Question 2 A slurry of flaked soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and 90 wt% solvent hexane. This slurry is contacted with 100 kg of pure hexane in a single stage so that the value of N for the outlet underflow is 1.5 kg insoluble solid/kg solution retained. Calculate the amounts and compositions of the overflow R₁ and the underflow E₁ leaving the stage.
