Batch Distillation: Design and Operation (Series on Chemical Engineering ¿ Vol. 3)

Batch distillation process has existed for many centuries. It is perhaps the oldest technology for separating or purifying liquid mixtures and is the most frequently used separation method in batch processes. In the last 25 years, with continuous development of faster computers and sophisticated numerical methods, there have been many published work to address several important issues such as selection of column configurations, design, operation, off-cut recycle, use of batch distillation in reactive and extractive mode, etc. using detailed mathematical models with rigorous physical property calculations and advanced optimisation techniques.
Batch Distillation: Design and Operation presents excellent and important contributions of many researchers from around the globe and those of the author and his co-workers.

.,." introduces the reader to the practice, by presenting design and operation techniques that have been demonstrated to be useful.?
