Abstract

Advanced Equations of State for electrolyte solutions (e-EoS) consist of many contributions stemming from different intermolecular forces, e.g. repulsion, dispersion, hydrogen bonding, as well as ionic interactions between ions, ion solvation and possibly others. It is difficult to establish a priori which is the correct balance of the various contributions, and different parameter estimation strategies may result in similar performance of models having entirely different trends with respect to the contribution of the various terms. The first part of this work is a literature review on the balance of forces exhibited by existing electrolyte models, both activity coefficient models and e-EoS. In the second part of this work, the activity coefficients and the contributions of the various terms calculated by molecular simulation (MS) based on the recent studies by Saravi and Panagiotopoulos are analyzed and compared to their e-EoS counterparts at 25 °C and 1 bar. We have considered three e-EoS from literature, namely the eSAFT-VR Mie, ePPC-SAFT and e-CPA. MS studies have been presented in literature both using the so-called implicit and explicit simulations, but only the latter are considered here where water is treated as a molecule, as these are in closer agreement to experimental data. Although correspondence between MS contributions and e-EoS terms is not fully established, some conclusions related to the performance of e-EoS are obtained.

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.
