Sequence of Ideal Mixtures Reversible Distillation

Column Sequence of Ideal Mixtures Reversible Distillation 

As far as only one component can be exhausted in each section of the reversible distillation column (i.e., this component is absent in the product of this section), the system of columns shown in Fig. 4.4 (for n = 3) or in Fig. 4.5 (for n = 4) will be required to perform the complete separation of a multicomponent mixture into pure components.
