Electrolyte thermodynamics is a complex and broad subject of immense importance in very diverse applications. The models proposed for electrolyte solutions have some similarities to those non-electrolytes but also significant differences. Not just due additional contributions because the way are developed electrolytes vs. non-electrolytes. Moreover, there still fundamental issues unresolved the...

A method based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) was developed to study the phase behavior of multicomponent and multiphase systems. Upon application of the GA to the thermodynamic models which are commonly used to study the VLE, VLLE and LLE phase equilibria, the physically meaningful values for the Binary Interaction Parameters (BIP) of the models were obtained. Using the method proposed in this ...

The thermodynamics of electrolyte solutions has been investigated by many scientists throughout the last century. While several theories have been presented, the most popular models for the electrostatic interactions are based on the Debye− Hückel and mean spherical approximation (MSA) theories. In this paper we investigate the differences between the Debye− Hückel and the MSA theories, and com...

The extension of the translated–consistent Peng–Robinson (tc-PR) equation state (EoS) to mixtures has been investigated. For this purpose, advanced EoS/aresE,γ mixing rules are used combine tc-PR EoS with residual part an activity coefficient model chosen among Wilson, nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), and universal quasi-chemical (UNIQUAC) models. performances three resulting versions compared agai...

Background 2,3-Butanediol (2,3-BDO) is a synthetic chemical compound that also can be produced by biomass fermentation, which is gaining share in the global market as an intermediate product for numerous applications, i.e. as liquid fuel or fuel additive. Several metabolic engineering fermentation strategies to enhance the production of 2,3-BDO were developed. However, the recovery of 2,3-BDO f...

This study concerns a new antiretroviral drug named CRS 74, which has a limited bioavailability because of its low aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. To improve these properties, CRS 74 can be recrystallized by using Liquid Anti-Solvent (LAS) crystallization. Ethanol is chosen as the solvent under study for the molecule and water as the anti-solvent. Since solubility data is limited, it i...
