专利说明:
The invention relates to a process for the purification of tea using supercritical gas, in particular carbon dioxide. The aim of the invention is to reduce energy costs. The method consists in that the adsorbent, in particular activated carbon, is dispersed in the extraction material in an amount of 5-40% by weight, calculated on the weight of dry tea. It is established that using this method, the extraction time to a certain degree of decaffeination can be significantly reduced, respectively, the amount of carbon dioxide used can be significantly reduced. In addition, the tea obtained by the proposed method is almost the same in taste and aroma as tea, in which case the extraction of caffeine and the separation of caffeine with help. The adsorbent is produced separately. When using the adsorbent in an amount of less than 5 wt.%, Coffee adsorption cm Yin in the adsorbent is insufficient, and the extracted tea as a result of this is characterized by an undesirably high final caffeine content. The use of an adsorbent in an amount of more than 40 is economically disadvantageous. Since in this case only slightly higher is achieved: degree of adsorption, on the other hand, an excess amount of adsorbent is a ballast material that takes place in an extraction autoclave. Activated carbon is preferably used as an adsorbent, however, other adsorbing agents, such as ion exchangers, kieselguhr, zeolites, or activated alumina, can also be used. Uniform dispersion of the adsorbent in the extraction material can be produced in various ways. For example, before loading into an autoclave, tea is mixed with an adsorbent until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, and conventional technical devices can be used for this purpose. In addition, it is possible to fill the autoclave with layers, in which case the autoclave is alternately charged with tea and an adsorbent. In both embodiments of the process, it is advantageous that the carbon dioxide current, before leaving the autoclave, passes through the loading of the pure adsorbent once more, with the result that the remaining caffeine is removed from the gas stream. In these embodiments of the method after extraction, the adsorbent must be separated from the decaffected tea. This operation can be carried out using such conventional separation methods as cyclone separation, air separation, sieve separation or electrofiltration. In order to achieve an optimal separation, it is most preferable that the grain size of the adsorbent is significantly different from the particle size of the tea. This position is usually observed when the adsorbent grains have a relatively large diameter. On the other hand, as the particle size increases, the specific surface area decreases, which is negative. 0 is related to adsorption activity. Therefore, preferably the average grain size should be 0.1-10 mm. In order to facilitate the subsequent separation of the adsorbent, it is also possible to limit the particles of the adsorbent to such materials that cannot prevent the transfer of carbon dioxide current, but prevent the adsorbent from entering the extraction space. The adsorbent can be placed, for example, in a container that can be flushed with carbon dioxide through a suitable sieve or hole. This capacity may be. rigidly fixed in an autoclave and, using an appropriate device, can be filled before and after extraction, respectively, emptied, or when filled with an autoclave, such containers can be dug evenly distributed in the packed material. In accordance with another embodiment of the process, the adsorbent is enclosed in a textile material. The adsorbent is placed in bags, bags or sleeves, which are then evenly distributed inside the extraction material or arranged in layers therein. It is necessary that the size of the holes of the fabric be large enough for unhindered entry and exit of the current of carbon dioxide, yo be less than the diameter of the particles of the adsorbent and prevent the exit of these particles. 0 Another embodiment of the construction is that the adsorbent is surrounded by a porous inorganic carrier, for example, porous clay or POROUS; graphite, which makes it possible for gas to come in contact with activated carbon, but prevents it from contacting activated carbon. The method can be applied both with axial and radial passage of supercritical gas in an autoclave. In this case, it is necessary that the containers filled with the adsorbent should be optimally located in the loaded material, 5 In the process of decaffeinating tea, it is sufficient to extract within 1-4 hours. 0 five five 0 By applying the proposed method, the amount of carbon dioxide can be significantly reduced. Essentially, from 0.1 to 3 kg of carbon dioxide per gram of caffeine removed from tea is used for extraction. Using this extraction method, it is possible to organize the decaffeination process much more economically. Due to the short extraction time (1-4 hours) and the use of a relatively small amount of carbon dioxide, significantly higher productivity can be achieved. In addition, the cost of instrumentation is very small, since the extraction and addendum of caffeine can be produced by the device, The method is illustrated by the following winners. . Example 1. D kg of a conventional mixture of black tea with a caffeine content of 2.9% is mixed with 10% by weight of activated carbon (grain diameter 1–3 mm) 5 after which the mixture is moistened with 40% by weight of water. Then, the mixture is loaded into a cylindrical extraction autoclave and immediately after this, extraction is carried out for 2-h with moist synthetic carbon dioxide at 260 bar and 63 ° C (flow rate of gaseous carbon dioxide 200 kg / h). After the tea is separated from the activated carbon by air separation, the tea is dried. The caffeine content in tea is 05.48% 51, which corresponds to an extraction degree of 83.5%. Example 2-8 kg of the same tea blend is mixed with 25 of the same grains of activated carbon, after which the mixture is moistened with 40% by weight of water. Extraction is carried out by analogy with that described in Example 1, however, carbon dioxide