Abstract

AbstractA short‐cut explicit expression is presented for distillation at total reflux that predicts the time it takes to shift the reboiler composition from an initial charge composition to the final steady state composition.The prediction is of interest when handling low relative volatility mixtures, as in isomeric or isotopic distillations, where the startups involve times in the order of a day or more.
