Step:
1. Draw lines parallel to the adjacent side
of the triangle from each ends of tie
line (DH-EH, AJ-BJ, and so on)
2. Connect the dots where the lines
intersect to make a conjugate line.
3. Interpolate new tie lines using
conjugate line.
Step:
1. Draw equilibrium data in ternary diagram
2. Draw the known feed & solvent points in the ternary diagram
LLE WITH TERNARY Mixing Point represent the combined composition of feed F and solvent S
Step:
3. Determine Mixing Point (M) composition by
material balance or Inverse Lever Rule
Feed Solvent Mixing
(F) (S) Point (M)
XA 0.24 0.00 0.171
Flow 250 100 350 Now we can draw point M on the ternary diagram
rate
LLE WITH TERNARY Mixing Point is always located on the straight line connecting F and S!

SYSTEM Since Mixing Point is always located on the straight line connecting F and S,
we can determine length ratio of S-F and S-M lines:

Mixer-Settler Unit
• Often used in industry
• Consists of two parts: a
mixer for contacting two
liquid phase; and a settler
for mechanical separation.
