  • Patent number: 8349140
    Abstract: Device to extract organic chemical compounds from particulate material (MP) that comes from atmospheric samples, using solvents heated by the application of focalized microwaves (MW), performed in open systems, which consists of: a magnetron; an electronic control circuit of the magnetron; a distillation flask that holds the solvent with the sample to be heated; a filter for blocking microwaves, which allows getting out the vapor produced by the ebullition of the solvent with the sample to reach a reflux medium that allows condensing that vapor; and a waveguide connected at one extreme with the magnetron and electronic control circuit, and at the other extreme with the distillation flask to be heated, the microwave blocking filter and the reflux medium.

  • Publication number: 20090218051
    Abstract: Device, system and operation method to perform functions in a semiautomatic manner, which permits the most favorable condition to evaporate a plurality of environmental samples that are diluted in solvents, by means of gas sweeping, preferably nitrogen, and a control electronic system that permits the superficial evaporation of the solvent thanks to exposing a cold sample kept at a constant temperature to a controlled gas flux. Furthermore, safety measures are considered to protect the extract, such as: acoustic and luminous signals that inform when it has been reached a critical moment in the process, reduction of gas flux during the last stage of the evaporation and valves to completely shut off the gas flux if a determined time period is exceeded.
