of the condensation tank is shielded against microwaves. The first container, the condensation container and the chamber form a unit for placing in a microwave space for microwave-assisted extraction.
  • the two-part container system it is possible to provide a microwave-assisted extraction system in which direct solvent heating by means of microwaves is enabled in a first container while the extract is in the condensation container in fluid communication with the first container is shielded from microwaves.
  • the shielding of the interior of the condensation container from microwaves ensures that burning and decomposition of the extract is prevented by heating by means of microwaves. It is thus possible to put the extraction system as a whole into a microwave space for extraction.
  • the container system can be made compact and thus equally used both for domestic use and for technical applications.
  • a channel for fluid communication is arranged between the chamber and the condensation tank. It is therefore possible to direct the solvent with the extract targeted to the condensation tank.
  • the channel is formed integrally with the condensation tank according to a third aspect of the invention.
  • the channel is microwave-shielding. In this way, penetration of microwaves into the interior of the condensation container via the channel wall is prevented.
  • the interior of the condensation container is in fluid communication with the environment of the extraction system by means of a pressure relief. It is thus possible to accelerate the condensation of the extract into the condensation tank.
  • the extraction system further comprises a lid for closing the condensation container. The extraction of the extract from the system and cleaning the container is facilitated.
  • the lid has a valve which closes the channel with the lid closed with a predeterminable contact pressure.
  • the seventh aspect of the invention when the solvent is heated by microwaves, there is an increasing pressure within the first container all the way to the channel.
  • the increased pressure in turn leads to a boiling point increase of the solvent used, which leads to an increase in the temperature of the solvent vapor.
  • This in turn has an effect on increasing the efficiency of the extraction since the extraction effect corresponding to the solvent vapor can be predetermined by the temperature.
  • the extraction may be at temperatures above the boiling point of the solvent done at atmospheric pressure. This leads to an increase in the diffusion coefficient, an increase in the solubility of the solvent and a reduction in its viscosity.
  • the latter has the particular advantage that the solvent passes more quickly into the pores of the sample. If the solvent vapor with the extract penetrates into the condensation vessel, concentration of the extract occurs simultaneously with the expansion proceeding due to the pressure drop, depending on the pressure setting.
  • the lid is screwed onto the condensation container according to an eighth aspect of the invention.
  • the condensation container can be securely closed and a pressure within the first container to the channel can be adjusted freely.
  • the condensation container has a hinge on which the lid is pivotally mounted.
  • the condensation container further comprises a latching device, in which the lid is locked in the closed state.
  • the lid can be quickly and safely closed and opened again.
  • the pressure relief is formed in the lid.
  • the chamber is provided with at least one filter.
  • the at least one filter is releasably inserted in the chamber according to a twelfth aspect of the invention. In this way it is possible to load the chamber quickly and conveniently with the sample and the filter hole plates or emptied.
  • the at least one filter is covered with at least one fine filter disk. This allows fine filtration of the extract.
  • a seal is arranged between the first container and the condensation container.
  • the seal ensures that a tight connection exists between the first container and the condensation container.
  • the condensation tank is provided with a spout. The pouring of the extract from the condensation tank is facilitated in this way.
  • the condensation tank is made of a microwave-shielding special stainless steel alloy.
  • the interior of the condensation vessel is shielded from microwaves by a metallic Faraday cage.
  • the chamber consists of a microwave-transparent or microwave-absorbing or microwave-reflecting Material.
  • the substance to be extracted can thereby optionally be shielded by microwave radiation or self-irradiated.
  • the first container 1 shows a microwave-assisted extraction system according to the invention, comprising a two-part container system with a first container 1 and a condensation container 2.
  • the first container 1 is preferably in fluid communication with a chamber 3, which in turn is in fluid communication with the condensation container 2.
  • the first container 1 is largely transparent to the microwave.
  • it is preferably made of a microwave-transparent material, so that the interior of the first container 1 represents a microwave-exposed space.
  • the first container 1 serves to receive a solvent L for the microwave-assisted extraction.
  • the solvent L for example, water, alcohol or other known solvents can be used. Due to the microwave transparency, direct heating of the solvent L by microwave MW is ensured.
  • the condensation tank 2 serves as a collection container for the extract E.
  • the container 2 is further shielded against microwave MW. It is irrelevant how the interior of the condensation vessel 2 is shielded from microwave MW.
  • the condensation container 2 is manufactured from a microwave-reflecting stainless steel alloy. Thus, the microwave MW are shielded by a metallic Faraday cage; the container 2 is therefore not microwave transparent. In this way, the condensation container 2 and thus, above all, the interior of the container 2 remains largely cold during microwave irradiation. Consequently, burning and / or decomposition of the extract in the container 2 is prevented by direct microwave irradiation.
  • the edge of the chamber 3 is preferably on the edge of the first container 1.
  • the chamber 3 protrudes completely into the first container 1.
  • the chamber 3 can be both microwave-transparent and microwave-absorbing or -reflective.
