A general form of material balance equations to be used to calculate quasi-binary sections of multi-component phase diagrams is derived here. When this general equation is reduced to ternary systems, it coincides with those, given in the Thermo-Calc manual. For a k-component system, altogether only (k-2) such independent equations should be written from the list of k(k-1)/2 possible equations.

An approach to the determination of free variables required for calculating the material balance of the flowsheet of ternary mixtures separation is presented. Phase diagrams of the considered ternary systems are characterized by the presence of a two-phase splitting area and by the presence of different amounts of azeotropes (classes 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2.1 and 3.3.1). For all the systems flowsheets containing three rectification columns and a florentine vessel for separation were suggested. The multivariance of the solution of the balance problem was shown. The approach was illustrated by the example of real ternary systems characterized by different phase diagrams (methanol - chloroform - water, butyl alcohol - water - toluene, nitromethane - hexane - water). The parameters of the rectification columns were presented.
