BATCH LEACHING METHOD

 BATCH LEACHING METHOD
Explanation:
● Conducted by mixing the material to be leached with water (or another leachant)
at a specified ratio in a reactor.
● Batch reactors for leaching method can be in the form of a closed vessel, a cell, or
a column.
● A sample is placed in a given volume of leachant solution for a set period of time.
● Require some type of agitation to insure constant contact or mixing between the
sample and the leachant.
Variables to be considered for the batch leaching method:
● Configuration of extraction vessel
● Duration of extraction
● Solid-liquid ratio
● Sample pretreatment
● Leachant composition
FIXED-BED LEACHING
•It has been used in:
• Beet sugar industry
• Extraction of tanning extracts from
tanbark
• Extraction of pharmaceuticals from
barks & seeds.
• The cover is removable for solid loading.
• Heated water flows into the bed to leach
out sugar.
• About 95% of sugar in the beets to yield
outlet solution containing 12 wt. % sugar.
