Understanding Distillation Using Column Profile Maps

Column Profile Maps (CPMs) provide one versatile tool that can be applied to wide range of separation synthesis problems. This book provides all the necessary guidance to create, optimize, design, and analyze distillation and related separation processes using novel, graphical techniques. Each chapter in this text contains worked-out examples that allow readers to gain a better understanding of the theory presented. The text includes a program for generating CPMs, performing simple column design, and portraying basic aspects of reactive distillation and membrane column design.
