AEROSOL GENERATING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18008841 titled 'AEROSOL GENERATING APPARATUS
The abstract describes an aerosol generating apparatus that utilizes supercritical extraction to extract an extraction component from raw materials such as tobacco or aromatic plants. The extracted component is collected by a collection unit, with an inlet part serving as a path for the extraction component to enter the collection unit. The apparatus includes a heating unit to heat the extraction and collection units, all housed within a body part.
- Supercritical extraction unit extracts extraction component from raw materials using supercritical fluid
- Collection unit collects the extraction component discharged from the extraction unit
- Inlet part serves as a path for the extraction component to enter the collection unit
- Heating unit heats the extraction and collection units
- All components are housed within a body part
Potential Applications: - Production of aerosols for various industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food - Extraction of specific components from raw materials for research and development purposes
Problems Solved: - Efficient extraction of desired components from raw materials - Controlled collection of extraction components for further processing
Benefits: - Precise extraction of components without the use of solvents - Versatile application in different industries due to the customizable nature of the extraction process
Commercial Applications: - Pharmaceutical companies can use this technology for drug delivery systems - Cosmetic companies can extract natural fragrances for perfumes and skincare products
Questions about the technology: 1. How does supercritical extraction differ from traditional extraction methods? 2. What are the advantages of using supercritical fluid for extraction processes?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing research on optimizing the parameters of supercritical extraction for maximum efficiency and yield.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an aerosol generating apparatus, including: a supercritical extraction unit that includes at least one of tobacco and aromatic plant as a raw material, and extracts an extraction component from the raw material by a supercritical fluid; a collection unit that collects the extraction component discharged from the supercritical extraction unit as a collection material; an inlet part that is disposed between the supercritical extraction unit and the collection unit and serves as a path through which the extraction component is introduced from the supercritical extraction unit into the collection unit; a heating unit that heats at least one of the supercritical extraction unit and the collection unit, and a body part in which the supercritical extraction unit, the collection unit, the inlet part, and the heating unit are disposed.
