Roses have become people's favorite aromatic plants because of their bright colors and pure fragrance. The extraction of rose essential oil originated in ancient times. First, flowers are soaked in water to extract effective components. With the development of science and technology, the technology of distilling roses with steam to obtain essential oil appeared.
Put the roses and water in a steamer according to the ratio of 1:4 and heat them with indirect steam. When the temperature rises to 70-80℃, direct steam is introduced to boil for about 30-40 minutes, and distillation is continued for 2.5-3 hours. The effluent is controlled at 1-2 times of the flower weight, and the distillation speed is 8-65438 times of the steamer volume.
The oil-water separator separates the effluent from the saturated distilled water of rose oil and takes out the rose oil. Saturated distilled water flows into the redistilling column through the oil-water separator under the effect of height difference, is heated and redistilled by the steam rising from the steamer, and then returns to the oil-water separator through the condenser, and is repeatedly distilled and redistilled.
