![Carbon in the Cannabis Extraction Industry | Learn How Carbon is Used & What To Look Out For!
Have you ever wondered how carbon is used in the extraction industry? In this video, Dr. Jon and Doug Fryer explore their experiences and applications of carbon in cannabis extraction. Well also be discussing extractables and leachables in relation to carbon, as well as touch on why not to use carbon to filter with solvents like ethanol. Plus, well cover topics such as the impurity profile solution, GRAS status of carbon, different types of carbon and their byproducts, perfluoroelastomers, and more. Tune in for an engaging look into everything you need to know about carbon in the extraction industry!

![10 Reasons Ethanol Extraction is Better than CO2 Extraction!?
Ethanol extraction is a better method than CO2 extraction... right? Well, maybe not. The fact of the matter is that ethanol extraction is common in the hemp and botanical industry because it is a powerful and effective solvent. This may be great, but there are underlying issues that are disregarded by extractors and overlooked by consumers too. These issues range from operating costs, to unsafe products and much more.
Food grade ethanol has been used for decades as a proper solvent to extract things like vanilla, essential oils and other consumable products. However, the same cannot be said for the hemp and botanical extraction industry. Due to its high cost, denatured ethanol is often used instead of food grade ethanol by many extractors. This opens the door for chemical denaturant residuals left in a final product for consumption. Not to mention, even denatured ethanol is vastly more expensive than CO2 in long term production. So, is ethanol really the best extraction solvent?
Dr. Jon takes 10 common reasons why ethanol is better than CO2 and debunks them one by one. Dr. Jon covers it all from residual denaturants, long-term costs, scalability and why these 10 reasons are not as true as they seem.
