Publication number: 20210107884Abstract: A Reflux Rinsing method for purifying crystals using solvent vapor through dynamic equilibrium recrystallization. Feed material having tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is inserted into a reaction vessel having walls, and upper portion, and a lower portion with a bottom surface. The feed material is exposed to a hydrocarbon liquid in the reaction vessel in a quantity sufficient to keep liquid present in equilibrium with gas in the reaction vessel through the recrystallization process, forming a raw extract having THC. The walls and bottom surface of the reaction vessel are coated with raw extract. The reaction vessel is heated and then the heating is discontinued. Vapor/thin-film DER is promoted in the reaction vessel for a predetermined length of time with no solvent reflux, resulting in formation of purified crystals of THC acid under pressure. The hydrocarbon solvent is reclaimed from the reaction vessel, leaving the purified crystals and impurities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Pratt Bethers, David Goodman, III

Patent number: 10526306Abstract: A method for purifying crystals in a glass or metal container. A hydrocarbon is introduced into feed material containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The feed material and hydrocarbon is placed in a glass or metal container. The hydrocarbon is then removed within a few minutes after introduction, leaving at least some hydrocarbon in the feed material. Pressure is allowed to build within the container in an oven or in a jacketed vessel for 2-3 weeks. During this time, THC acid crystals precipitate out and fall to the bottom of the container. The contents of the container are poured into a Buchner funnel and a vacuum is applied thereto in order to pull terpenes into a beaker. The terpenes are placed into an oven in order to purge off any remaining solvent. The funnel is then scraped to acquire THC acid crystals.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Inventors: Pratt Bethers, David Goodman, III
