A comprehensive mixed-solvent electrolyte model has been applied to calculate phase equilibria and other thermodynamic properties of multicomponent solutions containing salts, acids and bases in wide concentration ranges. The model combines an excess Gibbs energy model with detailed speciation calculations. The excess Gibbs energy model consists of a long-range interaction contribution represen...

In this study liquid phase equilibrium compositions were measured at 298.15 K under atmospheric pressure for (water + propan-1-ol + diethyl carbonate (DEC) + benzene or cyclohexane or heptane) quaternary systems and (water + DEC + propan-1-ol or benzene or cyclohexane) ternary systems. Good correlation of the experimental LLE data was seen for the measured systems by both modified and extended ...

An excess Gibbs free energy model is applied to in®estigate the influence of n-paraffin composition on the aging beha®ior of wax-oil gel deposits known to form in subsea petroleum transport pipelines. The aging of wax-oil gels occurs by a counterdiffusion process where wax molecules with carbon numbers greater than a critical carbon num( ) ber CCN diffuse into the gel matrix, and ®ice ®ersa. Mo...

Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data are critical for the design and optimization of processes extracting aromatics. Partial LLE non-aromatic–aromatic–sulfolane ternary system were acquired at 313.15 K 101.3 kPa. The extraction aromatics using sulfolane predicted COSMO-RS model. Correspondingly, experimental analyzed root mean square deviation (RMSD), distribution coefficient (D), separation fa...

Boiling points have been determined at 101.33 kPa for the binary mixtures of sulfolane + o-xylene, sulfolane + m-xylene, sulfolane+p-xylene, sulfolane+ethylbenzene and sulfolane+1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. Calculations of the non-ideality of the vapor phase were made with the second virial coefficients evaluated from the Hayden–O’Connell method. The binary parameters for five activity coefficient m...
