Seeds contain 49% oil, 40% pulp, 3% mineral salts and the rest moisture, they are leached with hexane as a solvent. Outflow 1 contains 25% hexane, 2.5% salts, 15% oil, and 7.5% moisture. The flow 2 25% of oil which is distilled to recover the pure hexane leaving the oil, water and salts. Flow (1) is taken to a steam distillation where 95% of hexane is recovered. For a base of 100 kg of seeds, calculate: (a) Kg of used hexane, Flow 1 / F and Flow 2 / F (b)% of used hexane that is recovered from flow (2) (c) The percentage of oil recovered

Question

Seeds contain 49% oil, 40% pulp, 3% mineral salts and the rest moisture, they are leached with hexane as a solvent. Outflow 1 contains 25% hexane, 2.5% salts, 15% oil, and 7.5% moisture. The flow 2 25% of oil which is distilled to recover the pure hexane leaving the oil, water and salts. Flow (1) is taken to a steam distillation where 95% of hexane is recovered. For a base of 100 kg of seeds, calculate:

(a) Kg of used hexane, Flow 1 / F and Flow 2 / F

(b)% of used hexane that is recovered from flow (2)

(c) The percentage of oil recovered
