A New Approach to Calculating Minimum Reflux Condition During Multicomponent Mixture Fractionation

  • CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND EQUIPMENT
  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

The article reviews the most common analytical methods for calculating the parameters of minimum reflux condition during fractionation of multicomponent mixtures, taking account of the specified separation products quality requirements. A calculation procedure that makes it possible to simplify determination of minimum reflux or vapor ratios as well as of distillate or residue compositions under minimum reflux condition compared to the known methods is proposed and described.
