This paper present the optimum conditions for treating oily sludge with organic solvent extraction and surfactant solutions using the single factor experiment. Firstly, selecting petroleum ether (boiling range is 60-90oC) as the organic solvent, then selecting the mixture of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate and alkylphenol ether(OP-10) as surfactant agent to extract residual crude oil. Results obtained through experiments, the optimum parameters of petroleum ether were that ultrasonic reaction temperature was 55 oC, ultrasonic intensity was 320W, ultrasonic extraction time was 5min, liquid/solid mass rate was 7.5, then under the optimum conditions, the residual oil rate was about 6%. While the optimum parameters of surfactant mixture were that the temperature was 55 oC, ultrasonic intensity was still 320W, ultrasonic extraction time was 10min, liquid/solid mass rate was 15, under the optimum conditions, finally the residual oil rate was only about 1%.

Pencemaran akibat dari minyak buangan yang terkandung dalam air sisa merupakan salah satu masalah persekitaran yang amat serius. Disebabkan oleh perkembangan industri kelapa sawit yang amat pesat di Malaysia, suatu isipadu air sisa dari kilang kelapa sawit (POME) yang banyak juga dihasilkan pada masa yang sama. Pengekstrakkan minyak buangan dari POME telah dijalankan menggunakan proses pengektrakan pelarut. Dalam kajian ini, kesan masa pengektrakan, nisbah pelarut/suapan dan kadar pencampuran pengektrakan menggunakan beberapa jenis pelarut telah dijalankan. N–pentana, n–hexana dan n–heptana telah digunakan sebagai pelarut. Peratus minyak yang diekstrakkan pada keadaan–keadaan optimum ujikaji menggunakan n–pentana, n–hexana dan n–heptana diperolehi masing–masing sebanyak 58, 63 dan 65 peratus. Pengekstrakan berbagai peringkat juga telah dijalankan. Lebih dari 97% minyak buangan yang terkandung dalam POME telah berjaya diekstrakkan pada peringkat keempat pengekstrakkan menggunakan pelarut–pelarut tersebut. Kata kunci: Pengekstrakkan; kadar pencampuran; masa pencampuran; pelarut; POME Pollution from residual oil content in the wastewater is one of the serious environmental problems. Due to the rapid development of the palm oil industry in Malaysia, a large volume of palm oil mill effluent (POME) has been produced at the same time. Removal of residual oil from POME was carried out using solvent extraction process. The effect of different solvents, extraction time, solvent/feed ratio and mixing rate on extraction efficiency were investigated throughout this work. N– pentane, n–hexane and n–heptane were used as solvents. The percent of oil extracted at the optimum conditions of 10 min extraction time, 1:1 solvent: feed ratio, 200 rpm using n–pentane, n–hexane and n–heptane were found to be 58, 63 and 65, respectively for a single stage extraction. Multistage extraction has shown that the % of oil extracted increased significantly to more than 97% of the residual oil in the POME. Key words: Extraction; mixing rate; mixing time; solvent; POME

ABSTRACT Continuing investigation of pineal gland function indicates that the anti-gonadotrophic activity of this organ cannot be attributed solely to the postulated hormone melatonin, the concentration of which is negligible in the pineal body compared to quantities required to produce unequivocal physiological effects. A non-melatonin antigonadotrophic substance recently isolated from bovine pineal glands was further purified by organic solvent extraction, ultrafiltration and gel filtration. Studies of partial blockage of compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in unilaterally ovariectomized Charles River CD-1 mice indicated that this substance is significantly more potent than melatonin in this test system.

AbstractAn integrated hydrometallurgical process was used for the zinc leaching and purification from a zinc ore containing 9.75 wt% zinc. The zinc minerals in the ore were hemimorphite, willemite, and calcophanite. Main gangue minerals were quartz, goethite, hematite, and calcite. Central composite design (CCD) method was used to design leaching experiments and the optimum conditions were found as follows: 30% of solid fraction, 22.05% sulphuric acid concentration, and the leaching temperature of 45 °C. The PLS containing 35.07 g/L zinc, 3.16 g/L iron, and 4.58 g/L manganese impurities was produced. A special purification process including Fe precipitation and Zn solvent extraction was implemented. The results showed that after precipitation of iron, Zn extraction of 88.5% was obtained with the 2 stages extraction system composed of 30 vol% D2EHPA as extractant. The overall Zn recovery from the ore was 71.44%. Therefore, an appropriate solution containing 16.6 g/L Zn, 0.05 g/L Fe, and 0.11 g/L Mn was prepared for the electro-winning unit without using the roasting and calcination steps (conventional method), which result in environmental pollution.

