Chapter 2 LLE-part 2 - 18nov2020

This document discusses liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), including single-stage calculations, multi-stage countercurrent systems, and LLE equipment. It provides examples of calculating compositions and mass flowrates for a single stage, determining the number of stages needed for countercurrent multistage extraction, and iterating to find the theoretical number of stages. The document also outlines course outcomes and learning objectives related to applying separation process principles to chemical engineering problems using LLE.

4. Single-stage LLE: calculation
Example 1
An original mixture weighing 200 kg and containing 50 kg of isopropyl ether, 20 kg of acetic acid,
and 130 kg of water is equilibrated in a mixer-settler and the phase separated. Determine the
amounts and compositions of the raffinate and extract layers. Use equilibrium data from
Appendix A.3

5. Multi-stage LLE: countercurrent system
Example 2
Pure isopropyl ether of 450 kg/h is being used to extract an aqueous solution of 150 kg/h
with 30 wt% acetic acid (A) by countercurrent multistage extraction. The exit acid
concentration in the aqueous phase is 10 wt%. Calculate the number of stages required.

5. Multi-stage LLE: countercurrent system
Example 3
An aqueous feed solution of 1000 kg/h of acetic acid-water solution containing 30 wt% acetic
acid and is to be extracted in a countercurrent multistage process with pure isopropyl ether
to reduce the acid concentration to 2 wt% acid in the final raffinate. Use equilibrium data
from Appendix A.3

a) Calculate the minimum solvent flowrate (Vn+1,min) that can be used.


b) Determine the number of theoretical stages required if the actual solvent flowrate is
equal to 1.5 Vn+1,min

5. Multi-stage LLE: countercurrent system
Example 4
An inlet water solution of 100 kg/h containing 0.01 wt fraction nicotine (A) in water is
stripped with a kerosene stream of 200 kg/h containing 0.0005 wt fraction nicotine in a
countercurrent stage tower. The water and kerosene are essentially immiscible in each other.
It is desired to reduce the concentration of the exit water to 0.001 wt fraction nicotine. The
equilibrium data as follows, with x is the weight fraction of nicotine in the water solution and
y is in the kerosene. Determine the theoretical number of stages needed.
