Abstract: In this study the mass transfer efficiency of HOLPACK packing is investigated in ethanol-water rectification in terms of high ethanol concentrations. The results are compared with previous study of this packing for low ethanol concentrations. The comparison shows variation of the efficiency depending on the investigated composition area. The reason is sought in highly variable physicochemical properties of the system, its vapor-liquid equilibrium character and the different influence of some effects on mass transfer. The most part of the rectification column operates in the range of the highest concentrations, due to the specific type of this system equilibrium. Therefore it is important to study the process in these conditions.
