  1. Fractional Distillation

    Linked via "Fenske equation"

    In contrast to simple distillation, which models a single equilibrium stage, fractional distillation relies on the concept of the theoretical plate (TP). A theoretical plate represents a hypothetical zone within the column where the liquid phase is in perfect thermodynamic equilibrium with the vapor phase ascending from it. The number of TPs dictates the separation power; a higher number of TPs allows for the resolution of components with very similar [bo…
