Abstract
Based on the mass balance and the vapour–liquid equilibrium, the number of necessary stages for the separation and the required reflux ratio are determined using graphical and calculation methods. A shortcut method is given for a quick estimation. The influence of the thermal condition of the feed product on the separation and the column loading is discussed.
