Question: 4 . 9 . A feed slurry containing B a S O 4 , H 2 S O 4 and water is washed with water

4.9. A feed slurry containing BaSO4,H2SO4 and water is washed with water in three stages. The washing takes place in three washer/settler tanks such that the washed slurry moves from tank to tank, while the decanted solution (free of BaSO4) is withdrawn and collected in a common stream. 80% of the H2SO4 is removed in each tank. The slurry has a mass fraction of BaSO4 of 0.56. The washed BaSO4 is dried to remove 90% of the mass of the water (none of the H2SO4 is removed). A sketch of the wash system is shown below. Make a mass balance for the system to determine the flow of water to each tank and the mass fraction of H2SO4 in the washed and dried BaSO4.
