of excess enthalpy and models. Fluid Phase

Using data for excess Gibbs energy, g”, and enthalpy of mixing, hE, temperature-dependent parameters of the NRTL and UNIQUAC models have been estimated for 44 systems of binary mixtures. Thirty-three of them include data for gE and hE at more than one different isotherm. The estimated parameters were later tested by predicting the total pressure, vapor-phase compositions and gE and hE data simultaneously and representing the effect of temperature on such data. System-dependency of the models, non-uniqueness in the parameters and the possibility of predicting partial miscibility for completely miscible non-ideal mixtures have been investigated.

INTRODUCTION

The NRTL (Renon and Prausnitz, 1968) and UNIQUAC (Abrams and Prausnitz, 1975) models have found extensive use in the correlation and prediction of fluid phase equilibria and chemical process calculations, such as distillation. They can predict the partial miscibility and are easily extendable to multicomponent mixtures using the parameters obtained from binary data alone. In a recent study, Cairns and Furzer (1988) pointed out that the limitations of these models must be considered in the design and retrofit of distillation columns, although there would appear to be a major difficulty in selecting the best model, since the choice may be system-dependent. This aspect needs to be investigated further in order to gain a critical and lasting evaluation on the behavior of the models. 037%3812/91/$03.50

Renon and Prausnitz (1969) provided charts for estimating the binary adjustable energy parameters of the NRTL model from limiting activity coefficient data and from mutual solubilities. They suggested that, depending on the chemical nature of a mixture, a value of aij must be chosen. But as Tassios (1976) points out, the selection of proper values of clljj is ambiguous and difficult to apply, and the NRTL model performs best when the value of ‘Y;~is obtained by regression of the available experimental data. Flemr (1976) and McDermott and Ashton (1977) pointed out the theoretical inconsistency of the NRTL and UNIQUAC models and concluded that they should be treated only as empirical. Later Panayiotou and Vera (1981) and Iwai and Arai (1982) have discussed the statistical thermodynamic derivation of the UNIQUAC model. Tassios (1979) showed that multiple roots are possible for positive deviations from Raoult’s law for the NRTL model. However, he concluded that when (Y~,is allowed to vary, the multiplicity does not seem to represent a problem. Hanks et al. (1978) have performed a parametric analysis of the NRTL model to determine appropriate limits to its ability to represent gE and hE data simultaneously. This analysis showed that the NRTL model is not capable of correlating both gE and hE data for any system in which the value of hE exceeds a certain limit, A similar study performed by Demirel and Gecegiirmez (1989) indicates that the UNIQUAC model has a similar property. This limitation can be overcome by treating the parameters of the models as functions of temperature and using experimental heats of mixing along with vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data (Murthy and Zudkevitch, 1979; Demirel and Gecegbrmez, 1989). The NRTL and UNIQUAC models have a moderate built-in temperature dependence. However, Murthy and Zudkevitch (1979) suggest that relying on the NRTL model for representing the effect of temperature on the activity coefficients can be unreliable. Both of the models perform better when the parameters vary with temperature as suggested in the literature (Anderson and Prausnitz, 1978; Demirel and McDermott, 1984). Pablo and Prausnitz (1988) suggest that for the NRTL model a strong temperature dependence is required to describe the coexistence curve in the critical region. In this study, temperature-dependent parameters for the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were estimated using gE and hE data simultaneously, and the accuracy in predicting gE, VLE and hE data by the equations has been investigated for various types of mixture including alcohols, carboxylic acids, water and esters.

113 HEAT OF MIXING

The rate of change of excess Gibbs energy, and hence the activity coefficients, y,, with respect to temperature is proportional to the excess enthalpy and is given by the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation

Nagata and Yamada (1973) and Nagata et al. (1973) have shown that the NRTL model whose parameters are assumed to be expressed by a linear function of temperature is capable of representing both VLE and hE data with a single set of parameters. Renon and Prausnitz (1968) also assume that the NRTL parameters change with temperature in a linear way. g,, - g,, = ci + c2( T - 273.15)

Abrams and Prausnitz (1975) state that when both VLE and liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data are used to obtain the UNIQUAC parameters, they appear to be a smooth function of temperature. However, this is not the case for mixtures containing hydrogen bonding, such as water and alcohols (Anderson and Prausnitz, 1978; Murthy and Zudkevitch, 1979). In the present study, the effect of temperature on the characteristic energies is expressed as azl = d, + d/T

These are the expressions also used by Anderson and Prausnitz (1978). With the UNIQUAC parameters given in eqns. (6) and (7), the enthalpy of mixing becomes

where 72; = exp( -%1/T) G = exp( - +/T) 8j = Xjqi/Cxiqi The UNIQUAC model contains pure-component structural parameters r and q. Anderson and Prausnitz (1978) modified the UNIQUAC equation slightly and introduced new values of surface parameters, q’, for alcohols and water to be used in the residual part of the equation.