AbstractAn efficient separation technology for hydrolysates towards a full valorization of bamboo is still a tough challenge, especially regarding the lignin and lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs). The present study aimed to develop a facile approach using organic solvent extraction for efficiently fractionating the main components of bamboo hydrolysates. The high-purity lignin with only a trace of carbohydrates was first obtained by precipitation of the bamboo hydrolysate. The water-soluble lignin (WSL) fraction was extracted in organic solvent through a three-stage organic solvent extraction process, and the hemicellulosic sugars with increased purity were also collected. Furthermore, a thorough characterization including various NMR techniques (31P, 13C, and 2D-HSQC), GPC, and GC-MS was conducted to the obtained lignin-rich-fractions. It was found that the WSL fraction contained abundant functional groups and tremendous amount of LCC structures. As compared to native LCC of bamboo, the WSL fraction exhibited more typical LCC linkages, i.e. phenyl glycoside linkage, which is the main type of chemical linkage between lignin and carbohydrate in both LCC samples. The results demonstrate that organic phase extraction is a highly efficient protocol for the fractionation of hydrolysate and the isolation of LCC-rich streams possessing great potential applications.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kesan saiz zarah ke atas pengekstrakan sebatian catechin daripada biji Areca catechu L. dengan menggunakan Pengekstrakan Pelarut Terpecut (PPT). Saiz zarah biji Areca catechu dipelbagaikan dari 75 μm sehingga 500 μm. Pengekstrakan telah dijalankan padaparameter tetap iaitu suhu (140oC), tekanan (1500 psi), masa (10 minit), isipadu semburan (60%) dan satu kitaran pengekstrakan, masing-masing. Hasil minyak peratusan yang lebih tinggi adalah 300 mg minyak / gram sampel (30.00% pati minyak) ditemui pada 125 μm. Walaubagaimanapun, kandungan catechin dalam pati minyak hanya 0.0375 mg catechin / gram sampel. Saiz zarah yang terbaik dalam julat uji kaji ini telah dikenal pasti pada 500 μm yang memberikan kandungan catechin yang tinggi iaitu 0.0515 mg catechin / gram sampel dari 247.5 mg minyak / gram sampel (24.75% pati minyak). Kata kunci: Saiz zarah; catechin; LC-MS-TOF; pengekstrakan pelarut terpecut The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of particle size on the extraction of catechincompound from Areca catechu L. seeds by using Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE). The particle sizes of Areca catechu L. seeds are varied from 75 µm until 500 µm. The extraction is conducted at fixed parameters which are temperature (140oC), pressure (1500 psi), extraction time (10 minutes), flush volume (60%) and the static cycle is done for 1 extraction cycle respectively. Higher percentage oil yield of 300mg oil/gram of sample (30.00% oil yield) is found at 125 µm. However, the amount of catechin in oil yields is only 0.0375 mg of catechin/gram of sample. The best of particle size within the experimental range has been identified at 500 µm which gives a high content of catechin with 0.0515 mg Catechin/gram of sample from 247.5 mg oil/gram of sample (24.75% oil yield). Keywords: Particle size; catechin; LC-MS-TOF; accelerated solvent extraction

Step-by-step solvent extraction was used to regenerate spent clay by recovering the adsorbed oil in lubricating oil refining clay. Several polar and nonpolar solvents were tested, and petroleum ether (90–120°C) and ethanol (95 v%) were selected as the nonpolar and polar solvents, respectively. The spent clay was first extracted using petroleum ether (90–120°C) to obtain ideal oil and then extracted with a mixed solvent of petroleum ether (90–120°C) and ethanol (95 v%) two or three times to obtain nonideal oil before being extracted with ethanol and water. Finally, the clay was dried at 130°C to obtain regenerated clay. The total oil recovery can be more than 99 wt% of the adsorbed oil. The recovered ideal oil can be used as lubricating base oil. Shorter storage times for spent clay produce better regeneration results. The regenerated clay can be reused to refine the lubricating base oils.
