Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

In this chapter, a novel green extraction process known as solvent extraction–crystallisation –evaporation (SECE) is introduced. The SECE is meant to be a sustainable approach for oil recovery from palm oil milling and refining processes. It utilises bioethanol as the extraction solvent instead of hexane. SECE is demonstrated for the extraction of residual oil from spent bleaching clay (SBC, i.e. waste from the palm oil refining processes), as well as from various waste products in the milling process, e.g. mesocarp fibres, decanter cake, etc.
