Equilibrium Staged Separations using Matlab and Mathematica

Housam Binous

We show a new approach, based on the utilization of Matlab and Mathematica, for solving liquid-liquid extraction and binary distillation problems. In addition, the author shares his experience using these two softwares to teach equilibrium staged separations at the National Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology.

Key words: Liquid-liquid extraction, Hunter-Nash diagram, distillation, McCabe-Thiele method
