• The system docosane–diphenylhexane (DPH)–furfural is

representative of complex systems encountered in the solvent
refining of lubricating oils. Five hundred kg/h of a 40 wt% mixture
of DPH in docosane are to be extracted in a countercurrent system
with 500 kg/h of a solvent containing 98 wt% furfural and 2 wt%
DPH to produce a raffinate of 5 wt% DPH. Calculate, with a right-
triangle diagram, the stages required and the kg/h of DPH in the
extract at 45C and 80C
