In this example, furfural and water have some miscibility regions towards components. A binary mixture furfural and water will always split into two liquid phases, one with 95% furfural, 5% water and the other with 92% water, 8% furfural. Consider a 100 kg mixture (F) of 58% water and 42% ethylene glycole. The aim is to use 300 kg of pure furfural as a solvent (S) to extract ethylene glycol from water. What are the values of the extract and raffinate?
