• For a liquid mixture of two components (called a binary mixture) at a given temperature and pressure, the relative volatility is defined as α = ( y i / x i ) ( y j / x j ) = K i / K j {\displaystyle \alpha ={\frac {(y_{i}/x_{i})}{(y_{j}/x_{j})}}=K_{i}/K_{j}} When their liquid concentrations are equal, more volatile components have higher vapor pressures than less volatile components. (wikipedia.org)
• Thus, for the distillation of any multi-component mixture, the relative volatility is often defined as α = ( y L K / x L K ) ( y H K / x H K ) = K L K / K H K {\displaystyle \alpha ={\frac {(y_{LK}/x_{LK})}{(y_{HK}/x_{HK})}}=K_{LK}/K_{HK}} Large-scale industrial distillation is rarely undertaken if the relative volatility is less than 1.05.
