Abstract
The fundamental equations for calculating the extent of separation are given for countercurrent multistage systems operated at either zero reflux, partial reflux, or total reflux. With the component distribution coefficients assumed constant, simple expressions for the maximum extent of separation are derived. The calculations clearly show how multistaging and reflux influence component separation.Keywords
