Transformation of diagrams of pseudoazeotropic mixtures

Some aspects of the transformation of diagrams of pseudoazeotropic mixtures are considered in the framework of the bifurcation theory. The results of the consideration are of fundamental importance for the development, implementation, and analysis of extractive distillation of mixtures with one nonvolatile (or low-volatile) component serving as an extractive agent.Translated from Teoreticheskie Osnovy Khimicheskoi Tekhnologii, Vol. 39, No. 2, 2005, pp. 192–198.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Serafimov, Frolkova, Tatsievskaya.
