A 700-L batch of process water, VII, is contaminated with 100 kg/m3 (100 g/L) of acetone,
Laboratory experiments have shown that acetone can be removed from water by contacting the water–acetone solution with 1,1,2-TCE, an organic solvent, which must be carefully handled because of its toxic properties.

00 L, V¹
of TCE is available with
i.e., there is no acetone initially in the TCE. How much acetone can be removed from the water? A pilot plant vessel (Figure 4.1) is available for this operation and we can use either Vessel A or B described in Example 3.1.
