From the diagram Components Water MEK Feed Compositions 0.92 0.08

Raffinate Components Compositions MEK 0.01

This calculations Based on assumption that for mixtures containing less than 10 percent of soluble gas, the effect of changes in the total flow is ignored (Unit Operation of Chemical Engineering, p577). Therefore the effect of Hydrogen and SBA has been ignored.

The amount of Solvent M1 is equal to the ratio of a distance MEK to the mixing point to that from the mixing point to the feed multiplied by the Feed Mole flow rate of solvent required

= 30.07k mol/h Total mole rate = F (feed flow rate) + S (solvent flow rate) = 47.61kmol/h Mole flow rate of extract

= 29.3kmol/h Moles flow rate of raffinate

=18.31 kmol/hr
