Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
monitoring a vapor pressure of the extraction vessel cavity;
determining if a monitored vapor pressure value indicates that residual solvent remains in the extraction vessel cavity, and if determined that residual solvent remains in the extraction vessel cavity, the method further comprising:
introducing a second heated fluid portion into the extraction vessel cavity via the first input orifice or another input of the extraction vessel;
substantially maintaining the second heated fluid portion in vapor form as the second heated fluid portion travels through the extraction vessel cavity;
evaporating, by the first heated fluid portion, a second liquid solvent portion from the solvent-bearing mass, thereby producing a second solvent vapor portion;
collecting at least the second solvent vapor portion after exiting the first output orifice of the extraction vessel; and
substantially containing the second heated fluid portion within the extraction vessel cavity.
