Ternary Systems - Liquid Liquid Extraction:
A liquid extractor is used to try to remove acetone from a water stream using methyl isobutyl
ketone (MIBK). A flowchart of the process is shown (below). Phase behavior data is given in
the ternary diagram (also below). Determine the following for this system:
a. The overall composition (M) for the process. Plot its location as point M on the
ternary diagram.
b. The composition of the extract and raffinate streams. Plot their locations on the
ternary diagram as points E and R, respectively.
