The fundamental equations for calculating the extent of separation are given for four different types of multicontact separation systems: crosscurrent distribution with discrete equilibrium contacts, crosscurrent distribution with differential contact, countercurrent distribution with discrete equilibrium contacts (binomial distribution), and countercurrent distribution with differential contact (Poisson distribution). Optimum values for the number of contacts, tube cutoff point, extent of separation, and distribution coefficients are derived. A method for comparing all separation techniques on an equivalent basis is proposed.
