Question

Benzoic acid is to be continuously extracted from a dilute solution in water using toluene in a series of discrete mixer-settler vessels arranged for countercurrent flow of 500 gpm of feed and 750 gpm of solvent. Assuming a residence time, tres, of 2 minutes in each mixer and a settling vessel capacity of 5 gal/min-ft2, estimate:(a) diameter and height of a mixing vessel, assuming H/DT = 1;(b) agitator horsepower for a mixing vessel; (c) diameter and length of a settling vessel, assuming L/DT = 4; and (d) residence time in a
settling vessel in minutes.
