In alternative embodiments, provided are processes for obtaining or purifying a substantially pure Δtetrahydrocannabinol (ΔTHC) and/or Δtetrahydrocannabinol (ΔTHC) and optionally a plurality of cannabinoids or terpenes from a natural or a synthetic source, wherein the natural or the synthetic source comprises a cannabidiol (CBD) and optionally a plurality of cannabinoids or terpenes. Also provided are processes comprising the continuous isolation and purification of cannabinoids or terpenes, and further isomerization of the purified cannabidiol to Δtetrahydrocannabinol (ΔTHC) and Δtetrahydrocannabinol (ΔTHC). In alternative embodiments, provided are processes for converting Δ8-THC into Δ-THC. In alternative embodiments, provided are processes for the industrial scale continuous isolation and purification of cannabinoids and further isomerization of the purified cannabidiol to Δ-THC.

In alternative embodiments, provided are processes comprising the continuous isolation and purification of cannabinoids and further isomerization of the purified cannabidiol to &#x394;tetrahydrocannabinol (&#x394;THC) and &#x394;tetrahydrocannabinol (&#x394;THC). In alternative embodiments, provided are processes for converting &#x394;8-THC into &#x394;-THC. In alternative embodiments, provided are processes for the industrial scale continuous isolation and purification of cannabinoids and further isomerization of the purified cannabidiol to &#x394;-THC.

A shallow bed solvent extractor comprises at least one moving bed having upstream and downstream ends and a feed inlet positioned adjacent to the upstream end, wherein a first batch of wet cannabinoid and terpene containing material is introducible to the at least one moving bed through the feed inlet. An outlet is positioned adjacent to the downstream end, wherein the first batch of wet cannabinoid and terpene containing material is carried on the at least one moving bed and exits the extractor through the outlet. A drive system is operatively connected to the at least one moving bed. The shallow bed solvent extractor further comprises a plurality of sprayers disposed above the upstream and downstream ends of the at least one moving bed and a non-polar solvent. The plurality of sprayers spray the first batch of wet cannabinoid and terpene containing material with the non-polar solvent.

In alternative embodiments, provided herein are methods and industrial processes for generating high purity (high alpha cellulose) pulp from lignocellulosic feedstocks, comprising directly contacting a lignocellulosic feedstock with a system comprising a super critical or near-super critical fluid or mixture of fluids, whereby the partial pressure of the system provides for the alcoholysis, hydrolysis or a combination thereof of the feedstock at reduced temperatures and pressures, followed by an upgrading step wherein a low-purity cellulosic material generated in the super critical or near-super critical reaction step is treated with an alkaline solution. Also provided herein are systems and methods for producing a high purity cellulose material using reduced amounts of alkaline material.

Methods for the production of high alpha-cellulose pulp

The present invention relates to a process for generating glucose and glucose derivatives from the direct contacting of cellulose, hemicelluloses and/or polysaccharides with a mixed super critical fluid system of alcohol and water whereby the partial pressure of the system provides for both alcoholysis and hydrolysis of the material to generate primarily glucose, and glucose derivatives.

Mixed super critical fluid hydrolysis and alcoholysis of cellulosic materials to form alkyl glycosides and alkyl pentosides

This invention generally relates to the isolation of molecules exhibiting vitamin E activity, e.g. tocopherols and/or tocotrienols, from mixed lipid feedstocks. In alternative embodiments, the inventions provides methods and industrial processes for isolating vitamin E molecules, including tocopherols and/or tocotrienols, from mixed lipid feedstocks by combining the feedstock with an alcohol and reacting the mixture at or above the critical point of the alcohol, and then optionally separating the products into discreet fractions.

Methods for the separation or purification of vitamin E, tocopherols and tocotrienols from lipid mixtures

This invention generally relates to the production of free fatty acids and/or derivatives thereof, e.g. fatty acid alkyl esters, from soapstock comprising soaps (salts of fatty acids). In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods and industrial processes for generating free fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives from a soapstock comprising soaps by combining the feedstock with one or more reactants to form a reaction mixture and reacting the mixture at a temperature and pressure sufficient to provide for the acidification of the soaps.