consumption is halved and extraction time is 1 hour. After separating the mixture and drying tea, the caffeine content in tea is 0.21% (extraction degree 92.8 %). Thus, by increasing the amount of activated carbon by half, the extraction time can be reduced while obtaining the best result, and her s ten 15 20 25 5230426 at the same time, the specific consumption of carbon dioxide is reduced by 1/8 (calculated on the weight of tea). Example 3. A standard mixture of black tea under the conditions of Example 1 is moistened, mixed with activated charcoal and extracted. The tea is separated from the activated carbon by air separation. The mixture is loaded into a cylindrical glass tube and air is blown from below. The air flow is controlled so that the tea is carried out of the glass tube and precipitated in the cyclone, and the activated bead pops up no higher than half the glass tube. After separation, the tea is free of activated carbon as well. The content of particles in the activated carbon as a result of sorting is 8%. Example 4. A standard mixture of black tea with a caffeine content of 3.1% is mixed with 30% fine-grained activated carbon and moistened with 40% water. The mixture is loaded into a loading box with a perforated wall. In the middle of the loading box, a vertical perforated tube, additionally sheathed with a sieve cloth, is installed so that its upper end can be connected to the sleeve with the gas outlet of the extraction vessel. During extraction, carbon dioxide under a pressure of 30 MPa: and at 60 ° C passes out through the mixture of tea with activated carbon and leaves it through a centrally installed tube. Extraction is stopped after 1.5 h. The mixture is dried and the activated carbon is sieved through a sieve with a cell diameter of 0.8 mm. The tea contains 0.29% caffeine and is free from activated carbon, and the activated carbon contains 13% of fine fractions, which are by air separation method. Example 5-6 kg of a standard mixture of black tea with a caffeine content of 2.9% is moistened with 40% water and divided into three equal portions. Three times 700 g of granular charcoal is loaded into a bag of filter cloth and six fractions starting, loaded into a loading box, and the bags with activated carbon are placed tightly against the wall. Filled with 30 35 40 45 50 55 but the loading box is placed in an autoclave and extracted for 2j5 h with carbon dioxide at 28 MPa and 65 ° С (consumption of CO 200 kg / h) ,. The carbon dioxide gas passing through the autoclave passes through a separation stage, in which, after the test, there is 4.2 g of caffeine, i.e. 2.6% in terms of extracted amount of caffeine “After the experiment, the layers of tea are mixed and dried. The caffeine content is 0.17%, An example of a bobkg standard black tea mixture with a caffeine content of 2.9% is moistened with 40% water and divided into three equal portions. Three times 700 grams of crushed activated carbon are poured into a bag of filter cloth HJ starting from six lobes, loaded with tea into the loading box5, and bags containing activated carbon must lie against the walls. - The loaded loading box is placed in an autoclave and using CO at 280 bar and 65 ° C, extraction is carried out for 2.5 hours (CO consumption 200 kg / h). CO entering from the autoclave is directed through a precipitating cascade S in which, after the experiment, caffeine was detected in an amount of 4.2 g, i.e. 25.6% based on the amount of caffeine extracted. The layers of tea after the experiment are cleaned and you | are narrowed down. The caffeine content is 0517%. Example 7. The process is carried out analogously to example 5, but 1.1 kg of activated carbon is placed in the uppermost bag. The results for tea are almost identical, while 0.8 kg of caffeine was found in the precipitating cascade, that is, 0.5% in terms of caffeine extracted. Example 8 A mixture of activated carbon and tea is dried and sieved through a sieve with cells of 0.25 mm. The separated activated carbon contains about 10% of the fine fractions of tea, and the tea is practically free from impurities. Example 9. A mixture of balls ten 15 20 25 thirty 35 40 45 50 The mixture of tea and activated carbon in accordance with Example 1. After extraction with help, the air flow is directed through two cyclones of various sizes connected in series. Since the particle density is not the same, almost exclusively tea is separated in one cyclone, and in the other cyclone, activated carbon with a content of ca 4.7% is released from the mainstream. Example P. Separation of tea and activated carbon with an electrostatic precipitator. The mixture of tea and activated carbon in accordance with example D after extraction and suge is directed with using an upward flow of air through an electrostatic precipitator. After a surge voltage of 6 kV / cm between the discharge electrode and the precipitating electrode, the tea is completely retained on the precipitation electrode and can be diverted downwards periodically and the activated carbon is directed by air flow through an electrostatic precipitator and then separated from the air in the cyclone. Example 12 7 kg of a conventional mixture of black tea with a caffeine content of 2.9% is mixed with 40% by weight of activated carbon (grain diameter 1-3 mm) and moistened with 40% weight by weight of water. The mixture is placed in a cylindrical extrusion autoclave and immediately after that extracted. wet supercritical CO at 28 MPa and 60 C for 3 h with a total of 25 kg COg. (throughput of COg. 8.33 kg / h), and CO gas, continuously flows from bottom to top in the axial direction and continuously. It is fed into the cycle, so that it is recycled through the already extracted tea. At the end of the extraction, the extraction tank is emptied and the extracted tea is separated by winding from activated carbon and dried immediately after that.

At the end of the extraction and separation of the extracted tea, the activated carbon is separated from the tea by spinning. The caffeine content in tea is 0.06%, which corresponds to an extraction degree of 97.9%. The amount of CO gas is thus 2.82 kg / g. extracted caffeine.
