Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a matrix of raw materials, also referred to as a poly-grain grind matrix. In some embodiments, the matrix of raw materials may form an interlocking network of varied particle grind sizes that allows the particles to nest and interlock with one another when packed into an extraction vessel, so that most, but not all of the interstitial spacing within the matrix of raw materials is closed. Additionally, the varied particle sizes may be selected by pre-determined weight ranges and size classifications so that the particle grind sizes achieve the desired consistency uniformity. This may allow the network of particles to act as its own best filtering agent during the extraction process. Moreover, the nesting and interlocking network of the particles within the matrix of raw materials may allow the particles to be effectively packed within the extraction column, thus allowing for an efficient and high quality extraction to be performed consistently each and every time.

Claims (47)

1. A method, comprising:

grounding a raw material into a plurality of particles comprising a range of pre-selected particle sizes;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes are selected such that the particles form an interlocking network as the particles nest against each other, thereby decreasing an interstitial spacing within a matrix of the raw materials within an extraction vessel;

packing the ground raw materials into the extraction vessel; and

distributing a flow of pressurized solvent at a base of the extraction vessel to extract the ground raw materials.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes comprises 2 to 7 different particles sizes determined by a weight using 2 to 7 different sieve sizes that correspond with the weight of the particles.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising compressing the ground raw materials packed within the extraction column via hydraulic compression generated from a self-perpetuating energy cycle initiated by catalyzing energy creators within the extraction vessel.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the interstitial spacing after packing the ground raw materials is within the range from one micrometer to 500 micrometers.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising swelling and expanding the particles after heating the ground raw materials with a heated solvent;

wherein swelling and expanding of the particles causes the interstitial spaces to further close such that the interstitial spacing within the raw materials is as small as least 0.1 micron.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the heated solvent is sourced from frictional forces produced by hydraulic compression of the raw materials and catalyzing energy creators generated to form a self-perpetuating energy cycle within the extraction vessel.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising filtering an effluent extracted from the ground raw materials to separate a non-soluble particles from the effluent.

8. A method, comprising:

grounding a raw material into a plurality of particles comprising a range of pre-selected particle sizes;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes are selected such that the particles form an interlocking network as the particles nest against each other, thereby decreasing an interstitial spacing within a matrix of the raw materials within an extraction vessel;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes comprises 2 to 7 different particles sizes determined by a weight using 2 to 7 different sieve sizes that correspond with the weight of the particles;

packing the ground raw materials into the extraction vessel;

distributing a flow of pressurized solvent at a base of the extraction vessel to extract the ground raw materials;

wherein one or more catalyzing energy creators convert energy to heat to achieve a temperature range of 196° to 204° Fahrenheit within the extraction vessel, such that achieving the temperature range allows the ground raw materials to become saturated and reach a point of equilibrium with the flow of pressurized solvent;

swelling and expanding the particles after heating the ground raw materials with a heated solvent; and

wherein swelling and expanding of the particles causes the interstitial spaces to further close such that the interstitial spacing within the raw materials is as small as least 0.1 micron.

9. A method, comprising:

grounding a raw material into a plurality of plurality of particles comprising a range of pre-selected particle sizes;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes are selected such that the particles form an interlocking network as the particles nest against each other, thereby decreasing an interstitial spacing within a matrix of the raw materials within an extraction vessel;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes comprises 2 to 7 different particles sizes determined by a weight using 2 to 7 different sieve sizes that correspond with the weight of the particles;

packing the ground raw materials into the extraction vessel;

distributing a flow of pressurized solvent at a base of the extraction vessel to extract the ground raw materials;

wherein one or more catalyzing energy creators convert energy to heat to achieve a temperature range of 196° to 204° Fahrenheit within the extraction vessel, such that achieving the temperature range allows the ground raw materials to become saturated and reach a point of equilibrium with the flow of pressurized solvent;

swelling and expanding the particles after heating the ground raw materials with a heated solvent;

wherein swelling and expanding of the particles causes the interstitial spaces to further close such that the interstitial spacing within the raw materials is as small as least 0.1 micron; and

wherein the ground raw materials behave as a filtering agent by preventing the non-soluble particles from passing through an opening within the interstitial spacing as the effluent proceeds to pass through the interstitial spacing of the raw materials.

10. A method, comprising:

grounding a raw material into a plurality of particles comprising a range of pre-selected particle sizes;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes are selected such that the particles form an interlocking network as the particles nest against each other, thereby decreasing an interstitial spacing within a matrix of the raw materials within an extraction vessel;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes comprises 2 to 7 different particles sizes determined by a weight using 2 to 7 different sieve sizes that correspond with the weight of the particles;

packing the ground raw materials into the extraction vessel;

distributing a flow of pressurized solvent at a base of the extraction vessel to extract the ground raw materials;

wherein one or more catalyzing energy creators convert energy to heat to achieve a temperature range of 196° to 204° Fahrenheit within the extraction vessel, such that achieving the temperature range allows the ground raw materials to become saturated and reach a point of equilibrium with the flow of pressurized solvent;

swelling and expanding the particles after heating the ground raw materials with a heated solvent;

wherein swelling and expanding of the particles causes the interstitial spaces to further close such that the interstitial spacing within the raw materials is as small as least 0.1 micron; and

wherein the ground raw materials trap or capture a range of 99.9 to 99.999 percent of all the non-soluble particles present within the effluent.

11. A method, comprising:

grounding a raw material into a plurality of particles comprising a range of pre-selected particle sizes;

wherein the range of pre-selected particle sizes are selected such that the particles form an interlocking network as the particles nest against each other, thereby decreasing an interstitial spacing within a matrix of the raw materials within an extraction vessel;

packing the ground raw materials into the extraction vessel;

distributing a flow of pressurized solvent at a base of the extraction vessel to extract the ground raw materials; and

wherein packing the raw materials within the extraction vessel results in a predictable compressibility of the raw material that decreases within a square distance from a point of impact.
