12.5-4 A Mixture Weighing 1000 KG Contains 23.5 WT% Acetic Acid Water (B) and Is To Be

A 1000 kg mixture containing 23.5% acetic acid will undergo single-stage liquid-liquid extraction with 500 kg isopropyl ether. The feed, inlet solvent, and mixture point are plotted on an equilibrium diagram. An equilibrium tie line is drawn through the mixture point to determine the compositions of the raffinate (12.5% acetic acid, 85.5% water) and extract (20.5% acetic acid, 75.5% isopropyl ether). Material and component balances yield 853 kg of raffinate and 647 kg of extract.

12.5-4 A mixture weighing 1000 kg contains 23.

5 wt% acetic acid water (B) and is to be


extracted by 500 kg isopropyl ether (C) in a single stage extraction.
F = 1000 kg
x AF=0.235 S = 500 k x AS=0
x BS=¿ 0
x B F=¿ 0.756
x CS =1
x CF =0

M = 1500 kg
F x AF +S x AS ( 1000 )( 0.325 )+(500)(0)
x AM =
F +S
= 1000+ 500
= 0.157

Plot the feed (F), inlet solvent (S), and the mixture point (M) on the equilibrium diagram (next page).
Draw an equilibrium tie line through M to find the raffinate (R) and extract (E), and take the
compositions from the graph. Use the overall material balance and the component balance on acetone
(A) to find the mass of R and E.
R: E:
x AR=0.1 2 y AE=0.205
x CR =¿ 0.025 y CE =¿ 0.755
x BR =1−0.12−0.025=0.85 5 y BE =1−0.205−0.755=0.04

Balances:
R+ E=1500=F +S
R x AR+ E x AE =F x AF + S x AS

0.12 R+0.205 ( 1500−R ) =( 1000 )( 0.235 )+(500)(0)


R=853 kg
E=647 kg
