3.3.3.- Sorel method
3.4.- Efficiencies of stage and overall efficiency.
3.5.- Correction of multicomponent mixes
3.5.1.- Rapid ("short-cut") methods
3.5.2.-Rigorous methods.
3.6.- Distillation of azeotropic mixtures.
4.- Discontinuous distillation
4.1.- Discontinuous simple distillation

During the course there will be master classes where the concepts of subject topics will be introduced. In each topic, the examples of calculation or design will be introduced and problems will be given for home work. One exercice will be carried out at home which will be scored.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The subject will be evaluated by means of an exercice (15% of the mark) and 3 tests: 2 tests (20 and 25% of the mark each) and an exam final (40% of the note). Students who do not pass the subject will have a retake exam that will have at least one exercise of each of the three tests. A student will be considered non-evaluable (NA) if it has not assisted in to a minimum of 60% of the total grade of the subject (that is, at least one partial test and final test).
For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. If the student does not submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
Honor enrollments Granting an honorific matriculation qualification is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that can lead to a variation in the rating of an evaluation act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarizing, cheating, copying, etc. In any of the assessment activities it will imply failing with a zero. Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recovered
