  • Is adsorption a viable alternative to distillation of vegetable oil?
  • Deacidification of a vegetable oil by extraction and regeneration of the solvent by means of adsorption was studied. This novel approach to solvent regeneration is posed as an alternative to distillation in systems with high solvent-to-feed ratios in which evaporation of large solvent amounts is economically unattractive.
  • What are alternative methods of solvent extraction?
  • Several techniques, alternative to the conventional caustic or steam distillation methods, are suggested in the literature, such as supercritical extraction, membrane technology and solvent extraction. In the present paper we discuss the main aspects related to the solvent extraction technique, coupled or not with the conventional methods.
  • Does liquid–liquid extraction process allow the deacidification of palm oil?
  • Table 5 shows that liquid–liquid extraction process allowed the deacidification, promoting the attainment of a refined palm oil containing a free acidity of 0.14 mass% in solvent free-basis, and maintaining a significant level of carotenoids.
  • What is posed oil deacidification?
  • Acidified sunflower oil, methanol and activated carbon are used as feedstock, extraction solvent and adsorbent, respectively. The posed oil deacidification scheme is thought to be useful for applications in the biodiesel and technical oils industry.
  • What is an example of deacidification of sunflower oil?
  • An example was chosen of deacidification of sunflower oil by extraction with methanol and regeneration of the alcohol by adsorption over activated carbon. The example has application for the biodiesel and technical oils industries.
  • What are the alternatives to deacidification of palm oil?
  • The deacidification of oils by liquid–liquid extraction using an appropriate solvent, such as ethanol, can be an alternative technique for refining palm oil.
