INTRODUCTION
The concept of the ideal stage, which has enabled the rapid calculation of compartmentalized operations in distillation and liquid-liquid extraction (without predicting what this ideal stage will actually be), can be applied with the same success to other operations. Those covered in this article involve a liquid and a gas (absorption, desorption) or a solid and a liquid or a gas (solid-liquid extraction and adsorption). The methodology used to calculate these operations is the same as that used for distillation and liquid-liquid extraction.
