Acetone At 45 Mass Basis In Water Is To Be Extracted Using Pure Trichloroethylene The Acetone Water Flowrate Is 10th 1 (88.36 KiB) Viewed 87 times

Acetone at 45% (mass basis) in water is to be extracted using pure trichloroethylene. The acetone/water flowrate is 10th, and the acetone level is to be reduced to 10% maximum. Use the equilibrium data below on a right-angle triangle construction to answer the following questions. (5) a) Estimate the plait point and mark it with the letter Pin your diagram b) Find the minimum flowrate of solvent c) At a solvent flowrate of 1.5 times the minimum, how many equilibrium stages are required? d) Construct a table, following the example below, showing the mass flowrate of each component in the four streams: Feed, Solvent, Extract, Raffinate. Show the total flowrate of each stream also.

State any assumptions clearly, and use graphical methods to solve parts (a), (b) and (c). You can use Microsoft Excel or ordinary graph paper. TOTAL /35/
