The invention relates to methods and apparatus, designed for the chemical processing of outer birch bark for obtaining triterpene compounds - betulin and lupeol as well as suberinic acids, used in the chemical and pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries.
The technical task to be solved with this invention is to develop a simple and efficient method for the chemical processing of outer birch bark for obtaining betulin, lupeol and suberinic acid salts in one apparatus and one outer birch bark processing cycle. According to the present invention, the advanced technical task is attained by a method for chemical processing of outer birch bark, wherein the betulin from the previously ground outer birch bark is isolated with organic solvents in a closed extraction technological complex with the solvent's recovery and the return of the condensate in the recycle, the extract flow is passed through a crystalliser, and then the extract is passed to an evaporator, a heater and a condenser, and the condensed Solution is introduced to the extractor again. In the crystalliser, the crystalline betulin is settled, but lupeol is isolated by crystallisation from the precipitate in the evaporator. After accomplishing the extraction process, the outer birch bark in the extractor is depolymerised, using KOH.
The proposed method and apparatus enabled realising the complex obtaining of betulin and lupeol, as well as suberin derivatives in the continuous process with the solvent recycle, wherein the yield of betulin and lupeol is enhanced, in comparison with the known methods. Besides, this method made it possible to shorten many times the extraction time, simultaneously enhancing the efficiency
本发明涉及外桦树皮化学处理的方法和设备,旨在获得三萜化合物--白桦脂素和羽扇豆醇以及亚贝壳苷酸,用于化工、制药、食品和化妆品行业。
本发明要解决的技术问题是开发一种简单高效的外桦树皮化学加工方法,在一台设备和一个外桦树皮加工循环中获得白桦脂素、羽扇豆醇和亚贝壳苷酸盐。根据本发明,先进的技术任务是通过一种外桦树皮化学处理方法来实现的,其中,在一个封闭的萃取技术复合装置中,用有机溶剂从先前研磨过的外桦树皮中分离出白桦脂素,溶剂回收,冷凝液循环返回,萃取液流经一个结晶器,然后萃取液流经一个蒸发器、一个加热器和一个冷凝器,冷凝液再次被引入萃取器。在结晶器中,结晶的白桦脂沉淀下来,而羽扇豆醇则在蒸发器中从沉淀中结晶分离出来。完成萃取过程后,使用 KOH 对萃取器中的外层桦树皮进行解聚。
与已知方法相比,所提出的方法和设备能够在溶剂回收的连续过程中实现白桦脂素和羽扇豆醇以及山羊毛脂衍生物的复合提取,从而提高白桦脂素和羽扇豆醇的产量。此外,这种方法还能将萃取时间缩短数倍,同时提高效率。
