What is the use of slop cut in batch distillation of a multicomponent system?

In multicomponent batch distillation, several main cuts and slop cuts are collected into tanks. A general model (based on a superstructure) is proposed which allows the calculation of the proportion of each slop cut to be added to each initial load and to each new batch in order to optimise the global operation.

What is constant reflux?

Acid reflux occurs when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus relaxes at the wrong time, allowing stomach acid to back up into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and other signs and symptoms. Frequent or constant reflux can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
