Abstract (EN): Phase diagrams for simultaneous chemical reaction and phase equilibrium are presented for ideal and non-ideal systems. It is shown that reactive-azeotropes can occur even for ideal mixtures. The conditions for formation of reactive-azeotropes in constant-volatility systems are derived. These conditions show that for such systems reactive-azeotropes can occur only when the volatilities of the reactants are either all higher or all lower than the volatilities of the products. © 1988.
