In a single stage leaching of soybean oil from flaked soybean with hexane, 100 kg of meal containing 20 wt% oil is leached with 100 kg of fresh hexane solvent of 2% oil. The value of N for the slurry underflow is essentially constant at 1.85 kg insoluble solid / kg solution retained. Calculate the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and the under flow slurry L1 leaving the stage.
