In this configuration, the available separation section (tray or packed) is utilised in rectifying mode, with product cuts (recovered) and intermediate off-cut fractions (disposed of or recycled) collected as condensed distillate. A final residue bottom fraction may also be a desired product. Conventional column configuration has been discussed in section 1.4 of Chapter 1. Further details are given in later chapters.

Economics. Many constmction clients will have concerns about the environment and may specify some sustainable elements for their consti uction. Construction waste management costs are largely dependent on the size of the project. The recyclability. depends on quantity, quality, and the inherent value of the waste material. The issues for builders centre on the relative cost and bother factor of recycling (collection, separation, and transportation), against landfill tipping fees, and transportation. For plasterboard, at present material costs are low and costs of disposal to landfill are low, so there is little economic incentive to segregate and recycle plasterboard waste.
