Thermal separation processes contribute significantly to energy and resource consumption in the process industry. This applies, for example, to rectification columns in which the thermal separation of substances takes place in countercurrent flow. In this process, mainly mixtures are separated which, due to their material properties, differ strongly from the extensively investigated water/air systems. The lack of design data for organic material systems is challenging for the design of separation processes and the operation of separation columns and often results in large safety margins and oversized apparatus and plants. There is a need for research regarding
