ABSTRACT Mohammad Ziz-Razzaz and Mahmood Moshfeghian, 1993. Application of the CORGC equation of state with a new mixing rule to polar and nonpolar fluids. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 91: 239-263. This paper presents a new group contribution equation of state (EOS) applicable to both polar and nonpolar compounds. This EOS is based on the chain-of-rotator group contribution (CORGC) equation considering an NRTL type local composition mixing rule. The parameters for 37 organic and inorganic groups have been calculated. Several pure components and mixtures have been studied including polar and multicomponent systems. Comparison between the predicted and experimental thermodynamic properties are also presented. Keywords: theory; equation of state; group contributions;

polar; nonpolar.

INTRODUCTION

Separation units such as distillation towers or extraction cascades are of great importance in almost any chemical plant. The maximum efficiency of such units is often limited by the thermodynamic equilibrium compositions of the phases concerned. Phase equilibrium information for a variety of mixtures over wide ranges of temperature and pressure is therefore of great importance. The number of mixtures of interest to, for example, the petrochemical industry is enormous, even when the scope of components is restricted to low molecular mass (e.g. a carbon number of less than 25). Hence, it is desirable to be able to predict phase equilibria based on as little experimental information as possible or at best without any experimental data at all. The equations of state (EOSs) are the commonest tool for predicting thermodynamic properties of pure and mixed components.

Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) and PengRobinson (PR) are written for nonpolar components in the gas phase and then generalized to liquid phase and slightly polar components. Predictions of thermodynamic properties in the liquid phase can be improved by using activity coefficient equations based on the group contribution models. Some well-known equations of this kind are NRTL and UNIFAC. The new generation of EOSs has been made by combination of both group contribution and free volume models. This kind of EOS is efficient in predicting thermodynamic properties of both gases and liquids, and polar and nonpolar systems. Parameter from group contribution (PFGC), group contribution equation of state (GC-EOS) and chain-of-rotator group contribution (CORGC) are members of this generation of EOSs. CORGC is the latest group contribution EOS developed by Pults and Chao (1989). They obtained parameters for 20 nonpolar and slightly polar groups. For polar compounds, they also added a corrective term to the EOS. The results of this polar version of the equation (CORGCP) are not so good. Recently, Dehghani (1991) and Shariat et al. (1993) revised the parameters of CORGC and extended its application to polar and halogenated systems. In this work a new local composition model has been combined with CORGC. The parameters for 37 groups have been calculated and the capabilities of this equation in predicting thermodynamic properties of pure and mixed, polar and nonpolar systems have been evaluated.

To distinguish between the original CORGC EOS and the proposed one, we have called our version MCORGC. GROUP PARAMETERS

The proposed EOS contains six parameters per group bz, Tz, cm, qm, atm and T&. The optimized values of these parameters are presented in Table 1 for 37 groups. In addition, for each pair of groups three interaction parameters are needed: the attraction parameter a&, and its characteristic temperature T&,, and the nonrandom parameter CI,,. Based on the original CORGC, the group interaction parameters are assumed to be symmetrical, i.e. CI,, = anrn, a,,, = an,,, and Tz, = T,*,. The optimized values of these parameters are presented in Table 2. The normalized area parameter qm is calculated using van der Waals areas normalized by a base parameter q,,, = 10 for methane.

and

OF GROUP PARAMETERS

A computer package using a subroutine based on a nonlinear regression algorithm was developed to optimize the group parameters (Zia-Razzaz, 1993). This subroutine minimizes the error objective function by using the method of Marquardt (1963). In order to optimize pure group parameters, a vast pure component VLE data bank has been used. The predicted and experimental data for each set of parameters are then compared, and the summation of the error weighted squares minimized. The following objective function is used for pure component VLE data:

(22) where Wi are the weighting factors for the relative errors of vapor pressure, vapor volume, liquid volume and latent heat of vaporization, respectively. In the above equation, Psat, V”, V’ and Hvap represent vapor pressure, vapor volume, liquid volume and heat of vaporization, respectively. The subscripts E and C stand for experimental and calculated values, respectively. Most group interaction parameters have been calculated using binary mixture VLE data. For these systems, errors in predicting vaporization

The

(23) where Ki and K2 are the VLE ratios (K values) for components 1 and 2, W, and W, are weighting factors, and the subscripts E and C represent experimental and calculated quantities, respectively. In this case all predicted properties have been calculated at constant temperature and pressure. This method is more efficient than the classical equilibrium calculation method, which requires about ten equilibrium calculations for each point and consuming about ten times as much computer time. However, for the final results and comparisons, the properties are calculated at the equilibrium condition using flash calculations at constant temperature and pressure. RESULTS

