� Leaching / solid extraction – methods of
removing one constituent from a solid by
means of a liquid solvent.
� Examples:
1. Making coffee from ground coffee beans
and tea from tea leaves. (The complex mixture of chemicals that give coffee
and tea their odor, taste, and physiological effects
are leached from the solid by hot water)
2. Extraction of oil from soybean flakes
3. Extraction of coconut milk from coconut
� The amount of soluble material removed is
often greater than in ordinary filtration
washing.
� The coarse, hard or granular feed solids may
disintegrate in pulp or mush when their
content of soluble material is removed.

STATIONARY SOLID BEDS
It is done in a tank with a perforated false bottom to support the solids and permit drainage of the solvent. Solids are loaded into the tank, sprayed with solvent until their solute content is reduced to the economical minimum. In some cases the rate of solution is so rapid that one passage of solvent through the material is sufficient, but countercurrent flow of the battery of tanks are more common. A series of tank is called as extraction battery. [The solid in any one tank is stationary until it is completely extracted]
Shanks process – other tanks in the battery are kept in countercurrent operation by advancing the inlet and draw off tanks one at a time as the material is charged and removed. Diffusion battery – A series of such pressure tanks operated in countercurrent solvent flow.

� The buckets are loaded with flaky solids such as soybeans.
� The solids are sprayed with appropriate amount of half miscella as they travel downward.
� Half miscella is the intermediate solvent containing some extracted oil and some small solid particles.
� As solids and solvent flow concurrently down the right-hand side of the machine, the solvent extracts more oil from the beans.

� A horizontal basket is divided into walled compartments with a floor that is permeable to the liquid.
� The basket rotates slowly about a vertical axis.
� Solid are admitted to each compartment at feed point.
� The compartments then pass a number of solvent sprays, a drainage section and a discharge point.
� To give countercurrent extraction, the fresh solvent is fed only to the last compartment before the discharge point.

IDEAL STAGES IN COUNTERCURRENT LEACHING

� Equilibrium is attained when the solute is
completely dissolved and the concentration of the
solution so formed is uniform.
� The concentration of the liquid retained by the
solid leaving any stage is the same as that of the
liquid overflow from the same stage.
� The equilibrium relationship is simply xe = y.
EQUILIBRIUM

Total solution:
Solute:
Operating line equation:
� As usual, the operating line passes through the points (xa, ya) and
(xb, yb), and if the flow rates are constant, the slope is L/V.

CONSTANT AND VARIABLE
UNDERFLOW � Two cases are to be considered.
� If the density and viscosity of the solution change considerably with solute concentration, the solids from the lower-numbered stages may retain more liquid than those from the higher-numbered stages.
� As shown in Eq. 23.3, the slope of the operating line varies from unit to unit.
� If the mass of solution retained by the solid is independent of concentration, then Ln is constant and the operating line is straight. – called as constant solution underflow.
� If the underflow is constant, so is the overflow.
� Constant underflow and variable underflow are given separate consideration.

QUESTION 1
EXAMPLE 23.1.
Oil is to be extracted from meal by means of benzene using a continuous countercurrent extractor. The unit is to treat 1,000 kg of meal (based on completely exhausted solid) per hour. The untreated meal contains 400 kg of oil and is contaminated with 25kg of benzene. The fresh solvent mixture contains 10kg of oil and 655 kg of benzene. The exhausted solids are to contain 60kg of unextracted oil. Experiments carried out under conditions identical with those of the projected battery show that the solution retained depends on the concentration of the solution, as shown in Table 23.1.
![Page 24: CHAPTER 5: SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LEACHING)libvolume2.xyz/chemicalengineering/btech/semester6/m… · · 2015-01-03CHAPTER 5: SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LEACHING) ... Leaching](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052117/5ab13fb37f8b9ad9788c0c89/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Find:
(a) the concentration of the strong solution, or extract;
(b) the concentration of the solution adhering to the extracted solids;
(c) the mass of solution leaving with the extracted meal;
(d) the mass of extract;
(e) the number of stages required.
All quantities are given on an hourly basis.
![Page 25: CHAPTER 5: SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LEACHING)libvolume2.xyz/chemicalengineering/btech/semester6/m… · · 2015-01-03CHAPTER 5: SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LEACHING) ... Leaching](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052117/5ab13fb37f8b9ad9788c0c89/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Solution
Let x and y be the mass fractions of oil in the underflow and
overflow solutions. At the solvent inlet,
Determine the amount and composition of the solution in the spent
solids by trial. If Xb = 0.1, the solution retained, from Table 23.1, is
0.505 kg/kg. Then;
![Page 26: CHAPTER 5: SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LEACHING)libvolume2.xyz/chemicalengineering/btech/semester6/m… · · 2015-01-03CHAPTER 5: SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LEACHING) ... Leaching](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052117/5ab13fb37f8b9ad9788c0c89/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
From Table 23.1, the solution retained is 0.507 kg/kg:
Benzene in the underflow at Lb is 507 - 60 = 447 kg/h.
At the solid inlet,

e) Determine the inlet and exit concentrations for the first stage and
locate the operating line for the remaining stages.
Since x1 = ya = 0.60, solution retained is 0.595 kg/kg solid.
Overall material balance:
Oil balance:

� The point x1 = 0.60, y2 = 0.408 is at one end of the operating line
for the remaining stages.
