    Soybean Oil Extraction

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Irfan Malik
    Soybean oil is extracted through a process of crushing soybean seeds to break them apart and expose the oil. The seeds are first cleaned, cracked, heated and flaked to increase the surface area. They are then subjected to a solvent extraction process using hexane to dissolve the oil. The extracted flakes are further processed to recover residual solvent before producing soybean meal and refined soybean oil.

    SOYBEAN OIL

    EXTRACTION
    BASIC INTRODUCTION
    ➢First cultivated by Chinese farmers around 1100 BC.
    ➢In 1904 it was discovered that soybeans are a valuable source of
    protein and oil by American chemist.
    ➢Soybean oil is produced by crushing soybean seeds.

    Bucket extractor
    Hexane as solvent
    Process
    ✓ Flakes and solvent are introduces in moving buckets
    ✓ Solvent dissolves oil and then is separated from flakes
    ✓ Solvent is separated by evaporation
    ✓ Remaining solvent content is removed by vacuum
    stripping and flashing
    EXTRACTION THEORY

    Basic principles
    ➢ diffusion of solvent into solid
    ➢ diffusion of oil from the solid particle to the liquid
    ➢ Rate of extraction can be increased by
    Increasing temperature
    1) Increases rate of diffusion
    2) Increases solubility of solvent
    3) Decreases viscosity of oil
    SOLVENT PROPERTIES
    ➢Chemically inert to oil
    Good solubility

    Poor solubility for ➢Low specific heat


    impurities

    ➢Absence of toxicity
    High volatility

    HEXANE
    Low viscosity ➢Commercially available in large
    quantities
    MISELLA EVAPORATION
    ➢ Full misella contains typically 30% FLASH
    oil. Thus, for every ton of crude oil CHAMBER
    some 2.5 tons of solvent must be
    removed.
    HEAT
    ➢FLASHING PHENOMENON

    ➢HEATED MISELLA IS ENTERED INTO


    FLASH CHAMBER AT HIGH PRESSURE

    ➢VAPOURS OF HEXANE ARE SEPARATED

    ➢MISELLA HAVING MORE OIL CONTENT IS


    SENT FOR VACUUM STRIPING
    VACUUME STRIPPING

    ➢FEED IS INTRODUCED AT THE ¾ HEIGHT OF STRIPPER


    ➢SUPER HEATED STEAM IS INTRODUCED FROM THE BOTTOM OF STRIPPER

    ➢SOLVENT VAPORS ARE GATHERED AT THE TOP

    ➢CRUDE OIL IS OBTAINED AT THE BOTTOM OF STRIPPER


    EXTRACTED FLAKES TREATMENT AND SOLVENT RECOVERY

     The spent flakes carry with them about 35% solvent

     The removal and recovery of this portion of the solvent is also


    one of the most critical operations in oil mill practice, since it
    determines
    1. Quality of meal for animals
    2. Economics of industry
    Removal of solvent is so carried out in
    Desolvenizing toaster
    DESOLVENIZING TOASTER
     Consists of a vertical cylindrical stack of compartments or "pans“
     Each compartment is fitted with stirrers or racks attached to a
    central vertical shaft
     Flakes are fed at the top of the desolventizer toaster
    Two methods of heating
    Direct steam heating Indirect steam heating
    transfer of heat to material transfer from pan surface to material
    more efficient in this case less efficient
