Countercurrent Multistage Leaching of Halibut Livers.

Fresh halibut livers


containing 25.7 wt % oil are to be extracted with pure ethyl ether to remove 95% of
the oil in a countercurrent multistage leaching process. The feed rate is 1000 kg of
fresh livers per hour. The final exit overflow solution is to contain 70 wt % oil. The
retention of solution by the inert solids (oil-free liver) of the liver varies as follows
(C1), where N is kg inert solid/kg solution retained and y
A
is kg oil/kg solution:
N yA
4.880 0
3.50 0.2
2.47 0.4
1.67 0.6
1.39 0.81

Calculate the amounts and compositions of the exit streams and the total number of
theoretical stages.
