요약	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 Rosin-Rammler Distribution, introduced by Paul Rosin and Erich Rammler in 1933, is an empirical probability distribution that describes the particle size distribution of ground or crushed materials. It characterizes fineness by two parameters: the characteristic size (d-prime) and the uniformity index (n). This distribution is remarkably accurate for mineral processing streams and is ubiquitous in comminution engineering.