ESTIMATION

OF PARAMETERS

In estimating the temperature-dependent parameters, data for gE and hE were used simultaneously. The following objective function, which was also used by Nagata and Yamada (1973), was minimized:

where n and m are, respectively, the number of experimental gE and hE data points at a specified isothermal temperature. N is the number of isothermal system temperatures for the gE data and M is that for the hE data. For minimizing the function F, a package program called MINUIT (James, 1978) was used. The MINUIT program performs minimization and analysis of the shape of a multiparameter function, and incorporates the Fletcher and Simplex techniques. Nagata and Yamada (1973) suggest that the Simplex method is one of the most effective parameter seeking methods. Each technique may be used alone or in combination with the others, according to the behaviour of the function and the requirements of the user. Some global logic is built into the program so that, if one of the techniques fails another technique is automatically called to make another attempt.

115

An analytical method due to Tassios (1976) is used to determine the ability of the estimated parameters to predict the phase splitting. This consists of the following steps: (1) Regress the gE and hE data to obtain the temperature-dependent parameters of the models. (2) Introduce these values into the following expression for G”:

T.P

(3) Determine the value of xi = x0 for which G” value, by solving the following equation:

assumes

its minimum /

1,,

0 (11) = T,P (4) Insert the value of x1 into eqn. (10) and determine the value of G”. If G” > 0, no partial miscibility will be predicted for the estimated values of the parameters. If G” < 0, partial miscibility will be predicted. G

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Using data for gE and hE, temperature-dependent parameters of the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were estimated for 44 binary systems. These mixtures include hydrocarbon, ester, alcohol, ketone, carboxylic acid and aqueous components in various combinations. Only the values of the parameters c5 and cs, in the NRTL model, are forced to change between 0.1 and 0.7, and - 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. The estimated parameters for the NRTL and UNIQUAC models and variances of the fit, u, are given in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The variance of the fit is obtained from u= (ffni’

Here CNni and C”mi are the total number of data points for gE and hE, respectively, while NP is the number of parameters. The value of (I provides a measure of how well gE and hE data are represented simultaneously by the NRTL and UNIQUAC models. Temperature-dependent UNIQUAC parameters for the first 24 systems were given elsewhere (Demirel and Gecegormez, 1989).

The NRTL model gives multiple roots for the systems 1, 2, 11, 12 and 19, as may be seen from Table 1. The NRTL parameters for the systems n-pentanol-2-methyl pentane and ethanol-cyclohexane predict partial miscibility, which is not, however, predicted by the UNIQUAC model. Also, although the system water-butyl glycol shows phase splitting, the NRTL parameters predict complete miscibility, whereas the UNIQUAC model predicts partial miscibility. Multiple roots also result when the UNIQUAC model is used. The parameters that yield the best variation of the fit have been tabulated. For the system acetonitrile-n-heptane, which shows phase splitting, the parameters of both equations predict partial miscibility. Tassios (1976) claims that by changing the initial values of parameters it may be possible to obtain the correct values for some systems, as is seen for the system n-pentanol-3-methylpentane, which is a highly non-ideal mixture. Simultaneous predictions of vapor-phase composition, P, gE and hE, by the models are shown in Table 3. The volume and surface area parameters of the UNIQUAC model are given in Table 4. The average absolute error, S, for gE, P and hE were calculated using

The root mean square deviation (RMSD) in predicting compositions was calculated from the following equation

the vapor

phase

The values of S( gE), S(P) and RMSD were calculated at each isotherm for gE. Pure-component vapor pressures were obtained from the Antoine equation and the necessary parameters were taken from Reid et al. (1977). The value of S( hE) was calculated at each isotherm for the hE data. The results indicate the sensitivity of the NRTL and UNIQUAC equations in representing gE, VLE and hE data simultaneously at various isotherms, and also show that the models are system-dependent. For a total of 947 data points for gE, the average absolute errors for gE and p calculations from the NRTL model are 7.4% and 3.3%, respectively, while the corresponding values from the UNIQUAC model are 7.2% and 2.9%. The values of RMSD for the NRTL and UNIQUAC models are 1.9% and 1.6%, respectively. For

(2)-(4), (6) and (7) are capable of expressing the temperature dependency of the models for various types of mixture, including ones with hydrogen bonding.

where uii represents the elements of the error matrix. If v is positive definite, p < 1 for all elements. If p = 0, then the parameters are uncorrelated and if p = 1, the par ameters are completely correlated. For a given parameter, the global correlation coefficient is given by

and is the correlation between it and that linear combination of the other parameters most highly correlated with it. All such coefficients should be between zero and one for a positive definite error matrix. The values of error matrix correlations and the global correlation coefficients for some of the systems are given in Tables 5 and 6, respectively. The parameters for some of the systems are highly correlated, but for such parameters it is not possible to specify unique values from a given set of data. Such problems have arisen when the same free energy function is used for two of the phases, as in LLE, at points where the mole fractions in two phases are identical.

CONCLUSIONS

Although the simultaneous fit of Gibbs energy and enthalpy of mixing data for 44 binary systems is satisfactory with the NRTL and UNIQUAC models, choice of the best model is mainly system-dependent. The use of temperature-dependent parameters improves the performance of the models, but care should be exercised in the selection of the best model for a given system, and in the estimation of the parameters for especially non-ideal mixtures.
