ABSTRACT The UNIQUAC model is modified to include ternary parameters. Correction terms reduce to zero if a ternary system degenerates to a binary system. The proposed model greatly improves the correlation of ternary liquid-liquid equilibria for many systems. Predicted results for quatemary liquid-liquid equilibria confirm the promising ability of the proposed method.

INTRODUCTION

It is well known that commonly used local composition models for the excess Gibbs free energy can predict ternary (or multicomponent) vapour-liquid equilibria of non-electrolyte solutions from binary parameters alone; however, larger solubility envelopes than those observed experimentally are calculated in the prediction of type I ternary liquid-liquid equilibria. To obtain a satisfactory representation of such ternary liquid-liquid equilibria the binary parameters need to be adjusted using ternary tie-line data and this causes some loss of accuracy in the representation of the binary vapour-liquid equilibria [l]. Fuchs et al. [2] have proposed a method for calculating ternary vapour-liquid-liquid equilibria of acetonitrile-nheptane-benzene. Cha and Prausnitz [3] have presented a procedure which maintains thermodynamic consistency: the usual ternary expression for the excess Gibbs energy is multiplied by a composition-dependent correction factor C such that C = 1 whenever the ternary system degenerates to a binary system. This method gives a good representation of ternary vapour-liquid-liquid equilibria. Our preliminary study showed that this method is limited to ternary systems and does not work for quaternary liquid-liquid equilibrium calculations.

We propose another thermodynamic method which can be applied to systems containing more than three components. The systems are studied at low or moderate pressures. In order to evaluate binary and ternary parameters in a newly modified UNIQUAC model, the following experimental values are necessary: vapour-liquid equilibrium data for completely miscible binary systems; mutual solubility data for partially miscible systems; tie-line data for ternary systems.

SOLUTION MODEL

According to the UNIQUAC model [l] the excess molar Gibbs free energy gE is given by the sum of the combinatorial and residual terms g E=

We retain the original form for g&binatoria, and correct the original expression of gEsidualby adding ternary empirical correction terms. The correction terms reduce to zero whenever the ternary system degenerates to a binary system.

RESULTS

Correlation of ternary liquid-liquid

equilibria

Table 1 shows values of the pure component structural constants r, q and q’. The UNIQUAC binary parameters were obtained from binary experimental vapour-liquid and mutual solubility data. The fugacity coefficients for mixtures including acetic acid were calculated using a chemical theory of vapour imperfections and those for most other mixtures were obtained by the truncated volume-explicit form of the virial equation [6].

where a circumflex indicates the most probable calculated value corresponding to each measured point and the standard deviations for the measured variables were set as up = 1 Torr for pressure, ur = 0.05 K for temperature, a, = 0.001 for liquid-phase mole fraction and r+ = 0.003 for vapour-phase mole fraction. Table 2 gives the binary calculated results. The computer program used in fitting the proposed model to ternary experimental tie-lines was similar to that as described in the supplement to ref. 9. Ternary calculated results are summarized in Table 3, which contains 18 type I and 5 type II systems. In type I, one binary system is partly miscible and the other two binary systems are completely miscible; in type II, two binary systems are partially miscible and one binary system is completely miscible. Figures 1 and 2 compare calculated results with experimental values for typical systems. It can be seen that the calculated results based on binary parameters alone deviate appreciably from the experimental data in many systems. However, when ternary parameters are included in the calculations, the calculated results are much improved. Figure 3A shows calculated ternary liquid-liquid equilibria for the acetonitrile-benzene-cyclohexane system at 45 o C. We estimated ternary liquid-liquid equilibria at 25 o C using the same ternary parameters and the same binary parameters for the acetonitrile-benzene and benzene-cyclohexane systems and changed only the binary parameters for the acetonitrile-cyclohexane system. Figure 3B compares predicted results with experimental values. If the ternary liquid-liquid equilibrium prediction obtained using binary parameters only is extremely poor, the use of three ternary parameters may be insufficient for reasonable quantitative agreement with experiment. Prediction of quaternaly liquid-liquid equilibria

The binary and ternary parameters given in Tables 2 and 3 were used to predict four type I and five type II quaternary liquid-liquid equilibria. Table 4 shows the absolute arithmetic mean deviations between the experimental and calculated liquid-liquid equilibrium compositions.

terns by establishing the parameters of the ordinary UNIQUAC model [l] representing the binary and ternary systems involved in the quaternary systems. The ordinary UNIQUAC model has 12 adjustable binary interaction parameters in the correlation of quaternary data sets. Some of these parameters can be fixed in fitting the model to the binary and ternary liquid-liquid equilibrium data included in the quaternary system. For type I quaternary systems as shown in Fig. 4A, three options are available. (1) The parameters a,, and u2i from the binary system 1-2, ai4, and ui3, u3i, u23 and u32 u419 (224 and a42 from the ternary system l-2-4 from the ternary system l-2-3 are obtained independently and the two . . remammg parameters u34 and u43 are adjustable. (2) The parameters ui2 and u21 from the binary system l-2 are obtained and the other 10 parameters are fitted. (3) All 12 parameters are fitted. For type II quaternary systems as shown in Fig. 4B, four options are available. (1) The parameters ui2, uzi, u13 and uj2 from the two binary systems l-2 and 2-3, ui3 and u3i from the ternary system l-223 and ui4, u419 u24, u42, u34 and u43 from the simultaneous correlation of the ternary systems l-2-4 and 2-3-4 are obtained. There are no more adjustable parameters. This simultaneous correlation is poorer in correlating the ternary

systems because the parameters obtained for the 2-4 interaction are very different when the two ternary systems l-2-4 and 2-3-4 are correlated separately. Our new approach does not have this disadvantage. (2) The parameters ui2, aZ1, uZ3 and u3* from the binary systems l-2 and 2-3 and ui3 and usi from the ternary system l-2-3 are obtained and the other six parameters are fitted. (3) The parameters u12, uzl, al3 and us2 from the binary systems l-2 and 2-3 are obtained and the eight remaining parameters are fitted. (4) All 12 parameters are adjustable. In Table 5 the absolute arithmetic mean deviations (mol%) for the five aqueous systems obtained in this study are compared with the results of Ruiz and Gomis. The number of tie-lines used by Ruiz and Gomis in fitting the UNIQUAC binary parameters to quaternary liquid-liquid equilibria is less than the total number of quaternary tie-lines reported in their experimental data. The tie-lines used by them include selected quaternary tie-lines plus some binary and ternary tie-lines. The number of quaternary tie-lines used in both methods is not equal. Our method based on ternary information gives better results than the corresponding values of Ruiz and Gomis. Ruiz and Gomis have stated that they do not recommend the use of parameters obtained from ternary liquid-liquid equilibrium data because they lead to substantial increases in the mean deviation between experimental and calculated molar fractions due to the small physical significance of some parameters obtained in this way. Our method does not suffer from this disadvantage. Our method based on the UNIQUAC model which includes additional quaternary parameters improves the prediction of the quaternary liquid-liquid equilibria for most of the systems studied here. Further work is in progress.
