Question One: (8 points)


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 where N is kg inert solid/kg solution retained and y A is kg oil/kg solution:

N yA
4.88 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.

Good Luck
