Soal 1 : If 100 kg of a water-acetic acid solution containing 20 % acid is to be extracted

three times in cross current fashion, each time with 200 kg of methyl Isobutyl
Ketone, determine the compositions, % by weight, and the weight of the mixed
extracts and the final raffinate. determine raffinate composition of acetic acid in single
stage extraction. Make the computation on the x,y againts B coordinate.

Soal 2:

Hot water is to be used to leach a protein out of seaweed in an isothermal multistage

countercurrent system. The seaweed slurry, consisting of 65% solids, 35% protein, enters at
a rate 400 kg/h. The hot water is fed at rate 500 kg/h. How many ideal stages required if It is
desired to have the outlet underflow have a maximum residual concentration of 2% protein.
