A solution of acetic acid (A) in water (D) is to be extracted using isopropyl ether as the solvent (S).
The feed is is 40 wt% acetic acid and 60 wt% water. The solvent used is pure isopropyl ether. The
inlet feed is 1000 kg/h and the solvent feed rate is 1500 kg/h per stage in cross flow.
For a single stage extractor, what are the exit concentrations of acetone in the extract and raffinate
phases?
XAR1 = 26.5 wt%
YAE1 = 11.5 wt%
For a two stage cross-flow extractor, what are the exit concentrations of acetone in the extract and
raffinate phases?
XAR2 = 16 wt%
YAE2 = 9 wt%
