Generalized transport equations for the description of diffusion-reaction processes in chemically active mixtures are obtained. The nonequilibrium statistical operator method of Zubarev is used and both strong and weak nonequilibrium processes are analyzed. The obtained results generalize the chemical kinetic theory of Keiser.
