Mass Transfer
If the solubilities of different components (in a liquid-liquid extraction system) increase with rise in temperature, then the temperature above which they dissolve completely is known as the critical solution temperature (CST or consolute temperature). If solubilities increase with decrease in temperature, then CST is the temperature below which they dissolve completely. If a binary system has no critical solution temperature, it implies that
The system comprises of partially mis-cible liquids
The system comprises of miscible liquids
On heating, a vapor phase will appear ; while on cooling, a solid phase will appear
The distribution curve which is a plot between x (acetone concentration in one phase) and y (acetone concentration in other phase) is analogous to x-y curve used in distillation and absorption termina
As the acetone concentration increases, the solubility curves approach each other
All of these
Both the phases become identical at a particular common point on both the solubility curves called the plait point
