points A mixture of compounds A and are being separated using the combined extraction
and distillation system depicted below.
of the A and B mixture enters in stream with a mol fraction of A of
Pure C enters in stream and combines with a recycle stream before entering the extractor
stream
All of the A exits the extractor in stream
of the in stream exits the extractor in stream
of the B in stream exits the distillation column in stream
