12.5-4 A mixture weighing 1000 kg contains 23.

5 wt% acetic acid water (B) and is to be

extracted by 500 kg isopropyl ether (C) in a single stage extraction.
F = 1000 kg
x AF=0.235 S = 500 k x AS=0
x BS=¿ 0
x B F=¿ 0.756
x CS =1
x CF =0

M = 1500 kg
F x AF +S x AS ( 1000 )( 0.325 )+(500)(0)
x AM =
F +S
= 1000+ 500
= 0.157

Plot the feed (F), inlet solvent (S), and the mixture point (M) on the equilibrium diagram (next page).
Draw an equilibrium tie line through M to find the raffinate (R) and extract (E), and take the
compositions from the graph. Use the overall material balance and the component balance on acetone
(A) to find the mass of R and E.
R: E:
x AR=0.1 2 y AE=0.205
x CR =¿ 0.025 y CE =¿ 0.755
x BR =1−0.12−0.025=0.85 5 y BE =1−0.205−0.755=0.04

Balances:
R+ E=1500=F +S
R x AR+ E x AE =F x AF + S x AS

0.12 R+0.205 ( 1500−R ) =( 1000 )( 0.235 )+(500)(0)
