Understanding Relative Volatility in Distillation by RM jahanzaib Iqbal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Relative volatility is a measure of the ease of separating components in a liquid mixture using distillation. It compares the vapor pressures of the components, with a higher value indicating easier separation. Specifically, it is defined as the ratio of the vapor-liquid equilibrium mole fraction of the more volatile component in the vapor phase to the less volatile component in the liquid phase. A relative volatility greater than 1 means distillation can separate the components. Relative volatilities are k
