As usual, the operating line passes through the points (xa, ya) and
(xb, yb), and if the flow rates are constant, the slope is L/V.
QUESTION 1
EXAMPLE 23.1.
Oil is to be extracted from meal by means of benzene using
a continuous countercurrent extractor. The unit is to treat
1,000 kg of meal (based on completely exhausted solid) per
hour. The untreated meal contains 400 kg of oil and is
contaminated with 25kg of benzene. The fresh solvent
mixture contains 10kg of oil and 655 kg of benzene. The
exhausted solids are to contain 60kg of unextracted oil.
Experiments carried out under conditions identical with those
of the projected battery show that the solution retained
depends on the concentration of the solution, as shown in
Table 23.1.
Find:
(a) the concentration of the strong solution, or extract;
(b) the concentration of the solution adhering to the extracted solids;
(c) the mass of solution leaving with the extracted meal;
(d) the mass of extract;
(e) the number of stages required.
All quantities are given on an hourly basis.
Solution
Let x and y be the mass fractions of oil in the underflow and
overflow solutions. At the solvent inlet,
e) Determine the inlet and exit concentrations for the first stage and
locate the operating line for the remaining stages.
Since x1 = ya = 0.60, solution retained is 0.595 kg/kg solid.
Oil balance:
By an overall balance,
QUESTION 2
EXCERCISE1 (LEACHING)
We wish to treat 1000 kg/hr (wet basis) of meal (D)
that contains 0.20 wt frac oil (A) and no benzene (S).
The inlet solvent is pure benzene and flows at
662 kg/hr. We desire an underflow product that is
0.04 wt frac oil. Temperature and pressure are
constant, and the equilibrium data are given in Table
1. Find the outlet extract concentration and the
number of equilibrium stages needed in a
countercurrent leaching system.
