Mechanism
Solid-Liquid Extraction (Leaching)
involves the removal of a soluble fraction (solute or leachant) of a
solid material by a liquid solvent
Overflow
solvent + most
of the solute
Underflow
solids wet with
almost pure solvent
CHE135-1P: SEPARATION PROCESSES
Wash Stages
used to reduce the
concentration of solute in the
liquid portion of the underflow
The solute diffuses
from inside the solid
into the surrounding
solvent.
Applications:
• Removal of copper
from ore using
sulfuric acid
• Extraction of sugar
beets using hot
water
• Recovery of proteins
and other natural
products from
bacterial cells

Equilibrium Stage Model for Leaching
Assumptions:
• The solid feed consists of a solute that is completely
soluble in the solvent and an inert substance that is not.
• Leaching is rapid such that it is completed in a single
leaching stage.
• All overflow streams are assumed to be free of solids.

V

L

y
Mass fraction of solute in the
overflow
x
Mass fraction of solute in the
underflow
If conditions of equilibrium are met, the
concentration of the solution leaving a stage is
the same as the concentration of the solution
adhering to the inerts. The equilibrium
relationship is, therefore, xe = ye.
6
Equilibrium Stage Model for Leaching
An ideal leaching or washing stage is one where:
Any entering solid solute is completely dissolved into the liquid in the
stage (assuming that the liquid contains sufficient solvent).
The composition of the liquid in the stage is uniform throughout,
including any liquid within pores of the inert solid.
Solute is not adsorbed on the surfaces of the inert solid.
The inert solids leaving in the underflow from each stage are wet with
liquid, such that the mass ratio of solvent in that liquid (or the total
liquid) to inert solids is constant from stage to stage.
Because the composition of the liquid in the stage is uniform
throughout, the concentration of solute in the overflow is equal to
that in the liquid portion of the underflow (equilibrium assumption).
Overflows contain no solids.
Solvent is not vaporized, adsorbed or crystallized in a stage.

Equilibrium Stage Model for Leaching
A finely divided solids feed, F, of 150 kg/h, containing 1/3 water-soluble Na2CO3 and 2/3 insoluble ash
is to be leached and washed at 30ο‚°C in a two-stage, countercurrent system with 400 kg/h of water.
The leaching stage consists of an agitated vessel that discharges the slurry into a thickener. The
washing stage consists of a second thickener. Experiments show that the sludge underflow from each
thickener will contain 2 kg of liquid (water and carbonate) per kg of insoluble ash. Assume ideal
stages.
a. Calculate the percent recovery of carbonate in the final extract.
b. If a third stage is added, calculate the amount of additional carbonate that will be
recovered.
CHE135-1P: SEPARATION PROCESSES

Equilibrium Stage Model for Leaching
In the previous example (part b), leaching was assumed to be completed in one stage, with two
additional stages provided for washing. The recovery of the solute in the extract was 89.8%.
Recalculate this example, assuming that ½ of the carbonate is leached in the first stage and the
remaining ½ on the second stage, leaving only the last stage as a true washing stage.

Two tons (4,000 lb) per day of waxed paper containing 25 wt% soluble wax and 75 wt% insoluble pulp
are to be dewaxed by leaching with kerosene in a continuous, countercurrent contacting system. The
wax will be completely dissolved by the kerosene in the leaching stage L. Subsequent washing stages
will be used to reduce the wax content in the liquid adhering to the pulp leaving the last stage N, to
0.2 lb wax/100 lb pulp. The kerosene entering the system is recycled from a solvent-recovery system
and contains 0.05 lb wax per 100 lb kerosene. The final extract is to contain 5 lb wax per 100 lb
kerosene. Experiments show that the underflow from each stage will contain 2 lb kerosene per lb
insoluble pulp. Determine the number of washing stages required.
