Ionic liquids (ILs) have been suggested as potential "green" solvents to replace volatile organic solvents in reaction and separation processes due to their negligible vapor pressure. To develop ILs for these applications, it is important to gain a fundamental understanding of the factors that control the phase behavior of ionic liquids with other liquids. In this work, we continue our study of...

The adequate correlation of experimental phase equilibrium data by using any thermodynamic model represents a key point for the rigorous design chemical processes. However, this process remains challenging problem, due to high nonlinearity models used and consequent problems convergence. present work analyzes nonrandom two-liquids mode (NRTL) check relation between values binary interaction par...

Several approaches have been proposed for the computation of solutions to the phase and chemical equilibrium problem when the problem is posed as the minimization of the Gibbs free energy function. None of them can guarantee convergence to the true optimal solution, and are highly dependent on the supplied initial point. Convergence to local solutions often occurs, yielding incorrect phase and ...

In this study, NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were used to predict the composition of ternary mixtures of solvents+ m/o/p-cresol+ water in organic and aqueous phases. Various solvents are used for the separation of cresols from water. In this study, methyl propyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, methyl butyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone solvents were investigated. Intermolecular in...

In this work we use adjusted parameters obtained with Simulated Annealing and those from Dechema Collection [1] for the NRTL model, in order to analyze their effect in the design, optimization, and control of homogeneous azeotropic distillation columns. For the design of the azeotropic sequences we use short design methodologies [2, 3], while a multiobjective genetic algorithm with constraints ...

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for 2-propanol + 1-butanol, 2-propanol + 1-pentanol, 1butanol + 1-pentanol and 2-propanol + 1-butanol + 1-pentanol were measured at 101.3 kPa by using an improved Rose still. All the binary VLE data have passed the traditional area test proposed by Herington. The interaction parameters for the Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations were determined by reg...

The stepwise solvation-equilibrium model of Stokes and Robinson isused for a description of departures from ideality in ionic solutions. It is shown howto construct a thermodynamically consistent model including solvation effects. Sim-ple expressions are derived for the mean ion solvation number. The model is appliedto strong electrolyte solutions (pure water+salt and mixed aque...

Abstract The stability of amino acids in solutions containing electrolytes and the effect ambient pH on their biological activity is an important research area. In this work, volumetric transport properties ionic liquid (IL) aqueous solution with special performance 1-(2-carboxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HOOCEMIM][Cl]) were studied. selected IL acts as electrolyte allows study system...
