Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to leaching ?
Correct answer: C. Fine solids cannot be leached in a Pachuca tank
- A. Vegetable seeds can be leached in either of Bollman extractor, Rotocel or Kennedy extractor
- B. Door classifier can be used for leaching of coarse solids
- C. Fine solids cannot be leached in a Pachuca tank
- D. Very high temperature is not needed for the leaching of sugar beet
Explanation
A Pachuca tank is a slurry leacher that can handle fine solids, so saying that fine solids cannot be leached in it is wrong. Coarse solids are more suited to percolation devices such as classifiers, while sugar beet leaching does not require very high temperature.
