  • What are the independent variables of solvent recovery from soybean oil/hexane miscella?
  • According to the study, temperature and pressure were chosen as the independent variables for the solvent recovery process from the soybean oil/hexane miscella (25/75%, w/w).
  • Can PDMS/PVDF membranes be used to recover hexane from soybean oil?
  • The surface and section of PDMS/PVDF composite membranes were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The PDMS NF (nanofiltration) membranes were then applied in the recovery of hexane from soybean oil/hexane miscellas (1:3, mass ratio).
  • Can hexane be recovered from miscella by membrane separation?
  • Several papers reported recovery of hexane from miscella by membrane separation. In their research UF (untrafiltration), NF (nanofiltration) and RO (reverse osmosis) membrane are tested [4 8], but the results are not satisfactory.
  • Can n-propyl alcohol be used to separate refined soybean oil/n-hexane mixtures?
  • In this work, the separation of refined soybean oil/n-hexane mixtures was investigated using a commercial hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane 50 kDa. Three alcohols with different chain lengths were tested for the conditioning of the membrane; n-propyl alcohol showed the highest n-hexane permeate flux after conditioning.
  • What is the evaporation process of oil & hexane?
  • The sol- vent content of the miscella (mixture of extracted oil and solvent) in the extractor exit is always 70% to 75% (by mass). The miscella is then evaporated to separate the oil and hexane. Since the process involves solvent phase change, the evaporation process requires considerable amount of energy (about 530kJ per kg of hexane) .
  • What is the effect of SEPA GH on oil/hexane miscela flux?
  • SEPA GH has shown a higher oil/hexane miscela flux and a greater retention of oil (67.1%), which occurs under conditions of relatively low pressure (15 bar) and high temperature (45 °C). The permeate resulting from this process has a final oil content of 8.0%, but a low permeate flux (8.2 L m −2 h −1 ).
