Question: Question 2 A 1 0 0 k g h Acetone ( C ) is to be extracted from an aqueous solution using TCA ( trichloroethane

Question 2
A 100kgh Acetone (C) is to be extracted from an aqueous solution using TCA (trichloroethane-B) as a solvent at 25C in a continuous counter-current system. The extract composition (E) is 7%A,13%B and 80% C (all in mass fraction), and the composite of the raffinate composition (R) is 44%A,37% B and 19% C. Calculate:
2.1. The distribution coefficient (K).
2.2. The selectivity (separation factor).
