Infinite dilute activity coefficients

GAMMA calculates activity coefficients for N components (N 20) at system temperature. For noncondensable components effective infinite-dilution activity coefficients are calculated. 

Activity coefficients for condensable components are calculated with the UNIQUAC Equation (4-15)/ and infinite-dilution activity coefficients for noncondensable components are calculated with Equation (4-22). ... 

If the mutual solubilities of the solvents A and B are small, and the systems are dilute in C, the ratio ni can be estimated from the activity coefficients at infinite dilution. The infinite dilution activity coefficients of many organic systems have been correlated in terms of stmctural contributions (24), a method recommended by others (5). In the more general case of nondilute systems where there is significant mutual solubiUty between the two solvents, regular solution theory must be appHed. Several methods of correlation and prediction have been reviewed (23). The universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) equation has been recommended (25), which uses binary parameters to predict multicomponent equihbria (see Eengineering, chemical DATA correlation). 

Eor given biaary pair, two-phase behavior likely when infinite dilution activity coefficient of either component ia other component is >7.5. 

Fiend s Constant. Henry s law for dilute concentrations of contaminants ia water is often appropriate for modeling vapor—Hquid equiHbrium (VLE) behavior (47). At very low concentrations, a chemical s Henry s constant is equal to the product of its activity coefficient and vapor pressure (3,10,48). Activity coefficient models can provide estimated values of infinite dilution activity coefficients for calculating Henry s constants as a function of temperature (35—39,49). 

For low miscibility, the solubiHty of a substance in water is often estimated as the inverse of the chemical s infinite dilution activity coefficient ... 

Once the composition of each equiHbrium phase is known, infinite dilution activity coefficients for a third component ia each phase can then be calculated. The octanol—water partition coefficient is directly proportional to the ratio of the infinite dilution activity coefficients for a third component distributed between the water-rich and octanol-rich phases (5,24). The primary drawback to the activity coefficient approach to estimation is the difficulty of the calculations involved, particularly when the activity coefficient model is complex.

Another method to determine infinite dilution activity coefficients (or the equivalent FFenry s law coefficients) is gas chromatography [FF, F2]. In this method, the chromatographic column is coated with the liquid solvent (e.g., the IL). The solute (the gas) is introduced with a carrier gas and the retention time of the solute is a measure of the strength of interaction (i.e., the infinite dilution activity coefficient, y7) of the solute in the liquid. For the steady-state method, given by [FF, F2] ...

This sub-problem considers the mixture properties. Mixture properties can be categorized into two types. Properties such as selectivity, solvent power etc., are based on infinite dilution activity coefficients, which are independent of composition and hence only structural information is needed for their calculation. Properties such as complete or partial miscibility of solvent with another constituent is handled by discritizing the composition range from 0 to 1 into n divisions and verifying the miscibility criterion at those points. The difference between pure component property constraints and mixture property constraints is that the former are linear and the latter are non-linear. Those satisfying the mixture property constraints are further analyzed in sub-problem 4. 

The local compostion model is developed as a symmetric model, based on pure solvent and hypothetical pure completely-dissociated liquid electrolyte. This model is then normalized by infinite dilution activity coefficients in order to obtain an unsymmetric local composition model. Finally the unsymmetric Debye-Huckel and local composition expressions are added to yield the excess Gibbs energy expression proposed in this study.

A procedure is presented for correlating the effect of non-volatile salts on the vapor-liquid equilibrium properties of binary solvents. The procedure is based on estimating the influence of salt concentration on the infinite dilution activity coefficients of both components in a pseudo-binary solution. The procedure is tested on experimental data for five different salts in methanol-water solutions. With this technique and Wilson parameters determined from the infinite dilution activity coefficients, precise estimates of bubble point temperatures and vapor phase compositions may be obtained over a range of salt and solvent compositions. 

Shreiber and Eckert (6) developed the concept of estimating Wilson parameters for binary systems by examination of infinite dilution activity coefficients. Their technique was adapted to the pseudobinary salt-solvent system and used to determine the effect of salt on activity coefficients and the corresponding Wilson parameters. This was done as outlined in the following paragraphs. 

Using the virial equation to estimate the slight deviations from ideality exhibited by the vapor, activity coefficients were calculated from Equation 2. Infinite dilution activity coefficients for component 2 were estimated from Equation 16 infinite dilution activity coefficients for component 1 were determined graphically by extrapolating the values calculated from Equation 2...
