    The document summarizes two problems involving leaching processes. The first problem involves calculating the number of ideal stages required to extract oil from seeds using countercurrent extraction. The second problem involves calculating the number of equilibrium stages and percentage oil recovery required to extract tung oil from meal at a specified rate. Key steps and calculations are shown to solve for the number of stages and percentage recovery in each problem.

    Problem 2
    • Tung meal containing 55 mass % oil is to be extracted at rate of 3000 kg/hr using
    12000 kg/hr of solvent. The solvent contains 98% n-hexane and 2% Tung oil.
    • In addition, the Tung meal was so finely divided that some of it goes out
    suspended in the overflow solution. This amounts to 0.05 kg of solid per kg of
    solution. The underflow must have a concentration of no more than 2 mass % oil.
    • The solution adhering to the insoluble meal in the underflow was determined
    experimentally as tabulated below.
