1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Excess Feed Material Recovery System of the SOLTEQ® Chemical Process PilotPlant (Model: BP533-CPP) can be used to demonstrate the efficiency of separation andrecovery of recyclable materials. The apparatus requires a cold water, hot liquid from heatexchanger system, and a triple phase electrical outlet to enable a series of simplemeasurements to be made by students needing an introduction to excess feed materialrecovery design and operation. This experiment allows the student to understand someimportant things in this system which are:
Mass and energy balances Concept in separation process mainly in liquid-liquid extraction Liquid sampling on the bottom of extraction column to determine the practicalseparation behavior of the particular mixture.
This experiment consists of two important equipments which are extraction column andsolvent recovery column. Two flowrate transmitter are installed in both inlet of extractioncolumn (top and bottom column) and valves are incorporated in both inlet to regulate theflow. On the other hand, one temperature measuring device are installed in the outlet ofsolvent recovery column.
The process flow diagram for the excess feed material recovery system is given in Figure1

3.0 SUMMARY OF THEORY
When separation by distillation is ineffective or very difficult, liquid-liquid extraction is one ofthe main alternatives to consider. Close boiling mixtures or substances that cannotwithstand the temperature of distillation, even under a vacuum, may often be separatedfrom impurities by extraction, which utilizes chemical differences instead of vapor pressuredifferences.
Separation by liquid-liquid extraction can be defined as the selective removal of one ormore components either from a homogeneous liquid mixture or from a solution, using asecond liquid or solvent, which is partially or wholly immiscible with the first.
The following terms are widely used to describe the different streams in a liquid-liquidextraction system:
F : FeedS : Solvent
R : RaffinateE : Extract

SOLTEQ® CHEMICAL PROCESS PILOT PLANT (EXCESS FEED MATERIAL RECOVERY SYSTEM) (Model: BP533-CPP)
The liquid used to strip the solute from the feed is referred to as the solvent. However,solvent is a general term and should not be confused with the feed solvent or diluent. The
solvent after becoming enriched in solute leaves the system as the extract.It is also important to define the composition of the four streams and this may be done inseveral ways:
a) Molar concentration = mol/dm3 (note numerically this is the same as kmol/m3)b) Molal concentration = mol/kg
c) Mole fraction, x A =
molesof no.Total
Amolesof No.
d) Mole ratio, x A/B =Bmolesof No.
Amolesof No.
e) Mass fraction, x A =massTotal
Aof Mass
f) Mass ratio, x A/B =Bof Mass
Aof Mass
Note: Fractions and ratios are dimensionless and may also be expressed in percent (%).The common basis used in most literatures are either mole or mass fraction.
Since liquid-liquid extraction involves a 3-component system, a graphical representation ofthe liquid mixtures is usually employed. There are two graphical systems, namely:
) R t l di t

Figure 3: A Typical 3-Component System Representation on an Equilateral Triangular Diagram The individual components of the chosen ternary system are usually represented bysymbols as follows:
A = SoluteB = DiluentC = Solvent
The assignment of symbols are arbitrary. Confusion shall not arise as long as the apex forthe solute is at the top while the bottom apexes are for the solvent and diluent.
Referring to Figure 3, the curve on the triangular diagram is called the binodal or solubilitycurve of the ternary system. The curve, which is essentially a combination of diluent-richand solvent-rich curves, separates the upper region of stable single phase mixture from thelower region of unstable mixture, which tends to separate into two phases.
The compositions of extract, E and raffinate, R are connected by tie-lines having differentslopes (i.e. not parallel). The tie lines get shorter as they get away from the x-axis, andeventually they converge at a point P (plait point). The point P is not normally the highestpart of the curve.
The number of theoretical stages can be determined graphically by constructing operatinglines and tie-lines on the binodal/solubility curves, as outlined in Figure 4. Consequently,
