Process for distillative separation of substances by means of a carrier gas

CTCN Keyword Matches

Distillative separation particularly of thermolabile volatile substances is often associated with a significant reduction in quality due to the thermal degradation of the substances being distilled. For example many substances containing plant matter such as essential oils can scarcely be distilled without degradation. State-of-the-art distillation methods are based mainly on steam distillation as a carrier steam distillation for primary extraction which merely results in a complex mixture of substances as essential oil.

Benefits
