Notes:
An equation for the prediction of the separation of a multicomponent mixture in equilibrium stage processes is presented. The equation is applicable to extraction processes with up to three feeds (an intermediate feed, a feed at the extract end, and the solvent feed at the raffinate end) and both raffinate and extract reflux. In its simplest form (simple extraction, stripping, or absorption) the equation reduces to the familiar Kremser equation. The use of the equation to solve multicomponent distillation and extraction problems is illustrated by examples.
