    1. 1200 kg/h of coconut flesh containing 25% oil needs to be extracted using ethyl ether to remove 90% of the oil. The final solution should contain 70% oil. Table A gives the retention of solution by the inert solids. The number of theoretical stages required to achieve this separation needs to be determined. 2. 1000 kg/h of sunflower seeds containing 50% oil is extracted using hexane. The fresh solvent contains 10 kg oil and 700 kg hexane. The exhausted seeds should contain 60 kg oil. The overflow and underflow streams and their concentrations, number of theoretical stages, and actual number of stages at 85% efficiency need to be calculated. 3. 1000 kg/

    Multiple stages solid liquid extraction.

    1. 1200
    kg/h
    of
    fresh
    coconut
    flesh
    containing
    25 wt% oil are to be extracted with pure ethyl ether in a countercurrent multistage
    leaching process. It is desired to remove 90% of the oil and the final exit overflow
    solution is to contain 70 wt% oil. The retention of solution by the inert solids (oil-freecoconut flesh) graph is given in Table A. Determine the number of theoretical stages
    required to achieve the separation.

    2. An extraction of sunflower oil from sunflower seeds is using hexane as a solvent. The
    extractor unit is to extract sunflower oil from 1000 kg/hour sunflower seeds. The
    untreated sunflower seeds contains 50 % of oil and 2 % hexane. The fresh solvent
    mixture contains 10 kg oil and 700 kg hexane. The exhausted sunflower seeds are to
    contain 60 kg of oil. Assume constant underflow of N = 2.0 kg insoluble solid/kg solution
    retained.
    i) Determine the overflow and underflow streams with their respective concentrations
    ii) Determine the number of theoretical stages required .
    iii) If the process efficiency is 85 %, determine actual number of stages required.

    Fresh halibut livers containing 25.7 wt% oil are to be extracted with pure ethyl ether to
    remove 95 wt% of the oil in a countercurrent multistage solid extraction process. The
    feed rate is 1000 kg of fresh livers per hour. The final exit overflow solution is to contain
    70 wt% oil. Determine the amount and exit concentrations of overflow and underflow
    streams. The retention of solution by the inert solids (oil-free liver) of the liver varies as
