The sensitivity of the plate number and reflux ratio to the description of vapour‐liquid equilibria in the 1 , 1 , 1 ‐trichloroethane– 1 , 2 ‐dichloroethane separation was calculated via case studies. Published experimental data are not sufficiently accurate to satisfy an adequate overdesign of the distillation column. On the other hand, the data are suitable for the design of an extractive distillation.
