Claim 69:
70. A system for converting a cannabinoid into a purified cannabinoid derivative, said system comprising:
a conversion reactor configured with at least one inlet for a starting composition comprising a cannabinoid as well as a solvent comprising a C9-C11 non-aromatic hydrocarbon, wherein said conversion reactor is configured to chemically convert some, but not all, of said cannabinoid to a cannabinoid derivative at a cannabinoid conversion, thereby generating a reaction mixture containing unreacted cannabinoid;
a crystallization unit in flow communication with said conversion reactor, wherein said crystallization unit is configured to cool said reaction mixture to precipitate unreacted cannabinoid out of said reaction mixture, thereby generating a mother liquor containing said cannabinoid derivative;
a solvent recovery unit in flow communication with said crystallization unit, where-in said solvent recovery unit is configured to remove said solvent from said mother liquor to generate a purified cannabinoid derivative; and
one or more heat exchangers configured to heat and/or cool said conversion reactor, said crystallization unit, and/or said solvent recovery unit.
