Distillation Science

by Larry Coleman

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This is a ten-part series of technical articles on Distillation Science, as is currently practiced on an industrial level. It is organized as it would be used for the process design of large-scale distillation columns, which may differ from the way topics are introduced to students academically. As a part of distillation column design, these articles also involve the vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) of binary systems, with potential extension to multi-component systems.
