SAFETY

READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING EXPERIMENT

Normal operation of the equipment is not considered hazardous. However, the RECOMMENDED
PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED to be sure that the classroom instruction is performed
under the safest possible conditions. If the student knows and understands the principle and opera-
tion of the parts in the system, it will help him/her to operate the equipment safely.

THE STUDENT SHOULD ALWAYS BE ALERT to experimental procedures which may be a hazard
to the operator or be injurious to the equipment. Every control device and switch has a specific op-
erational application. Be certain that all connections and control settings are carefully managed. NO
SETTINGS SHOULD BE MADE INDISCRIMINATELY.

STUDENTS PERFORMING THE EXPERIMENTS SHOULD BE SUPERVISED. Even the most ex-
perienced student should never be allowed to operate it while alone.

Always have good lighting and ventilation when performing the experiments.

Instruments used in testing, while durable, are sensitive to abuse. When connecting an electrical
instrument into a circuit, make sure that the instrument and its settings are within the voltage and
current range to be applied to the instrument. This will protect the supervisor, the student and the
equipment.

Use extreme CAUTION when making electrical measurements. Remember, it is too late to learn
that a circuit is live after one has touched it. Be certain that the STUDENT knows if the instrument
is on or off at all times. Never handle live circuits when in contact with pipes, other wires, or damp
floors.

Keep the floor clean of debris – oil, water, or other slippery material.

An electrical short across a ring or wristwatch can cause a severe burn. It is best to remove all
watches and jewelry when working on electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT the electrical power source before isolating any component from the instrument.
Lock the switches open to prevent someone from closing them during demonstration or test proce-
dure.

Hands-on experience is an important teaching tool. However, most accidents are the result of
CARELESSNESS - when students are concentrating on their lessons, they tend to momentarily ne-
glect safety. Therefore, like the service technicians, the students must train themselves to do things
safely. They must study the job for its safety problems before starting and think about safety aspects
before each step.

Refer all repairs to qualified personnel.

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The Solid-Liquid Extractor enables the extraction of soluble components in a solid mixture. When
running on a continuous 3-stage mode, the pure solvent (water) is first delivered to a nozzle from a
tank using a feed pump. The solvent is then distributed over the solid mixture, dissolving the soluble
components and carrying them into the collecting segment.

Then, the enriched solvent is carried to the nozzle of the next stage. The solvent, after passing
through the last stage, is collected in the extract tank. A feed mechanism continuously delivers ex-
traction material into the cells of the rotating extractor. The extraction material composes of a mix-
ture of potassium bicarbonate and special carrier material. The solvent and extraction material trav-
els in counter-current flow, with the depleted extraction residue dropping into a tank after one rota-
tion of the extractor.

The extractor can be set to run on either 1, 2 or 3-stage continuous mode by regulating the control
valves. A continuous mode is also possible by stopping the carousel. Three pumps with adjustable
flow rate are supplied for delivering the solvent to each stage. Each stage is also equipped with PID
temperature control with temperature display as well as conductivity meters for monitoring the sepa-
ration process. All measured parameters are displayed on digital meters.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES

• To investigate 1, 2 and 3-stage separation processes
• To determine the effects of revolving speed and extraction material feed rate on the separation
process

THEORY

LS-32 003 SOLIQ LIQUID EXTRACTOR
THEORY
INTRODUCTION

A solid-liquid extraction is also called as Leaching. The principle for leaching is that the soluble com-
pounds of a soli of matter, existing of an inert and the active agent, are extracted by a solvent. The
extract can be included in the extraction matter in solid or liquid form. It can be included in cells like
in oil in oil seeds or as fine dispersion on the solid matter like caffeine in coffee.

The extraction material is no homogeneous substance but exits of a lot of capillaries. The solvent
enter the capillaries and solutes the extract, then produce a high concentration solution. Because of
diffusion a concentration change between the solution in the extraction material and the solution sur-
rounding the solid particles take place. At the end of extraction, the extracted substance still contain
a small amount of solvent. Therefore it is no complete extraction possible practically. The solution
remain in the solid material has the same concentration on active compound as the extract. For
equilibrium, the whole amount of active compound is assumed dissolved in the solvent.

Figure 1: ideal equilibrium

In solid-liquid extraction, sufficient solvent is provided to dissolve all the solute in the entering solid
and there is no adsorption of solute by the solid, equilibrium is attained when the solute is com-
pletely dissolved and the concentration of the solution formed is uniform. In equilibrium system, the
concentration 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

x e = y

TYPE OF EXTRACTOR

Hildebrandt extractor

Figure 2 shows the Hildebrandt extractor. The solid material is extracted according to the immersion
method. Screw converyors are installed in the extractor for transporting the solid material. Again the
solvent flows countercurrent to the solid materials through the extractor.

Figure 2: Hildebrandt extractor

Bonotto extractor
The Bonotto extractor is operate in countercurrent 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 and prevent the flowing out of the solution from the extractor.

Moving bed leaching

Figure 4 showing a typical Rotocell or Carousel extractor. This type of extractor is a continuous sys-
tem. This extractor consists of a fixed tray and a rotating star wheel, which produces the single ex-
traction chamber. The tray rotates slowly about a vertical axis. Solids are admitted to each compart-
ment at he feed point; the compartments then successively pass a number of solvent sprays, a
drainage section, and a discharge point at which the floor of the compartment opens to discharge
the extracted solids. To give countercurrent extraction, the fresh solvent is fed only to the last com-
partment before the discharge point, and the solids in each preceding compartment are washed with
effluent from the succeeding one.

LS-32 003 SOLIQ LIQUID EXTRACTOR

The extraction system comprises of the following compound

• Pure solvent, B
• Inert material (exclude extractable substance), A
• Extractable material, C

The equilibrium is given in the triangle diagram as shown in figure 6. Solvent B and extractable sol-
vent are completely miscible and therefore it is a system with two mixing gaps. The connodes have
to go through point A because extract and solution in the solid particles have the same composition
so that the ration C/B is constant
The minimum amount of solvent is the coming closer of the mixing point to the binodal curve be-
cause all connodes cross in point A.

Figure 7: conductivity versus molarity of potassium bicarbonate

The above is a sample calibration curve for a dilute potassium bicarbonate solution. The horizontal
axis shows the molarities of potassium bicarbonate while the vertical axis is the conductivity of the
solution.

To determine the concentration of a solution, the conductivity value is first measured using the con-
ductivity meter. Then, read off the appropriate curve to determine the concentration.

Example:
For a potassium bicarbonate solution, the conductivity value was found to be 12000µS. The concen-
tration of solution is then approximately 0.862M.

† This calibration curve is valid for the manufacturer’s in-house conductivity meter only.
‡ Temperature has a major effect on conductivity value ensure that the values obtained for each point is at the
same temperature and volume.
