Question 4 A mixture containing 50 wt% acetone and 50 wt% water is contacted with equal amount of MIK. This extract is operated in a single-stage process. (a) What is the composition of each component in the extract phase? (b) What is the composition of each component in the raffinate phase? (c) What is fraction of acetone extracted (percent recovery)? The equilibrium data of system acetone-MIK-water at 25 °C is shown below. MIK (5) 1.00 0.2 0.1 A 0.4 0.3 0.9 Mass fraction acetone 0.6 0.8 0.7 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 Acetone -Extract phase- 1.00 0.2 Raffinate phase www 0.4 Mass fraction MIK 0.3 0.4 Mass fraction water 0.5 0.6 0.3 0.2 0.7 2 0.8 0.9 B 1.00 H₂O (b)
