Solid coconut waste was produced after coconut milk extraction process and may still contain up to
24 wt.% oil content. In this work, extraction of oil from coconut waste using batch and soxhlet extractor
was studied. Effect of particle size diameter, type of solvent and solvent to solid ratio on the kinetic and
thermodynamic parameters; entropy, enthalpy and free energy of extraction were investigated. The maximum
oil yields for soxhlet and batch reactor were 23.6% at 80 C and 21.9% at 65 C, respectively for particle
size diameter
