  • Which organic solvent is used in palm oil mill effluent?
  • CONCLUSION of oil and grease in palm oil mill effluent. This was reflected by the above results obtained after several batches of experiments. The results showed that n-hexane is the best organic solvent to ether, pentane and n-heptane. By using n-hexane as the solvent, it is estimated that about 0.54
  • Can palm oil be extracted using supercritical fluid extraction?
  • In general, extraction of palm oil from palm fruit and pressed fibre using supercritical fluid extraction has been explored. However, a full investigation about total oil yield, co-extracted water, carotenoids and tocochromanols in the extracted and the residue oil in a single run has not been fully reported.
  • Can palm oil be milled without water?
  • Results: A combined process of microwave pretreatment and solvent extraction to mill crude palm oil, without introducing water or steam, is described. An excellent yield (up to 30%) of oil was obtained with pretreatment in a 42 L, 1000 W and 2450 MHz microwave oven followed by hexane extraction.
  • How was palm mesocarp extracted?
  • A Soxhlet extraction was used to extract the total oil of the original palm mesocarps and the residual fibres. Hexane was used as the extraction solvent. The extraction time was 8 h. Dead-Stop Titrator TR 52 (Schott, Hofheim, Germany) was used to determine the water concentration from the supercritical extracts.
