Insights into Kaibel Column Design

In this section, we will briefly discuss properties and insights of the four-component Kaibel column by looking at some general column properties and specifically investigating the consequences of imposing a sharp product distribution. It should be noted that this section is based largely on work of Abbas in his Ph.D. thesis (Abbas, 2011) [30]. Throughout this book, we have mainly considered ternary separation problems because they are easily presented in a 2D space which lends
