Method for analyzing the structures of reactive distillation diagrams

A method for analyzing the structures of reactive distillation phase diagrams in systems involving several chemical reactions is proposed and described in detail by the example of the reactions 2C D and D A + B. An algorithm for determining the position of the chemical equilibrium manifold in the concentration simplex, its dimension, and the types of singular points is put forward.Translated from Teoreticheskie Osnovy Khimicheskoi Tekhnologii, Vol. 39, No. 1, 2005, pp. 7–18.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Tishaeva, Shuvalov, Pisarenko, Serafimov.
