METHOD FOR PROCESSING OF CONIFEROUS TREE GREENS AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B01D11/02 A61K36/15 A01N65/00 

FIELD: medicine, perfume and cosmetics production, veterinary and animal farming.

SUBSTANCE: method involves extracting base products from tree greens by exposing to steam; infusing; cooling vapor-and-gas mixture and separating water extract from essential oil; after processing with steam, enriching resulted vapor-and-gas mixture with ferrous iron or ferric iron; periodically subjecting primarily processed raw material to processing with steam and infusion between periods of processing with steam; infusing raw material during periods exceeding duration of processing with steam by at least two times; performing processing with steam and infusion during each period not less than three times. Apparatus for processing of coniferous tree greens has steam generator and extractor connected in series, base product discharge line including cooler, extract collector and reservoirs for base product. Apparatus has one or two additional base product discharge lines and device for enriching resulted mixture with ferrous or ferric iron, said device being positioned between extractor and cooler of first base product discharge line. Each of additional discharge lines has filters and reservoirs for collecting of base products, said filters and reservoirs being connected in series. One of additional lines has cooler positioned in front of filter.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in processing of raw material.
