Question:
Penicillin in 12 m3/h of fermentation broth is extracted using isoamylacetate in a POD. The distribution coefficient at pH = 2 is KD = 50. If the number of countercurrent equilibrium stages in the extractor is 4, determine the flow rate of isoamylacetate required to reduce the broth penicillin concentration from 35 g/L to 0.07 g/L.
