Example. VLE prediction using UNIFAC activity coefficientsThe isopropyl alcohol (IPA) + water (w) system is known to form an azeotrope atatmospheric pressure and 80.37°C (xw = 0.3146) (cf.Perry’s 5ed, p13-38).Use UNIFAC to estimate the conditions of the azeotrope.Solution: We will need the following data,Compo UNIFAC Groups ANTA ANTB ANTC Tmin Tmaxwater 1-H2O 8.87829 2010.33 252.636 -26 83IPA 2-CH3; 1-CH, 1-OH 8.07131 1730.63 233.426 1 100Entering the mole fractions and 80.37°C ⇒ γw = 2.1108; γipa =1.0886 T Pipa

"Regular" SolutionsThe energetics of mixing are described by the van der Waals equation with quadratic

mixing rules, but we circumvent the iterative determination of the density by assuming amolar average for the volume of mixing.

Solubility Parameters in (cal/cc)½

To estimate the value of δi, Scatchard and Hildebrand suggested that experimental datanear typical conditions be used instead of the critical point.δi iUvap V≡ ∆ / (Note the units on the "a" parameter and the way Vi moves inside.)By scanning the tables for the values of solubility parameters, we can quickly estimatewhether the ideal solution will be accurate or not.Alkanes Olefins Napthenics Aromaticsn-pentane 7.0 1-pentene 6.9 cyclopentane 8.7 benzene 9.2n-hexane 7.3 1-hexene 7.4 cyclohexane 8.2 toluene 8.9n-heptane 7.4 1,3 butadiene 7.1 Decalin 8.8 ethylbenzene 8.8n-octane 7.6 styrene 9.3n-nonane 7.8 n-propylbenzene 8.6n-decane 7.9 anthracene 9.9

More Solubility Parameters in (cal/cc)½For oxygenated hydrocarbons and amines, the solubility parameters tend to be larger.This is largely a reflection of the higher heats of vaporization resulting from hydrogenbonding, but also from the polar moments typical of these components.Alcohols Amines Ethers Ketoneswater 23.4 ammonia 16.3 dimethyl ether 8.8 acetone 9.9methanol 14.5 methyl amine 11.2 diethyl ether 7.4 2-butanone 9.3ethanol 12.5 ethyl amine 10.0 dipropyl ether 7.8 2-pentanone 8.7n-propanol 10.5 pyridine 14.6 furan 9.4 2-heptanone 8.5n-butanol 13.6 THF 9.1n-hexanol 10.7n-dodecanol 9.9

Example. VLE Predictions using regular solution theoryBenzene and cyclohexane are to be separated by distillation at 1 bar. Use regular solutiontheory to predict whether an azeotrope should be expected forthis mixture.

If yB >xB at xB =0.01 and yB <xB atxB =0.99, then yB =xB (i.e. there is an azeotrope) somewhere in between. If y >x or y<xfor all xB, then there is no azeotrope. Given xB and P, we should perform bubble pointtemperature calculations.At xB =0.99, guess T=350K ⇒ ΦB = 0.99(89)/[0.99(89)+0.01(109)] = 0.9878PB

sat/P = 0.01(1.036)1.1330 + 0.99(0.9997)1.00 = 1.0014 ⇒yB=.0138Therefore, (yB- xB) changes sign between 0.01-0.99 ⇒ AZEOTROPE.NOTES:1. γ is a strong function of composition but weak w.r.t. Temperature.2. γi(xi→1) ≈ 1.00; γi(xi→0) = γimax

3. If Σ yi ε [0.95,1.05], then yi= xiγi Pisat/(PΣyi ) is an accurate estimate.

4. If PBsat ≈ PC

sat then a small non-ideality can cause an azeotrope.

Free volume and Flory-Huggins TheoryThe volume occupied by one molecule is not accessible to the other molecules. When wemix two components, each component’s entropy increases according to how much morespace it has: ∆Si = Ni k ln(V Vf fm i

/ )

where Vfm = the free volume of the mixture

Vfi = the free volume in the ith pure componentIt is customary to assume that the fraction of free volume in any component is the same. Vfi = Nivi vfwhere vi = volume of the ith species vf = universal fraction of free volumeThe entropy may be taken as that of a perfect gas composed of the same number ofmolecules confined to a volume equal to the free volume.∆S

Example. Polymer mixingSuppose 1g each of two different polymers (polymer A and polymer B) is heated to127°C and mixed as a liquid.

Example. Application of Wilson’s equation to VLEFor the binary system n-pentanol(1)+n-hexane(2), the Wilson equationconstants are A12 = 1718 cal/mol A21 = 166.6 cal/molAssuming the vapor phase to be an ideal gas, determine the composition of the vapor inequilibrium with a liquid containing 20 mole percent n-pentanol at 30xC.

Solution From CRC, ρ1 = 0.8144 g/ml (1mol/88g) ⇒ V1 = 108 cm3/mol

ρ2 = 0.6603 g/ml (1mol/86g) ⇒ V2 = 130 cm3/molNote: ρ1 and ρ2 are functions of T but ρ1/ρ2 ≈ const.V2/V1 = 1.205 Λij = Vj /Vi exp(-Aij/RT) Λ12 = 1.205 exp(-1718/1.987/303) = 0.070 Λ21 = 1/1.205 exp(-166.6/1.987/303) = 0.625
