Assumptions:
solute-free solid (B) is insoluble in the solvent (C)
sufficient time for equilibrium
no adsorption of solute (A) back into solid
kg A
Weight fraction of solute (A) in underflows solution L,yA: y A = kg A + kg C

L0 = 100 80 = 20 kg
Comp.C = hexane
Total material balance: N0 = 80/20=4, yA0 = 1
L0 + V2 = L1 + V1 = M
Balance on A:
20 + 100 = L1 + V1 = 120

Example 12.10-1
Feed: B = 2000 kg/h meal A = 800 kg oil C = 50 kg benzene
Fresh solvent: C = 1310 kg benzene A = 20 kg oil
Leached solids: A = 120 kg oil.
L0 = 800 + 50 = 850 kg/h
y0A = 800/ 850 = 0.941
N0 = 2000/850 = 2.36
LN = 120 + C
yNA = 120/(120 +C)
NN = 2000/120+C
yNA = 120/120 = 1
NN = 2000/120 = 16.67
L0 + VN+1 = LN + V1 = M
Example 12.10-1
1. Plot N vs yA,xA with underflow & overflow. Locate L0, VN+1 & LN

2. Locate M on the line joining VN+1 & L0. A line from LN through M will give V1
on the overflow.
