Is it possible to Decarboxylate in Delta’s FFE45?

The patent has been posted multiple times on this forum

It’s catalytic decarboxylation over an activated alumina column

@Rowan

It’s useful for a lot of different processes- there is a patent that was posted here last May where it is used for selective decarb as a catalyst

I use it as a Wetted top layer on filter stacks when using methanol to winterize crude oil, stops waxes like a brick wall.

@Rowan

Decarb with a catalyst!
You can get some separation of C and T this way too!
(more so a heavier concentration of the T to the first fractions)
all of the oil will contain T but the second fraction is often below .3T if you dial the travel time and temp and solvent ratio right
so you have some compliant full spec crude to play with that has more of an intact terp profile Right off the bat

So running your ethanol or methanol diluted oil through a column of activated alumina, decarboxylates the oils at different rates- the T decarbs more rapidly than the C so it moves through the column faster and elutes first

@Rowan had some similar experiences to what @VerifiedConsultant had to say.
