K values and relative volatility values :

K Values Diagram (with UNIQUAC Best-Fit Curve), Mixture of Chloroform/Methanol There can be VLE data for mixtures of four or more components, but such a boiling point diagram is hard to show in either tabular or graphical form. For such multicomponent mixtures, as well as binary mixtures, the vaporliquid equilibrium data are represented in terms of values (vapor-liquid distribution ratios) defined by

where yi and xi are the mole fractions of component i in the phases y and x, respectively. The values of the ratio Ki are correlated empirically or theoretically in terms of temperature, pressure and phase compositions in the form of equations, tables or graph such as the DePriester charts. For binary mixtures, the ratio of the volatility denoted by values for the two components is called the relative

which is a measure of the relative ease or difficulty of separating the two components. Largescale industrial distillation is rarely undertaken if the relative volatility is less than 1.05 with the volatile component being and the less volatile component being . values are widely used in the design calculations of continuous distillation columns for distilling multicomponent mixtures.
