• Will APA invest $10 billion to extract oil from Suriname?
  • (AP Photo/Richard Drew) PARAMARIBO, Suriname (AP) ¡ª France¡¯s TotalEnergies and U.S. hydrocarbon company APA Corp. plan to invest $10 billion to extract oil off the coast of Suriname in a historic investment for the South American country, officials announced Tuesday.
  • Which solvent is used in soybean oil production?
  • Solvent extraction and expelling are the main processes used in soybean oil production. Hexane is currently the leading solvent in extraction , . This solvent has a high solubility for oil extraction, availability, low price, low boiling point, and heat of vaporization .
  • How is soybean processed?
  • Modern soybean processing starts with solvent extraction to obtain crude oil and defatted meal. Most defatted meal is used for animal feed and only a small portion is further processed into different types of soy protein products for human consumption (see Chapter 8). Crude oil contains variable amounts of nontriglyceride materials.
  • What are the sources of wastewater from soy oil processing?
  • 1. Wastewater Control The sources of wastewater from soy oil processing are (I) process wastewater, which has been in contact with oil, (2) noncontact cooling water that is uncontami nated because it has been circulated in pipes, and (3) rainwater runoff, which may have been in contact with contaminated areas (Smallwood 1995).
  • Can green solvents be used in soybean oil extraction?
  • The application of green solvents in soybean oil extraction is reviewed. Hansen parameters and COSMO-based models can serve as a solvent selection tool. Direct substitution of hexane with green solvents is the most promising alternative. Kinetic models and the thermodynamic assessment are analyzed comprehensively.
  • Which mathematical models are applied to soybean oil extraction through immersion and percolation?
  • Another mathematical model was applied to soybean oil extraction through immersion and percolation by Pramparo et al. . Despite not presenting the equations, it is interesting to highlight that all these models have considered the external mass resistance in the form of a general boundary condition given by Eq. (13).
