  1. A counter-current extraction column is designed to remove 99% of solute C from a solution of solvent A and solute C using pure solvent B. The initial concentration of solute in the solution of A + C is 20 wt %, and the total flow of solution is 1000 kg/h. If the equilibrium relationship is Y = 2X , where Y = mass of C/mass of A and X = mass of C/mass of B.
    I f the flow rate of B is 2400 kg/h, then the theoretical number of stages in the column, using Kremser's equation (adjusted to the next integer) is
