Abstract: | Summary Basic phase relation data have been obtained relative to the extraction of cottonseed oil with ethanol and 2-propanol, especially
as affected by water in the solvent. Mutual solubility diagrams have been constructed for cottonseed oil with ethanol and
2-propanol of various aqueous concentrations. Tie-line data at 30° C. have been obtained for the ternary ethanol-cotton-seed
oil-water and 2-propanol-cottonseed oil-water systems. These combined data will be of assistance in the selection of the most
desirable temperatures and moisture concentrations in the solvent extraction of cottonseed with these alcohols. Comparison
with results previously published for soybean oil suggests that the mutual solubility data for cottonseed oil and aqueous
ethanols are applicable to other vegetable oils over a wide range of iodine values.
In general, the results indicate that 2-propanol is the more desirable solvent since complete miscibility with the oil can
be attained at temperatures below its normal boiling point even at moisture contents as high as 10% by weight whereas ethanol
can tolerate only about 1.5% of water. High moisture contents result in more effective separation of the oil from the solvent
when the miscella is cooled after extraction. Constant boiling aqueous ethanol and 2-propanol present the disadvantage of
requiring greater than atmospheric pressure during extraction in order to attain complete miscibility with the oil.