The capabilities of the proposed EOS to predict VLE properties of pure and mixture systems were examined. About 70 pure compounds and 30 binary systems were studied. The calculated properties are usually as accurate as experimental values and the order of errors (especially for pure compounds) is very low. The proposed equation proves to be a useful tool for the prediction of a number of pure fluid thermodynamic properties. Saturated thermodynamic properties of a vast set of substances were studied. The summary results for 21 pure compounds are given in Table 3, and for a few compounds the results are shown graphically in Figs. l-6. These are typical of the results obtained in this study. Vapor pressure is the most important pure VLE property to be predicted by an EOS, since a good representation of vapor pressure will give good results in the mixture VLE calculations. The results of vapor pressure prediction for several components are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The total average absolute error for 70 compounds studied by Zia-Razzaz ( 1992) is 1.47%, and for most compounds this value is less than unity. The ability of an EOS to predict liquid densities is a measurement of its accuracy. The results of saturated liquid densities calculated for a number of compounds are shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The average absolute error of V’ prediction is 0.98% for 42 studied substances (Zia-Razzaz, 1992). At this moment, no EOS is known with the same capability of predicting liquid densities.

Saturated vapor volume is another VLE property that can be calculated by an EOS. The average absolute error of V” prediction for 40 studied compounds is 1.28% ( Zia-Razzaz, 1992). The latent heat of vaporization of a pure compound can be calculated by subtracting coexistence vapor and liquid residual enthalpies. The latent

for methanol and water, respectively, an excellent result for an EOS. Figure 8 shows the binary mixture of ethyl benzene and n-heptane at 327.76 K. The AAD%s of K value prediction of this system are 4.97 and 4.68, respectively. The parameters used for this system are calculated from pure component VLE data. Good representation of this nonideal aromatic + paraffin system shows further capability of the proposed EOS. For most EOSs, accurate representation of binary systems is an indication of good prediction of multicomponent mixtures. In order to evaluate this capability of the proposed equation, a multicomponent mixture was studied, containing N *, CO2 and six paraffins. The predicted and experimental K values are compared in Fig. 9, which shows a fairly good ability of this EOS to predict complicated multicomponent systems.

WITH OTHER EOSs

The saturation state properties of a number of compounds have been calculated using SRK, PR, PFGC and the MCORGC. The comparison results in terms of average absolute deviation are shown in Table 5. As can be seen, almost all predictions of the proposed CORGC are much more accurate than those of the other equations.

PROPERTIES

In order to demonstrate the ability of the proposed EOS to predict single phase properties of compounds, superheated and sub-cooled ethane has been studied. The enthalpy and volume at three temperatures (300, 400 and 500 K) have been calculated. Figure 10 shows the pressure-enthalpy diagram for ethane. As can be seen, deviations in the saturated states and 300 K isotherm are in the range of experimental data accuracy. At higher

temperatures there are some minute differences between predicted and experimental enthalpies. The calculated deviation is almost constant for each isotherm and does not change significantly with increasing pressure. So, it seems that the observed deviations might be due to the poor accuracy of the ideal gas state enthalpy prediction at these temperatures, not the residual part as calculated by MCORGC.

Figure 11 shows the pressure-volume behavior of ethane at three temperatures (300, 400 and 500 K) as well as the saturation states. With the exception of sub-cooled region and critical point, there is no significant deviation between calculated and experimental volumes. Normal boiling point is another thermodynamic property that can be predicted by an EOS. The normal boiling points of almost all substances can be found in the literature, while complete VLE data for many compounds are not available. So, comparing predicted and experimental boiling

points of pure compounds can be a good measure of the accuracy of an EOS. There are some compounds which are not used in the parameter optimization such as the paraffins n-C, rHZ4 to n-C20H42. The error in normal boiling point prediction of these compounds is less than 0.8 K and almost the same as for their lighter homologs (Zia-Razzaz, 1992). This proves the accuracy of this EOS modeling and shows that the optimized parameters can be used for compounds not included in the optimization data base.

CONCLUSIONS

A new group contribution EOS, MCORGC, based on the CORGC and an NRTL type local composition mixing rule applicable to both polar and nonpolar systems has been presented. Its parameters for 37 groups have been determined and reported. Its ability to predict the thermodynamics properties of pure and multicomponent systems has been tested against reported experimental data and very good agreements have been obtained. In addition, its ability and accuracy have been compared with other widely used EOSs and superior results have been obtained.
