DESCRIPTION :

This setup is designed to study the performance characteristics of solvent extraction of particular component from packed bed of solid material . The apparatus allows study of such systems as water / inorganic salts , water /sugar bed , Methylene chloride / vegetable oil etc.The glass column fitted Teflon mesh to support the solid material. The solvent is introduced near the bottom of column and it flow upward counter- currently to solids.

RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS TO BE CARRIED OUT :

• To study equilibrium flash distillationTo study various systems parameters like , solvent temperature, solvent rate and particle on the % recovery of oil from solid. To determine the volume mass transfer coefficient in solid liquid extraction
