Question None Q.3: Seed containing 22% by wt of oil are extracted counter-currently with oil-free hexane assolvent. Calculate the number of theoretical stages needed if 90% of the oil is removed inextract with 40% by wt of oil, and the amount of solution in the under flow from each stage is0.6 kg/kg insoluble material.
