Description
This Solid Liquid Extraction Unit is
designed for students demonstration on the
extraction process whereby components can
be selectively extracted from solid mixtures
using a suitable solvent.
This unit consists of:
• Rotating Extractor
• 3 sets of solvent delivery system
• Input Hopper
Experimental capabilities:
• Demonstration of continuous multi-stage solid-liquid
extraction operation
• Demonstration of open (continuous) and closed
(batch) loop percolation extraction
• Comparison of one, two and three stage continuous
processes
• Effects of solvent flow rate, processing time and
solvent feed temperature on the extraction efficiency
• Process economics
• Mass balance analysis
