This document describes a countercurrent multistage leaching process to extract 95% of the oil from 1000 kg/hr of fresh halibut livers containing 25.7% oil using pure ethyl ether. The final exit overflow solution is required to contain 70% oil. The retention of solution by the inert liver solids varies with the amount of oil extracted per kg of solution as shown in the table. The task is to calculate the amounts and compositions of the exit streams and the total number of theoretical stages.

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
