Question: Don't copy the solution, i want new solution with correct answer and good schematics. (IF YOU COPY THE SOLUTION YOU WILL GET DISLIKE IMMEDIATELY). Q3)
Q3) 1500kg/hr liquid hydrocarbon with 10wt% solute is fed to 3 stages extractor using a solvent with molecular weight of 80 to remove 95% of the solute. The solvent is regenerated in a stripper using a pure steam with 95% solute removal. Laboratory experiments show that the extraction process has a K value of 10kg solute in the extract phase/kg solute in the raffinate phase and the stripping process has a K value of 0.2mol solute in solvent/mole solute in steam. Assume the stripping factor is 1.4. Estimate a) Flow rate of solvent required, kg/hr b) No. of theoretical stages required for the stripper c) Flow rate of stripping steam required, kg/hr (25 pts)
