Abstract

The influence of size of random errors in the determination of ternary liquid-liquid equilibrium concentrations on the accuracy of the calculated number of theoretical stages of a countercurrent extractor is evaluated by using five hypothetical systems differing in the extent of mutual solubility of components, tie-line slope, and type of binodal curve.
