100 Kg/hr of a Pyridine-Water containing 0.01 wt. fraction Pyridine is extracted
with 150 kg/hr of Kerosene containing 0.0006 wt. fraction Pyridine in counter
current stage column. Pyridine content of exit water stream is 0.0010 wt. fraction.
Determine the no. of theoretical stages required for the separation. Water and
Kerosene are extensively immiscible solvents.
