Method for restructuring solvent for extraction purposes
A system and method are provided for extracting compounds from raw materials packed into an extraction column. The system may include a flowing solvent source connected to an extraction column to provide a flow of solvent for extracting the raw materials. The system may also include an electrodeionizer to separate positive ions and negative ions within the flowing solvent to create an imbalance of ions and transform the solvent to a deionized solvent. In further embodiments, the extraction column includes a solvent surface layer in contact with a bed of raw materials, such that the hydraulic pressure applied within the extraction column results in the formation of catalyzing energy to generate a self-perpetuating energy cycle to extract the raw materials.
1. A method for extracting compounds from a raw material, comprising:
flowing a solvent into an electrodeionizer to separate positive ions and negative ions within the solvent to create an imbalance of ions and transform the solvent to a deionized solvent;
extracting the raw material with the deionized solvent in an extraction column; and
releasing carbon dioxide as the raw materials compress via hydraulic forces, wherein the carbon dioxide expands from thermal energy;
wherein the deionized solvent attempts to restore the imbalance of ions by extracting a compound from the raw material.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deionized solvent comprises an ionic purity level with a range from 1-20 mΩ.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deionized solvent comprises a highest ionic purity level of 18.2 mΩ.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising penetrating the raw materials with the deionized solvent, such that the deionized solvent is propelled upward by hydraulic forces driven by inertia to penetrate the raw materials for extracting.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising releasing thermal energy generated from frictional forces as the deionized solvent penetrates and compresses the raw material.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carbon dioxide expands laterally causing interstitial spacing within the raw material to further close, causing the deionized solvent to penetrate further into the raw materials so that the solvent may flow through the raw materials and narrowed interstitial spacing to restore the imbalance of ions by extracting the compound from the raw material.
