Please help set up using a Material Balance Table!!
Solve and find all streams!!
In the production of bean oil, beans containing 13.0 % wt oil
and 87.0 % wt solids are ground and fed to a stirred tank (the
extractor) along with a recycled stream of liquid n-hexane. the
feed ratio is 3kg hexane/kg beans. the ground beans are suspended
in the liquid, and essentially all of the oil in the beans is
extracted into the hexane. the extractor effluent passes to a
filter. the filter cake contains 75.0 % wt bean solides and the
balance bean oil and hexane, the latter two in the same ratio in
which they emerge from the extractor. the filter cake is discarded
and the liquid filtrate is fed into a heated evaporator in which
the hexane is vaporized and the oil remains as a liquid. the oil is
stored in drums and shipped. the hexane vapor is subsequently
cooled and condensed, and the liquid hexane condensate is recycled
into the extractor.
