1.7 Summary—Objectives

We have explored some of the reasons for studying separations and some of the methods we will use. At
this point you should be able to satisfy the following objectives:

1. Explain how separations are used in a typical chemical plant
2. Define the concepts of equilibrium stages and unit operations
