Olga Mityanina is Assistant within Mathematical Modeling of Chemical Engineering Processes at the Institute of Natural Resources, Tomsk Polytechnic University.

My scientific interests involve problems of steady states multiplicity observed in complex reactive or reactive distillation (RD) systems. Reactive distillation is considered as a promising and economically sound way of the process realization in comparison with the conventional schemes, where separation unit follows reactive apparatus. But at the same time many researches point on difficulties in design and control of such processes because of “input-output” multiplicities. This fact restricts an application area of reactive distillation in chemical technology.
The solution to the problem, in my opinion, lies in precise investigation of the process by means of mathematical models based on physical and chemical fundamentals.
