Abstract
This work presents the development of a modified variant of the COSMO-SAC model, aiming to achieve reliable phase equilibrium predictions at both low and high pressures. Two major modifications of the previously published COSMO-SAC models are introduced. First, an improved combinatorial term is used to improve the results in nearly athermal and asymmetric mixtures. Second, a further separation of the hydrogen-bonding sigma profile has been introduced, differentiating the hydroxyl group belonging to water from hydroxyl groups belonging to other compounds, to improve the results in aqueous systems. The model's performance is studied for vapor-liquid equilibrium at low pressures and infinite dilution activity coefficient predictions, and it is benchmarked with respect to COSMO-SAC and COSMO-SAC 2010 models. Furthermore, the model is combined with the Peng Robinson equation of state via the Universal Mixing Rules (UMR) and applied for high pressure vapor-liquid equilibrium predictions. The results indicate that the modified COSMO-SAC model represents a reliable tool for phase-equilibria predictions for systems of various degrees of non-ideality and asymmetry.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
