Synthesis of Mass-Exchange Networks: A Graphical Approach

This chapter addresses mass-separating agents, lean phases for selectively removing certain components from a rich phase. It also defines the problem of synthesizing mass-exchange networks (MENs), and provides a graphical approach for synthesizing MENs. The MEN-targeting approach is based on the identification of performance targets ahead of design and without prior commitment to the final network configuration.
