Kokkuvõte	The McCabe-Thiele Method, introduced by Warren L. McCabe and Ernest W. Thiele in 1925, is a graphical technique for designing and analyzing distillation columns. It predicts the number of theoretical plates (stages) needed to achieve a desired separation between light and heavy components. While primarily a chemical engineering tool, it applies to liquid-vapor separation problems in mining operations such as mercury recovery and rare earth element refining.	The Tromp Curve, introduced by K. Tromp in 1937, is an empirical model that quantifies the performance of size classifiers (cyclones, screens, jigs) by showing the fraction of particles at each size that report to the target stream (overflow or underflow). It is universally used in mineral processing to evaluate classifier performance, design circuits, and diagnose operational problems.
