B (kg) If the two-extractor system is designed such that feeding 25 kg of methyl isobutyl ketone to the second extractor will generate a raffinate with a composition of 5% acetone, 2% methyl isobutyl ketone, and 93% water, and an extract with a composition of 26% acetone 69% methyl isobutyl ketone, and 5% water, determine the following: 1. The mass flowrate (kg/h) of the final raffinate stream. 2. The required mass flowrate (kg/h) of the methyl isobutyl ketone in the first extractor. 3. The composition (mass %) of the intermediate raffinate stream. 4. The percentage of the acetone lost in the bottoms.
