1 INTRODUCTION
The distillation or rectification process is widely used
in the chemical and oil refining industries
(Yusufbekov et al., 2015; Askarov & Isomiddinov,
2021; Askarov & Mukhammadsodiqov, 2021;
Askarov & Axunboev, 2021; Xidirberdiyevich et al.,
2020). In the implementation of this process, it is
intended to conduct a theoretical study of the material
and heat balances of the rectification column
apparatus using large-scale plate columns (Abdullah
et al., 2023; Uralovich et al., 2023; Rakhmankulovna
& Makhmudovich, 2020; Mirmakhmutovich et al.,
2019; Rahimov et al., 2024; Askarov et al., 2024;
Rakhimov et al., 2024; Makhmudov et al., 2024;
Makhmudov & Abduraimova, 2020). The scheme of
the experimental device of the rectification process is
shown in Figure 1, and a brief classification of the
device is as follows. The steam leaving the column
cube 1 is transferred to the rectification column 2 and,
colliding on the contact surface plates 3, the two-
component phases are separated and fall into the
residue cube 4. In this process, the liquid is separated
into two components, namely, reflux F and distillate.
It is possible to write the material balance
according to the given process scheme (Fig. 1) as
follows:

As for the light volatile component, it is as
follows:

The ratio of the reflux ratio to the reflux ratio
is called the reflux ratio R. The supply plate of the
rectification column divides it into 2 upper and lower
parts. Based on the general equation, we construct the
material balance equations for the upper and lower
parts of the column:

It can be seen that equations (10) and (11)
represent the straight line in Figure 2. Thus, equations
(10) and (11) represent the operating line of the upper
and lower parts of the rectification column. The
operating line is distinguished by its smooth and
uneven state.

The recommended laboratory setup (Figure 1-3)
shows that the advantages of the plate-based
atmospheric-vacuum distillation process over the old
processes are that it does not require complex
technological processes and has a robust and simple
design. Theoretical calculations show that the new
plate surface improves heat transfer, and an increase
in acetic acid regeneration in atmospheric-vacuum
distillation by 19% is achieved.

Such a plate construction can be used not only in
the chemical industry, but also in the rectification
column apparatus of the primary oil refining
processes in the oil refining industry.
3 CONCLUSION
This study focuses on the separation methods used in
a laboratory-scale rectification column, particularly
examining the process of fractionation using steam.
The construction and operational principles of the
rectification column are discussed in detail. The
research highlights that the rectification column
facilitates the effective separation of acetic acid with
minimal losses during continuous operation,
specifically utilizing plate constructions for improved
efficiency. These findings contribute to the
understanding and optimization of separation
processes in industrial applications.
