The Impact of Reflux Ratio on Rectification Column Theoretical Plate Number

Abstract:

In this paper, the computer-aided calculation is introduced to study the influences of the reflux ratio on the theoretical plate number of rectification column. It is found that the number of theoretical plates of rectification column is increasing as the decreasing of the reflux ratio, which is mainly caused by the increasing of the plate number in rectifying section. On the other hand, it is found that when reflux ratio is reduced in small interval, the theoretical plate number is increased in a zigzag shape. This interesting phenomenon is analyzed in depth and a reasonable explanation is given.
