SummaryiThe
method of BOWMAN-CICHF.LLT for determination of minimum reflux and plate requirements in binary batch distillations has been extended with a relation between these minimum requirements and the number of plates and reflux ratio to be used in practice. In the case that the concentrations in the column are in equilibrium with the bottom concentration at any moment during the distillation the effect of holdup, too, is accounted for.
The application of the method of calculation has been simplified by the construction of three alignment charts with three additional diagrams.
An experimenta. verification showed the method also to be applicable to systems with more than two components, if certain conditions are fulfilled.
The concentrations in the column not in equilibrium with the bottom concentration give rise to an actual reflux ratio lower than that calculated; in some csses it may even be lower than t.he minimum reflux ratio.
Zusammsnfsssong-Die BOWMAN-CICHELLI Methode fur die Bestimmung der Minimum Riicklauf-und Bodenansprtiche in bin&en diskontinuierlichen Distillationsverfahren ist durch eine Beziehung zwischen diesen Minimum Ansprtichen und der in der Praxis anzuwendenden Bodenzahl und Riicklaufverhiiltnis erweitert worden. Falls die Konzentrationen in der Kolonne in jedem Augenbliok nut der Blasenkonzeutration im Gleichgewicht stehen ist such der Effekt des ,,Holdups" berticksichtigt.
Die Pnwendung der Berechnungsmethode ist durch die Konstruktion von drei Nomogrammen mit drei Zusatzdiagrammen vereinfacht worden.
Es konnte experimentell gezeigt werden, da13 die Methode such anzuwenden ist fiir Systeme mit mehr als zwei Komponenten wenn gewissen Bedingungen entsprochen worden ist.
Wenn die Konzentrationen in der Kolonne nioht mit der Blasenkonzentration im Gleichgewicht stehen, hat dies zur Folge, da13 das wirkliche Rticklaufverhiiltnis niedriger als das berechnete ist ; in einigen Fallen kann es sogar niedriger sein als das Minimum Riicklaufverhiiltnis.
Calculation methods for binary separations by batch rectification have been given by various authors.
ROSE and co-workers [9,10,12,13,14] have shown how the distillation curve may be computed if reflux ratio, plate number and holdup are known. BOGART [2], EDGEWORTH-JOHNSTONE [6,7] and Yu CHIN CHU [17] gave methods for calculating the yield of the volatile component when the reflux ratio is continuously increased in order to keep the purity of the product

## Aact-It is sometimes suggested that the number of plates required in chromatography is approximately equal to the square of the number required for distillation. It is shown that this proposition overestimates the number of chromatographic plates by a factor of at least 5 and typically about 30
In this paper we describe plateby-plate calculations of separation columns using finite difference equations. The calculations were performed on the WEIZAC digital computer. The purpose of the calculations was essentially twofold: (a) comparison of various ideal cascades among themselves and with co
