A liquid mixture of 27 wt% acetone and 73 wt% water is to be separated at 25
Question:
A liquid mixture of 27 wt% acetone and 73 wt% water is to be separated at 25oC into a raffinate and extract by multistage, steady-state, countercurrent liquid-liquid extraction with a solvent of pure 1, 1, 2-trichloroethane. Phase equilibrium data are given in Exercise 8.11. Determine:
(a) The minimum solvent-to-feed ratio to obtain a raffinate that is essentially free of acetone.
(b) The composition of extract at the minimum solvent-to-feed ratio.
(c) The composition of the extract stream leaving stage 2 (see Figure), if a large number of equilibrium stages is used with the minimum solventrate.
