Chapter Overview
Batch distillation is the laboratory distillation system,
where a liquid mixture is charged into a still-pot and
heated to boiling. The vapour formed continuously
removed and condensed to produce a distillate. Hence,
compositions of the mixture vary with time and there is
no steady state. Calculation of concentration profile of
the mixture is crucial in designing a batch reactor for a
specific distillation process.
