Plant Oil Extraction

Porous Metal Filters Plant Oil Extraction Applications

Botanical extraction is the process of removing soluble components from a solid plant material. It’s similar to the process of brewing coffee or tea at home. A variety of fields utilize this process, including laboratory sciences, where botanical plant oil extraction creates products we use every day. CBD products and essential oils are two examples of common items that result from botanical plant oil extractions.

Because botanical extraction often involves solid plant materials meeting a solvent, some of the plant materials can make their way into the extract itself, rendering the product impure. Filtering removes plant particulates and clarifies the extract to create a pure final product. Using the tea and coffee example again, you wouldn’t just dump a spoonful of tea leaves or coffee grounds into a cup of water and drink it. Picture botanical extraction filtering as using a tea infuser or placing a coffee filter into your coffee machine. The filtering process creates a pure, high-quality product, whether it’s CBD, essential oils, or another extraction.
