1- Oil is to be extracted from 10,000 lb/h of granulated halibut livers, based on oil-free livers,
which contain 0.043 gal of extractable oil per pound of oil-free livers. It is desired to extract
95% of the oil in a countercurrent extraction system using oil-free diethylether as the solvent.
The final extract is to contain 0.65 gal oil per gal of extract. Assume that the volumes of oil
and ether are additive, and that leaching will be completed in one stage. Although the
experimental underflow data of Ravenscroft show some scatter, use the following smoothed
data to predict underflow rates:
2- Fifty-thousand kglh of flaked soybeans, containing 20 wt% oil, is to be leached of the oil
with the same flow rate of n-hexane in a countercurrent-flow system consisting of an ideal
leaching stage and three ideal washing stages. Experiments show that the underflow from
each stage will contain 0.8 kg liquidkg soybeans (oil-free basis).
