McCabe & Thiele Graphical Method
Distillation is one of the most ubiquitous methods for the separation of chemicals. The simplest distillation column has three streams: feed, distillate, and bottom (or residue). Feed is the mixture that is treated using the distillation column in order to separate its constituents. Feed can be a binary or a multicomponent mixture of chemicals. Distillate and bottom are subject to product purity specifications.
