  • How is soybean oil extracted in a continuous and countercurrent process?
  • Extraction of soybean oil in a continuous and countercurrent process. Multistage extraction was experimentally reproduced from batch single-stage assays. The process efficiency was mainly limited by the oil solubility in the solvent. The minimum solvent mass flow and the number of ideal stages were calculated.
  • Can single-batch experimental assays be used for soybean oil extraction?
  • Conclusions It was possible to use single-batch experimental assays in laboratorial-scale to evaluate key parameters for soybean oil extraction using ethanol as solvent. Such parameters may assist the design and development of continuous and countercurrent extractors adopting fixed bed columns in series as contact stages.
  • Which solvent is used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The solvent selection was performed on ethyl acetate and 1-butanol in comparison with ethanol, a well-studied green solvent, and hexane, a non-renewable and industrially used solvent. The effects of temperature and solvent/solid ratio on the yield of soybean oil extraction were investigated through response surface methodology (RSM).
  • Is ethanol a promising solvent for soybean oil extraction?
  • The experimental results were briefly compared with hexane, once this is the solvent industrially used, and ethanol, for being a promising solvent for soybean oil extraction, using the methodologies of solvent selection of Hansen and the prediction of ln (IDAC) using the COSMO-SAC theory.
  • How is oil extracted from soybeans?
  • Due to the moderate oil content (18 – 23%mass) , it is mandatorily recovered from soybeans by solvent extraction . Currently, industries adopt a continuous-countercurrent-multistage extractor for oil extraction from vegetable oilseeds.
  • How do you remove soy oil from soybean oil?
  • The most promising are (a) extraction by an amidine switchable solvent that can then be removed from the soy oil by carbonated water and (b) extraction by a moderately hydrophilic solvent that can then be removed from the oil by water.
