An organic solute is to be extracted from a dilute aqueous solution (L phase) using fresh solvent (V phase) with a distribution coefficient of 2. the solvent flow is 1.19 times the solution flow and 99% recovery is required. the countercurrent cascade extraction system is to be used.Given Xa= 0.2, Ya=0.166 A) use Kremser eqn. to find # of ideal stages. B) use McCabe-Thiele method to find the number of ideal stages. label the number of each stage and operating and equilibrium lines.
