Question #280038

A solution of washed raw cane sugar is coloured by the presence of impurities. It is to be decolourised by the treatment with an adsorptive carbon in a contact filtration plant. The data for an equilibrium isotherm is given below. The original solution has a colour concentration of 9.6 measured on an arbitrary scale and it is desired to reduce colour to 10% of its original value


Kg carbon/kg solution:




0.001


0.004


0.008


0.02


0.04


Colour units /kg solution


9.6


8.6


6.3


4.3


1.7


0.7




Convert the data to a suitable form for plotting the equilibrium isotherm and determine the quantity of fresh carbon required per 1000 kg of solution for a two stage counter-current operation?


Explain briefly with step by step process?
