Industry Overview
The worldwide edible oil industry generates approximately 2.5 million tonnes of Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) annually. However, SBE presents numerous challenges for the edible oil refinery industry.
According to the American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS), SBE can contain 30-50% of entrained oil by weight. Due to the high oil content, SBE is susceptible to spontaneous combustion as the thin film of oil spread across the clay’s high surface area oxidises rapidly, generating heat. This makes handling, transporting and reusing them a significant challenge.
The improper handling and disposal of spent bleaching earth can have adverse effects on the environment. Spent bleaching earth contains residual oil, phospholipids, and other contaminants, which can pose risks if not managed properly. Some of the potential environmental impacts include:
Soil Contamination: Spent bleaching earth, if disposed of directly on land or inappropriately stored, can contaminate soil. This contamination can affect soil fertility and hinder plant growth. The presence of heavy metals in spent earth can also lead to long-term pollution and bioaccumulation in the food chain.
Water Pollution: If spent bleaching earth is not adequately treated, the residual oil and contaminants can leach into water bodies during rainfall or improper disposal practices. This can lead to water pollution, affecting aquatic ecosystems and potentially impacting drinking water sources.
Air Pollution: Spent bleaching earth can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odorous substances into the atmosphere if not handled properly. This can contribute to air pollution and unpleasant odors, impacting the surrounding communities and the overall air quality.
It is essential for edible oil refinery plants to adopt proper treatment methods for spent bleaching earth and comply with regulatory requirements and environmental standards. Implementing effective waste management practices, such as recycling, reusing, or disposing of spent earth in approved facilities, is crucial to minimize the environmental impact and promote sustainability within the industry.

Innovative Solutions for Spent Bleaching Earth Disposal and Recycle
Spent bleaching earth (SBE) is a hazardous waste material generated during the vegetable oil refining process. Its disposal is a significant challenge as it contains high levels of oil and impurities, which can lead to soil and water pollution, posing environmental and health hazards. However, recycling SBE is an efficient and eco-friendly approach to manage this waste material. This article explores innovative solutions available for SBE disposal and recycling. Challenges of SBE Disposal SBE disposal is a significant environmental concern due to its impact on the environment. Traditional disposal methods like landfilling and incineration are unsustainable due to their environmental risks. Besides, many countries have imposed stricter regulations on waste disposal, making it challenging for companies to abide by environmental laws. Thus, new solutions are necessary to handle SBE disposal. SBE Recycling Solutions SBE recycling is an efficient and eco-friendly approach to manage this waste material. The recycling process involves the extraction of oil from the spent bleaching earth, and the remaining material can be used as a fuel source or as a raw material for other industries. There are several innovative solutions available for SBE recycling, including: Solvent Extraction: Solvent extraction is a popular method for recovering oil from SBE. The process involves mixing the spent bleaching earth with a solvent that dissolves the oil. The solvent is then separated from the oil, and the remaining material can be used as a fuel source or as a raw material for other industries. Thermal Desorption: Thermal desorption is another method for recovering oil from SBE. The process involves heating the spent bleaching earth to a high temperature, which vaporizes the oil. The vapor is then condensed, and the remaining material can be used as a fuel source or as a raw material for other industries. Bioremediation: Bioremediation is an eco-friendly method for SBE recycling. The process involves using microorganisms to degrade the oil in the spent bleaching earth. The microorganisms break down the oil into harmless byproducts, which can be used as a fuel source or as a raw material for other industries. Benefits of SBE Recycling SBE recycling offers several benefits over traditional disposal methods. Firstly, it reduces the environmental impact of SBE disposal by minimizing soil and water pollution. Secondly, it promotes sustainable practices and helps companies comply with environmental laws. Thirdly, SBE recycling is a cost-effective solution, as the recovered oil can be sold or reused in the production process. Myande’s Solutions Myande Group is a leading engineering company that provides equipment and engineering solutions for the Spent Bleaching Earth Disposal and Recycle industry. Myande Group has a team of experts who have extensive experience in designing and manufacturing SBE recycling process and equipment.
