Extraction
a) Using a multistage counter-current extraction, product C shall be separated from the diluent A. Please use the ternary diagram provided on the supplementary sheet to solve this task. The feed consists of 62% C and 38% A.
b) The added solvent flow S' is saturated with A but free of C. Please mark the feed F, the solvent S' and the notional mixing point M of the total process. The ratio of solvent stream to feed (S'F) is 32.
c) The outlet raffinate composition of the last separator step Rn may not contain more than 4% of C. Please construct the pole point . What is the content of C in the extract stream E1?
