many parameters affect essential oil yield and chemical composition of aromatic plants. for obtaining the highest quantity and quality of essential oil, it is necessary to know the proper methods of drying and distillation. the aim of this research was to investigate the influence of drying and extraction methods on the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of eucalyptus sargentii...

The compostion of the oils from flower and leaf of Achillea mellifolium L. subsp. mellifolium were collected during the flowering priod from Lar area to Damavand montain, altitude 3400 m in July 2003. The essential oils obtained by different methods of distillation (steam distillation and hydro-distillation), the percentage of oils for flower and leaf by steam distillation were 0.2 and 0.05% an...

This paper presents steam temperature models for steam distillation pilot-scale (SDPS) by comparing Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) versus Multi-Sine (M-Sine) perturbation signal Both perturbation signals were applied to nonlinear steam distillation system to study the capability of these input signals in exciting nonlinearity of system dynamics. In this work, both linear and nonlinear ARX...

eryngium caucasicum trautv. (apiaceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant with about one meter height, an endemic species that has been distributed in the northern parts of iran. the plant leaves are normally used in medicine and food industries in iran.the plant has several medicinal properties including enforcing generative power, diuretic, lenitive and appetizer. in this research differents par...

Exhaustive steam distillation extracted several intermediate molecular weight organic chemicals effectively from rainbow trout, but a high molecular weight organic, benzo[a]pyrene, was not extracted. Fish lipids that do not steam-distill appear to retain extremely lipophilic organics in the boiling flask. Therefore, exhaustive steam distillation should be used cautiously in screening effluents ...

Essential oils are used in a wide variety of consumer goods such as detergents, soaps, toilet products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, confectionery food products, soft drinks, distilled alcoholic beverages (hard drinks) and insecticides. The world production and consumption of essential oils and perfumes are increasing very fast. Production technology is an essential element to improve ...

the use of natural products as medicinal agents presumably predates the earliest recorded history. ocimum sanctum l., is a plant which is used in several traditional medicine systems to cure various diseases. in this study aerial parts of ocimum sanctum were collected on august 2014 from shahr-e-rey in iran. fresh and dry partsof plants essential oils were extracted with hydro-distillation and ...

A new absorption vapor compression distillation was proposed in present research. An open absorption heat transformer has a coupled thermally evaporator and absorber. Distillation of waste water with high content of SiO 2 from heavy oil production. The waste heat of 70 C can be elevated up to 125 C and generate steam of 120 C. The waste heat is able to drive four-effect distillation to produce ...
