1. Consider a three-stage cross-flow extraction process. The streams that exit each mixer-settler are in equilibrium with each other. Six hundred kilograms per hour of a 50 wt% acetone in water solution is to be extracted using Trichloroethane (TCE) as a solvent. The flow rate of the pure solvent, S, in each stage is 400 kg/hr.
