TLDR
The design and operation issues for reactive distillation systems are considerably more complex than those involved for either conventional reactors or conventional distillation columns as discussed by the authors, and the introduction of an in situ separation function within the reaction zone leads to complex interactions between vapor-liquid equilibrium, vapor−liquid mass transfer, intra-catalyst diffusion, and chemical kinetics.About:

Extractive Distillation: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, an in-depth review of extractive distillation is presented, where a new solvent with high boiling point, i.e. separating agent, is added to the components to be separated, so as to increase their relative volatility.

Multicomponent mass transfer
Ross Taylor,Rajamani Krishna +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an important book on multicomponent mass transfer, meant for readers already acquainted with the theory of mass transfer and the fundamentals of transport phenomena, and provide a computer diskette with the book; the examples in Chapters 1--13 are solvable using this diskette and the commercial package Mathcad which the user must obtain.

The Maxwell-Stefan approach to mass transfer
Rajamani Krishna,J.A. Wesselingh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the limitations of the Fick's law for describing diffusion are discussed and it is argued that the Maxwell-Stefan formulation provides the most general and convenient approach for describing mass transport which takes proper account of thermodynamic non-idealities and influence of external force fields.
