7 To all whom it may cohcrn:
Be it known that I, VVALTER HALLE, a subject of the Emperor ofwAustria-Hungary, residing at Budapest, Austria- Hungary, have invented new and useful llm'prove ments in Processes of Preparing Nicotin, of which the following isa specification.
This invention relates to a process. of preparing nicotin and has for its object to extract nicotin from the tobacco directly, that is to say without any preliminary preparation or processes such as have heretofore been necessary.
N icotin, as is well known, is almost exclusively combined with organic acids in tobacco, that is, ,in the form of salts and not asfree base. 11 order to obtain the base by extraction with an easily volatile solvent, it
is therefore necessary to free it from the salts by means of alkalis. Fromthe'solutions obtained in this manner nicotin according to processes hitherto in use was obtained in a verytroublesome way. In most cases the base had'to be precipitated as oxalate by shaking the solution with oxalic acid. This salt had to be purified by means of several operations, and after this the nicotin was liberated and eventually purified by distillation ina current'of hydrogen.
Almost all other known processes and also those which start from aqueous tobacco extracts proceed on the same lines, the nicotin being in all these processes, obtained in the form of the-oxal'ate-oranother salt. The step from the crude nicotin salt to pure nicotin is, however, a very considerable one, with which is associated a loss in yieldexceeding per cent. In contra-distinctionto these known processes according to the present invention the nicotin is extracted from tobacco by means of suitable organic solvents, in the form of its salts without previous liberation of" thebase. After evaporating the solvent the residue is subjected to distillation in vacuum. The nicotin salts are thereby decomposed into their components and the nicotin is distilled in an almost pure state into the receiver. In tliismanner nic otin can be isolated by means-of simple distillation from the extract in which it is contained besides an abundant. quantity of other substances such as resin-like bodies, wax, and the like; and this can be done directly without the round-about way of preparing first the. oxalate or similar complicated methods at purification. For carrying out the process,

residue remaining after evaporation of the solvent is fractionated in a suitable distillation vessel under reduced pressure (for example 12 to 15 mm); running the temperature of the vapor rises The main fraction which passes over contains 80 to 98 per cent. of nicotin, which can be'obtaine'd quite pure by re-distillation in a current of hydrogen in a high Vacuum. The variable content in nicotin is a result of the variable composition of the difi erent kinds of tobacco. The present process is considerably simpl r as compared with the hitherto used processes. Only by this process the problem of manufacturing nicotin on an industrial scale in a satisfactory manner is solved. and the possibility of utilizing tobacco waste on a commercial scale for the production of nicotin is-made practicable by the present invention.
