Which of the following unit operations makes use of Thiele-Geddes equation ?
Correct answer: A. Multi-component distillation
- A. Multi-component distillation
- B. Solid-liquid extraction
- C. Multi-component absorption with chemical reaction
- D. Liquid-liquid extraction
Explanation
The Thiele-Geddes method is a stage-by-stage calculation for multicomponent distillation, using component material balances and stage efficiencies or equilibrium relations. It is not the standard equation for liquid-liquid or solid-liquid extraction.
