10. A method for regenerating spent adsorbent material, said method comprising:
-
inserting absorbent material into an adsorption device; directing at least one of an oil and an oil/petroleum ether solution through the adsorption device; directing a first solvent through the adsorption device to facilitate recovering at least a portion of the oil remaining in the adsorption device; directing a second solvent through the adsorption device; directing the first solvent through the adsorption device to facilitate removing at least a portion of the second solvent remaining in the adsorption device; and directing only the first solvent through a solvent recovery device to facilitate removing oil from the first solvent. - View Dependent Claims (11)
