introduction
natural camphor, also known as right-handed camphor (D-camphor), is a white crystal product extracted from the branches, stems and roots of the Lauraceae plant camphor.
application
D-camphor is also widely used in medicine, chemical industry and defense industry, and is an indispensable and important commodity in the international market.
extract
camphor is extracted from the trunk of camphor trees. the older the tree, the more camphor is rich in. The refining method is to cut the trunk into small pieces and distill it with water. After the camphor oil is heated, it rises with the water vapor. After it comes into contact with the ceramic tank placed above and cools, it can form camphor
Preparation
(1), remove miscellaneous:
Remove impurities from Cinnamomum camphora branches and Cinnamomum camphora leaves for later use;
(2), crushing:
The camphor branches and camphor leaves after removing impurities in step (1) are crushed to obtain granular camphor branches and camphor leaves;
(3), preparation of camphor oil crude oil:
(31) Put the granular camphor branches and camphor leaves obtained in step (2) into the extraction tank and lock the feeding port;
(32) Water vapor is introduced from the bottom to the extraction tank, and the temperature is gradually increased, and finally the extraction temperature is maintained at 95°C, and the extraction is extracted for 6 hours to obtain oil-water mixed steam;
(33) Condensing the oil-water mixed steam obtained in step (32) through a condenser to obtain a milky white oil-water mixture and some crystals;
(34) The oil-water mixture and part of the crystals obtained in step (33) are separated by an oil-water separator to obtain crude camphor oil;
(4), crystallization:
the crude oil of camphor oil obtained in step (34) is placed in a crystallization barrel and crystallized at -15 ℃ for 6 hours to obtain the crystallized camphor oil intermediate;
(5), centrifugation:
the crystallized camphor oil intermediate obtained in step (4) is placed in a centrifuge and centrifuged at 800r /min for 30 minutes to obtain crude camphor and by-products respectively;
(6), preparation of natural camphor
the coarse camphor obtained in step (5) is placed in the sublimation tank, the sublimation tank includes the sublimation tank interlayer and the sublimation tank inner cavity, the temperature of the sublimation tank interlayer is controlled at 220 ℃, the temperature of the sublimation tank inner cavity is 200 ℃, sublimation is 6 hours, and then the natural camphor is obtained after condensation. The yield of natural camphor was 5.00%.
The length of the granular camphor branches and camphor leaves obtained in step (2) is 1cm.
The condensation temperature in step (33) does not exceed 35°C.
Side effects
Camphor is toxic and cannot be eaten directly.
For patients with glucose hexaphosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (commonly known as fava bean disease), it is recommended not to contact or use drugs other than camphor (camphor).
