Procedure to Qualitatively Represent Residue Curve Maps and Analyze the Possible Existence of Distillation Boundaries

The analysis of residue curve maps is essential to know the VLE behavior of a ternary mixture, the possible existence of distillation boundaries and therefore different distillation regions in the ternary composition diagram, and the corresponding areas where the different … Continue reading
