Steady state equimolal counter diffusion occurs in case of ____________________?
Correct answer: D. Binary phase distillation
- A. Leaching
- B. Absorption
- C. Liquid-liquid extraction
- D. Binary phase distillation
Explanation
Binary phase distillation is commonly analysed using steady-state equimolal counterdiffusion, where the molar flow of one component upward balances the other downward. This assumption makes the total molar flow approximately constant in each section.
