Extraction cascade with slow chemical reaction

6 Countercurrent Extraction Cascade with Slow Chemical Reaction 

A countercurrent extraction cascade with reaction A + B — C is shown in Fig. 3.35. The reaction takes place between a solute A in the L-phase, which is transferred to the G-phase by the process of mass transfer, where it then reacts with a second component, B, to form an inert product, C, such that A, B and C are all present in the G-phase. 

The general component balance form of equation gives 

Components B and C are both immiscible in phase L and remain in phase G. Therefore 

Assuming the liquid phases remain immiscible, the modelling approach for multicomponent systems remains the same, except that it is now necessary to write additional component balance equations for each of the solutes present, as for the multistage extraction cascade with backmixing in Section 3.2.2. Thus for component j, the component balance equations become
