  • crude soybean oil production line for solvent extraction design
  • Which solvent is used in soybean oil production?
  • Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production. Hexane is currently the leading solvent in extraction , . This solvent has a high solubility for oil extraction, availability, low price, low boiling point, and heat of vaporization .
  • 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 green solvents be used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The application of green solvents in soybean oil extraction is reviewed. Hansen parameters and COSMO-based models can serve as a solvent selection tool. Direct substitution of hexane with green solvents is the most promising alternative. Kinetic models and the thermodynamic assessment are analyzed comprehensively.
  • Can design variables affect the performance of a soybean oil extraction process?
  • A systematic model based methodology has been developed and its application highlighted through the solvent recovery section of a soybean oil extraction process, with emphasis on the effect of design variables on the process performance. First, the most representative compounds present in the vegetable oil were defined.
