  • Treatment of spent cannabis biomass with activating agent
    Patent number: 11440801
    Abstract: A process to transform spent cannabis biomass into activated carbon via a treatment involving a chemical activation process. The spent cannabis biomass is mixed with an activating agent and then subjected to a heat treatment. The spent cannabis biomass is heated in stages, the first to remove water and volatile components, and the second to reclaim leftover cannabinoids. During a third, higher temperature stage, the biomass is converted to activated carbon.
    Type: Grant

  • Treatment of spent cannabis biomass
    Patent number: 11292722
    Abstract: Spent cannabis biomass is heated in stages, the first to remove water and volatile components, and the second to reclaim leftover cannabinoids. During a third, higher temperature stage, the biomass is subjected to a CO2 and/or water vapor treatment in order to obtain activated carbon with a desired porosity level.

  • Ultrasonic cannabinoid extraction using non-flammable co-solvent
    Patent number: 10851038
    Abstract: A slurry is made with ground cannabis biomass and a non-flammable co-solvent. The non-flammable co-solvent is made up of water and ethanol. The ultrasonication process extracts cannabinoids by applying ultrasound to the slurry. The slurry is then filtered, optionally centrifuged, and then distilled to obtain cannabinoid oil.

  • Self-locking mounting clip system
    Patent number: 4826115
    Abstract: A system for mounting storage cabinets and the like to a vertical frame comprises a mounting clip that has a plurality of notched angled connectors. The angled connectors are designed to engage cooperating slots in the vertical frame. The angled nature of the connectors requires that the cabinet be moved in three steps to engage the plates and notches with the vertical frame, thereby reducing the risk of the cabinet becoming accidentally dislodged from the frame.
