Data: 1. Each 100 kg of dirty bedding contains 2.0 kg of dirt. 2. 95% of the dirt in the dirty bedding is removed before the bedding goes on to the rinse stage. 3. For each 100 kg of dirty bedding, 25 kg of CKD leaves with the clean bedding of which 22 kg is wrung back into the tub. 4. The detergent that enters the tub contains 97% CKD, and that which enters the filter contains 87%. The wet dirt that leaves the filter contains 8% CKD. (a) How much pure CKD must be supplied per 100 kg of dirty bedding? (b) What is the composition of the recycled stream?

2. A group of young, unemployed (but entrepreneurial) recent UWI Chemical Engineering Graduates have
developed a liquid detergent which they claim is highly effective in killing the Corona virus. Called Corona
Killer Detergent (CKD) it is not only supposed to be effective when washing one's hands but also as a
laundry detergent. They are in the process of developing protocols for its use in the laundry at the Couva
and Caura (COVID-19) Hospitals.
The following is a diagram of the sheet and pillow case (bedding) cleaning process being developed by the
young engineers using CKD.
CKD
Dirty Bedding
Clean Bedding to rinse stage
AGITATED
Pure CKD
97% CKD
87% CKD
8% CKD
TUB
FILTER
Recycled CKD
The bedding spends 30 minutes in an agitated tub containing CKD, and is then wrung out and sent to a
rinse stage. The dirty CKD is sent to a filter in which most of the dirt is removed, and the cleaned CKD is
recycled back to join a stream of pure CKD, with the combined stream serving as the feed to the washtub.
Data:
1. Each 100 kg of dirty bedding contains 2.0 kg of dirt.
2. 95% of the dirt in the dirty bedding is removed before the bedding goes on to the rinse stage.
3. For each 100 kg of dirty bedding, 25 kg of CKD leaves with the clean bedding of which 22 kg is wrung
back into the tub.
4. The detergent that enters the tub contains 97% CKD, and that which enters the filter contains 87%.
The wet dirt that leaves the filter contains 8% CKD.
(a) How much pure CKD must be supplied per 100 kg of dirty bedding?
(b) What is the composition of the recycled stream?
