Title: Reports of investigations on: Derivation of an infinite-dilution activity coefficient model and application to two-component vapor/liquid equilibria data: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7042713

Infinite-dilution fugacity coefficients were obtained for the system fluorene/phenanthrene at thirteen temperatures by fitting total pressure across the entire mole fraction range by a computer routine. A thermodynamically consistent routine, that allowed for both positive and negative pressure deviations from the ideal values, was used to correlate data over the full mole fraction range from 0 to 1. The four-suffix Margules activity coefficient model without modification essentially served this purpose since total pressures and total pressure derivatives with respect to mole fraction were negligible compared to pressure measurement precision. The water/ethanol system and binary systems comprised of aniline, chlorobenzene, acetonitrile and other polar compounds were fit for total pressure across the entire mole fraction range for binary Vapor-Liquid-Equilbria (VLE) using the rigorous, thermodynamically consistent Gibbs-Duhem Relation derived by Ibl and Dodge. Data correlation was performed using a computer least squares procedure. Infinite-dilution fugacity coefficients were obtained using a modified Margules activity coefficient model.
