Example 13-5

Transcribed Image Text:

A solvent stream containing 10% by weight acetone and 90% by weight chloroform is used to extract acetone from a feed containing 55 wt% acetone and 5 wt% chloroform with the remainder being water. Feed rate is 250 kg/h, and solvent rate is 400 kg/h. Operation is at 25C and atmospheric pressure. Find extract and raffinate compositions and flow rates when one equilibrium stage is used.
