Thermodynamic properties for polar coal mixtures: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5150437
A research project has been conducted on the thermodynamic properties of systems containing coal model liquid compounds. Generalized relationships have been developed for the determination of the necessary characterization parameters of the pure coal compounds. Analytical procedures are described for the calculation of the phase behavior of polar systems from the characterization parameters of the components by the use of an accurate equation of state. Infinite dilution activity coefficients have been measured for nonpolar and polar solutes by gas chromatographic procedures. These data have been utilized to enable improved analytical relationships to be developed for the determination of binary interaction constants for systems containing coal model liquids of large size and small polarity such as 1-methylnaphthalene. Modified procedures are also discussed for the accurate calculation of liquid-liquid equilibria for polar systems. 43 refs., 40 figs., 15 tabs.
