Abstract (EN): The equations describing the simple distillation of homogeneous reactive mixtures are derived, and residue curve maps are computed for ideal and non-ideal systems. These maps show that, by allowing the components of a liquid mixture to react, we can either create or eliminate distillation boundaries. It is also shown that not all non-reactive azeotropes appear as products of the distillation process. Knowledge of these features is fundamental for the design and synthesis of sequences of reactive distillation columns. © 1988.
