Economic feasibility analysis of soybean oil production
This study focuses on the typical hexane extraction process for degummed crude soybean oil production. The goal of this study is to build up an economic model of hexane oil extraction in several industrial scales to estimate production cost,
Replacing hexane by ethanol for soybean oil extraction: Modeling
The soybean oil extraction occurs through a countercurrent percolation system. The solvent moves into the soybean flakes pores and extracts the oil. The extraction unit has two output streams: the miscella, rich in oil and the meal, a solid fraction rich in protein.
Replacing hexane by ethanol for soybean oil extraction
As reported by Ferreira et al. (2018), Sawada et al. (2014) and Toda et al. (2016), 3 kg of ethanol are used for each kg of soybean in the oil extraction, while 0.8
Economic feasibility analysis of soybean oil production by hexane
Hexane extraction process Crop preparation (handling), solvent extraction, degumming, desolvenization, and meal processing are main processes of the soybean oil hexane extraction process (Fig. 1). Crop preparation includes oil seed cleaning, cracking, dehulling, conditioning, and flaking.
Environmental impact assessment of soybean oil
Also, these three oil extraction processes are investigated under pilot scale operations, which are 23.3, 31.5, and 15.4 million ton of annual soybean oil
Economic feasibility analysis of soybean oil production by hexane
The extraction efficiency using solvents is dependent on the solvents?ability to solubilize the oils and extract them from the seeds, extraction temperature and seed particle size (Abdul Hakim Shaah et al., 2021; Nde and Foncha, 2020). n-Hexane is the most commonly used solvent for plant-based oil extraction due to its high oil yield and low costs, and remains as the accepted method

Recent advances in green soybean oil extraction: A review
Perspectives for using green solvents in soybean oil extraction. Disregarding the information about reuse, recovery, and technical-economical, which has a considerable lack of literature, the replacement of hexane in the industrial processes with a green solvent seems to be the best alternative for soybean oil extraction.

For example, a TEA model on soybean oil hexane extraction identified that a plant capacity of 34.6 million kg of annual soybean oil production was needed for the process to financially breakeven . For the EAEP of soybean oil to be profitable, annual oil production could not fall below 8.5 million kg [ 70 ].
