    The document describes a pilot study where a mixture of 50% acetone and 50% water was separated into two streams using extraction. 100kg of the acetone-water mixture was used along with 100kg of methyl isobutyl ketone as solvent in the first stage, and 75kg in the second stage. The first stage extract contained 27.5% acetone, and the second stage raffinate was 43.1kg containing 5.3% acetone. The second stage extract contained 9% acetone and 88% MIBK. The overhead product from distillation contained mostly acetone with 2% MIBK and 1% water. The task is to calculate the masses and compositions of the streams.

    Example. A mixture containing 50wt% acetone and 50wt% water is to be separated into two
    streams – one enriched in acetone, the other in water (according to the scheme). In a pilot-
    plant study, for every 100kg of acetone –water fed to the first extraction stage, 100kg of methyl
    isobutyl ketone (MIBK) is fed to the first stage and 75kg is fed to the second stage. The extract
    from the first stage is found to contain 27.5wt% acetone. The second stage rafinate has a mass
    of 43.1kg and contains 5.3wt% acetone, 1.6wt% MIBK, and 93.1wt% water, and the second
    stage extract contains 9wt% acetone, 88wt% MIBK, and 3wt% water. The overhead product
    from the distillation column contains 2wt% MIBK, 1wt% water, and the balance acetone.
    Taking a basic of calculation of 100kg acetone-water feed, calculate the masses and
    composition of the stage one raffinate and extract, the second stage extract, the combined
    extract, and the distillation overhead and bottoms products.
