Design a countercurrent liquid-liquid extractor to separate acetone from methyl isobutyl ketone (MIK) using water as a solvent. The column is to operate at 25°C. The organic feed rate is 10,000 kg/h, and the composition is 45 weight percent acetone and 55 weight percent MIK. The fresh solvent is pure water, and twice the minimum solvent rate is to be used. The concentration of acetone in the organic raffinate leaving the top of the extractor is to be 2.5 weight percent acetone.
