Sunflower is crushed for oil recovery via one of two process methods, hard pressing or prepress solvent extraction. Hard pressing relies upon exerting high pressure on the prepared seed to separate oil from the solids fraction, historically recovering about 25% oil from the seed.
What are the kinetics and mechanism of sunflower seed oil extraction?
The kinetics and mechanism of the extraction process investigated. It is shown that the process of extracting sunflower seed oil is complicated and include as intra-diffusion and outer-diffusion oil transfer is similar to extraction of target components from other seeds of plant material (amaranth, rapeseed, etc.).
How is crude pressed sunflower oil refined?
Crude pressed sunflower oil obtained from a local oil mill was refined using chemical method by degumming, neutralization, bleaching and dewaxing. The quality and composition of crude and refined oil were compared. The phosphorous content, FFA content, peroxide value and wax content decreased during the refining process.
What is the energy supply scheme of sunflower seed oil mill?
Energy supply scheme of Sunflower Seed Oil Mill (developed by author). As can be seen, the best strategy for CHP development is to cover heat demand by CHP. As compared with husk utilization for heat production only, it allows mills to increase total income by 21¨C23% and reduce carbon dioxide emission by 70¨C73%.
