The optimal control method used solved the problem of optimizing a multicomponent batch distillation campaign using variable reflux ratios. The very first solution, whereas the initial parameters still not varied, brought the greatest yield, and was shown to be almost 10% better than those reported by Bonny . However, due to the existence of two succession of chattering arcs concatenated by a singular arc, this solution would be hard to apply in industry. For this reason, the investigations toward the influence of parameters named as total pressure at the top of the column, initial mixture composition, and tray hold-up, were done. As the outcome, clear "cyclic reflux ratio policies" were obtained only after the initial mixture composition changed to contain less than 15% of cyclohexane and n-heptane in total, and total top pressure was reduced by 5% compared to the standard atmospheric pressure. However, the latter policy requires even five batches to achieve the same recovery rate, this is at the cost of the total batch time as it should be increased by 16.67%. Future research will take into consideration: 1) the minimum boiling azeotrope ternary mixture case separated in an inverted batch column, and, 2) the ternary mixture containing two pressure-sensitive minimum boiling azeotropes in a double-rectifier column configuration.
