Abstract
A theoretical analysis of rectification of the ternary system TBP-CCl4-H2O is based on an extension of the principle of constant molar overflow to a system of separating phases for which “fictitious” component concentrations are introduced, based on the total for both liquid phases.
The equation obtained for the operating graph is formally analogous to that for rectification of a homogeneous two-component system; the difference is that it contains “fictitious” component concentrations in the condensed phase. The authors give a sample calculation of the mass and heat balance of the column.
