Consider a ternary mixture composed of 30 mole% benzene, 30 mole% toluene, and 40 mole% -xylene. This mixture, which obeys Raoult's law, is fed to the still of a batch distillation rectifier operating at . Here, the batch rectification begins with total reflux to obtain a steady state, and the distillate is withdrawn after that point. Stages and condenser holdups are assumed constant, equal to 1 and 7.5, respectively.
