Abstract
Extraction of castor oil from castor seeds was carried out using a bioresource solvent and compared with the extraction capacity of a commercial solvent. The solvents used were feint, a liquid industrial waste from the distillery and commercial hexane. Results of the chemical and physical properties of the extracted oils indicate that feint could serve as an effective substitute solvent for commercial hexane in the extraction of castor oil intended for alkyd resin production. The extraction coefficients for enhanced oil removal from the seed meal and the enthalpy changes accompanying the extraction process were determined. The solvent power of the solvents was temperature dependent.
