Title: The Innovations of Robert Joseph Macomber
Introduction
Robert Joseph Macomber is a notable inventor based in Lincoln, NE (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of supercritical fluid extraction, holding a total of 3 patents. His work has advanced the understanding and application of extraction methods in various industries.
Latest Patents
One of Macomber's latest patents is an apparatus and method for supercritical fluid extraction. This invention aims to prevent deposits on the restrictor that channels extractant into a collector. The design features a heated capillary tube pressure release restrictor, which has a thermally insulated outlet end in a collecting trap that is substantially colder than the capillary tube. The restrictor is heated between the insulation and the capillary tube by Joulean heating. The solvent in the trap operates at a pressure of 5 to 200 psi above atmospheric pressure. The thermal resistance of the insulation is carefully selected to minimize the heat added to the extractant while ensuring that the extractant remains sufficiently hot to avoid freezing when added to the collection solvent. However, it is not heated to a temperature that would reduce the partitioning of the extract and extractant before the extractant exits the collection solvent. The insulation has a thermal conductivity of no greater than 60 BTU's per hour, per square foot, per inch for a one degree Fahrenheit difference.
