6. Find the process
a) Leaching
b) Extraction
c) Evaporation
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Here the sugar gets leached from the sugar beet with help of solvent water.
7. Which of the following process can accelerate leaching?
a) Heating
b) Drying
c) Crushing
d) Crushing or grinding
View Answer
Explanation: Since crushing or grinding can result in the removal of more solute from the solids.
8. The process elution is also known as elutriation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The process of removing the soluble materials from the solid.
9. Temperature of the solvent is low.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The temperature of the solvent should be high in order to get more solubility of solute.
10. If the solvent viscosity is low and temperature of the solvent is high then the leaching rate decreases.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The leaching rate increases with diffusivity since the viscosity is low and the temperature is high.

a) Cossettes
b) Coset
c) Consot
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The cut portions can improve the solute removal. The cut sets are named cossettes.
