Question:

Acetone is to be extracted from a solution in water, using 1,1,2-trichloroethane. The feed concentration is 45.0 per cent w/w acetone. Determine the number of stages required to reduce the concentration of acetone to below 10 per cent, using 32 kg of extraction-solvent per 100 kg feed. The equilibrium data for this system are given by Treybal et al. Ind. Eng. Chem. 38, 817 (1946).
