Question:
A stage extraction process is depicted in Figure. In such systems, a stream containing a weight fraction Yin of a chemical enters from the left at a mass flow rate of F1. Simultaneously, a solvent carrying a weight fraction Xin of the same chemical enters from the right at a flow rate of F2. Thus, for stage i, a mass balance can be represented as
F1Yi-1 + F2Xi+1 = F1Yi + F2Xi? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??(P a)
At each stage, an equilibrium is assumed to be established between Yi and Xi as in
K = Xi/Yi? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?(P b)
