1,3 PDO recovery with butanone in LLE unit

[zamu2010]

Hi folks,
I am looking in to the possibility of recovering 1,3 PDO in a liquid liquid extraction unit using Butanone as solvent.
How it can be calculate the solvent flowrate and % recovery and etc. Does anyone of you have experience withiin this area.
Thanks in advance for your input on the subject.
Looking to hear your input.

You could read Chapter 9 in Liquid Extraction, 2nd Edition by Robert E. Treybal.
Or you could read Chapter 6 in Thermal Separation Processes by Klaus Sattler and Hans Jacob Feindt
Or you could get a subscription to

to see the documentation for liquid extraction.

HTH,
