A wastewater stream flowing at 1 0 . 0 kmo l h r at 2 0 C and 1 atm and contains 6 . 0

A wastewater stream flowing at 10.0kmolhr at 20C and 1atm and contains 6.0mole% acetone. It is desired to remove 95% of the acetone in the wastewater stream using Iq-Iq extraction with the column operating at 20C and 1atm. Pure chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) is to be used as the extraction solvent for this unit.
a) Draw a flow diagram for this process [2 pts]
b) Use the equilibrium data below to estimate a K value for this process [2pts]
c) Use the Kremser equations to estimate the number of stages required if a solvent flowrate of 1.5 times the minimum value is utilized. [6 pts]
