The system docosane-diphenylhexane (DPH)-furfural is representative of complex systems encountered in the solvent refining of lubricating oils. Five hundred kgh of a 40wt% mixture of DPH in docosane are to be extracted in a countercurrent system with 500kgh of a solvent containing 98wt% furfural and 2wt%DPH to produce a raffinate of 5wt%DPH. Calculate, with a right-triangle diagram, the stages required and the kgh of DPH in the extract at 45C.
