Spherules Having Multifold Applications
A process for converting sticky, non-porous and compact physical form of wax into free flowing, non-sticky and porous spherules without affecting its chemical properties. The process comprises of dissolving wax in a solvent at higher temperature; adding inert adsorbent to the wax solution and loading wax onto adsorbent toform highly loaded spherules; forming a semi-solid mass by cooling the above mixture under stirring; removing residual solvent under vacuum and drying the highly loaded spherules. These highly loaded spherules have larger surface area for faster extraction; high porosity that helps in better diffusivity of supercritical fluid leading to efficient extraction; are non-sticky and free flowing that helps in better packaging of extraction device and easy cleaning of extraction device thus preventing cross contamination in successive experiments. The highly loaded spherules formed act as a feed for the supercritical fluid extraction of one or more components of wax having pharmaceutical, cosmoceutical, nutraceuticals, diagnostic and agricultural applications.
