A countercurrent system is to treat (on an hourly
basis) 10 tons of gangue (inert material), 1.2 tons of copper
sulfate, and 0.5 tons of water with water as a fresh solvent. The
solution produced is 10 percemt copper
sulphate (remainder water). After each stage. 1 ton of inert
retains two tons of water plus dissolved copper
sulphate. How many stages are needed for a 98 percent of copper
sulphate recovery?
