Oil is to be extracted from meal by means of benzene, using a continuous countercurrent extractor, The unit is to treat 2000 Ib of meal (based on completely exhausted solid) per hour. The untreated meal contains 800 Ib of oil and 50 Ib of benzene. The fresh solvent consists 20 lb of oil dissolved in 1310 Ib of benzene. The exhausted solids are to contain 120 Ib of unextracted oil. Experiments carried out under conditions identical with those of the projected battery, show n retained depends on the concentration of the solution as follows: that the sol Concentration, 00 Joi [o2 [03 jos [05 06 [07 | Ib oil/ 1b solution 9.500 | 0.505 | O.Si5 | 0.530 | 0.550] 0.571 | 0.595 cea ‘Solution retained, Ib/Ib oil-free solid Find: (a.)

Pure water is used to separate a ct extraction process. The feed contains 45% by weight of chloroform and 35% acetone, and flows at a rate of 100 kg/min. Pure water is ‘added to each stage at a rate of 50 kg/min. (a) Determine the composition ofthe extract and raffinate phases for each stage, and (b) find the flow rates for all streams leaving the contactors. The extraction process is carried out at 25°C.
