Calculations involve three
component (solid, solvent,
solute) systems.
GENERALLY, THE PROCESS
CAN BE CONSIDERED IN
THREE PARTS:
In the metals industry for In the sugar industry In the oilseed industry for
removing mineral from ores for removing sugar removing oil from
(acid solvents). from beets (water is soybeans, etc. (hexane or
solvent). similar organic solvents).
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE RATE
OF EXTRACTION
PROCESSE
ENRICHMENT PROCESS:
S AND This method is used if the raw
material offers the necessary percolation
APPARATU properties. In most cases the solvent flows
counter current to the underflow through
S the apparatus and by this way very high
concentrations of the extract in the
miscella are performed.

The extractor has a volume of

CONTINUOUS
EXTRACTION
PERCOLATING
PROCESS
The solvent passes through the non
moving solid material and extracts
the soluble substances. The basic for
this process is that the material has
good percolating properties, which
means that the solvent can pass
easily the solid material.
IMMERSION METHOD
EXTRACTOR
HILDEBRAN
DT
EXTRACTOR
The solid material is extracted
according to the immersion
method. Screw conveyors are
installed in the extractor for
transporting the solid material.
Again, the solvent flows counter
current to the solid materials
through the extractor.
Continuous
Extraction
BONOTTO
EXTRACTOR
used for counter current extraction following the immersion
method. The solid material is transported by the mixer on the
tray until it reaches the open sector where the solid material
falls down on the next tray. The screw conveyor at the outlet
withdraws the extracted solid material (underflow) and
prevents the following out of the solution from the extractor.

The fresh solvent is added during
the upward movement of the
baskets so that this part operates
counter current.
The solid material is

withdrawn is used as
filtration step, whre fine
particles are separated
from the extract solution.
ROTOCELL- OR
CAROUSEL
EXTRACTOR
This extractor exists of a fixed tray
and of a rotating star wheel, which
produces the single extraction
chambers.
This extractor exists of a frame belt
LURGI EXTRACTOR which lays in the upper and lower
section of the extractor on a sieve
belt.
The input of the solid material is
done by a pressure lock and the
DESMET solid material lay on a sieve belt.
