Study Notes
Separative Absorption
- The equilibrium line in the loading diagram represents the balance between the concentration of the species in the gas and liquid phases.
- A smaller height of the liquid stream results in an increase in the theoretical number of separation stages.
Balance and Equilibrium Lines
- When the balance and equilibrium lines intersect, it indicates that the concentration of the species in the liquid phase is equal to the concentration of the species in the gas phase.
Washing Liquid Requirements
- The washing liquid in the separative absorption process must be free of the absorbed species.
Loading Calculation
- The loading of the washing liquid can be calculated from the partial mass balance of ammonia.
Equilibrium Line Construction
- The equilibrium line in separative absorption can be constructed using the Henry's law constant and the partial pressure of the species.
Balance Line Slope
- A smaller slope of the balance line in the desorption process indicates a faster desorption rate.
Theoretical Stages Evaluation
- The number of theoretical stages in separative absorption can be evaluated using the Kremser equation.
Loading Diagram
- A straight line in the loading diagram represents the equilibrium line.
Cross-Current Extraction
- In cross-current extraction, the solvent does not require to be miscible with the feed.
- The purpose of extraction in the preparation of soil samples from armament sites is to separate and purify the analytes.
- Extraction plays a crucial role in bioseparation as a separation technique to isolate and purify biomolecules.
- The key reason for using extraction in the concentration of metals in aqueous solutions in metallurgy is to separate and purify the metals.
- In thermal process engineering, extraction is necessary when a substance needs to be separated from a mixture based on differences in solubility or boiling point.
- Nernst's distribution theorem is based on the distribution coefficient, which is the ratio of the concentrations of the species in the two phases.
- A multi-stage cross-flow system in cross-current extraction is used to increase the separation efficiency.
- The number of stages required in cross-current extraction is determined by the distribution coefficient and the flow rates of the phases.
- When the extract and raffinate phases are in equilibrium in each stage, it means that the concentrations of the species in the two phases are equal.
- 1,1,2-Trichloroethane is used as a solvent in cross-current extraction.

Description
This exercise involves extracting a 50% aqueous acetone solution using pure 1,1,2-trichloroethane to achieve a raffinate phase with no more than 10 mol% acetone. The multi-stage cross-flow system with specified throughput and solvent usage requires determining the necessary stages and mass fractions of the extract phase.
