 In this paper, we describe a Mathematica program for the design of distillation columns, clearly a very important topic in chemical industry. In particular, we consider McCabe-Thiele's procedure, which is a graphical method for designing distillation columns for binary mixtures. We take advantage of the symbolic, numerical and graphical Mathematica capabilities to create a general program that can be applied to any kind of binary distillation column. The performance of this program is shown through some illustrative examples.
