Solvent ethanol extraction is often the first step in refinement in order to recover cannabis essential oils containing precious THC, CBD and therpene compounds. The aim of extraction is to produce oils that are free from particulates and that contain the medicinally-relevant compounds (cannabinoids) in a higher concentration than raw cannabis and hemp. In the ethanol extraction process the choice of process parameters will vary depending on starting materials (quality and size) desired end product and other considerations. Ethanol extraction is often used due to its availability, efficiency and relatively safe process.
