Phase compositions of VLLE in the systems glucose + acetone + water + carbon dioxide and carbohydrates + 2-propanol + water + carbon dioxide have been determined experimentally. Like for VLE of related systems from literature, the carbohydrate solubility in a phase rises when the phase becomes more similar to the water-rich lower liquid phase. At the same time separation of different carbohydrates becomes more difficult because selectivity decreases. Theoretically based models can help to find an optimum of capacity and selectivity and to minimize the number of necessary experiments. A simple model based on the Soave-Redlich-Kwong EOS which can reproduce glucose partitioning between the two liquid phases in VLLE in the glucose + acetone + water + carbon dioxide system is presented. 2-Propanol is shown to be a better modifier for these systems than acetone, but denaturation of carbohydrates in the carbohydrate + 2-propanol + water + carbon dioxide system limits industrial applications. 

The fugacity coefficient can be calculated using a suitable EOS. The Soave—Redlich—Kwong EOS (SRK EOS) will be employed in this paper. Starting from the SRK EOS...

Much later Soave (1972) proposed a new modification, known as Soave-Redlich-Kwong EOS, abbreviated here SRK-EOS, in which the model incorporates another important molecular parameter, the acentric factor co(see later the equation 5.12). The result was that the accuracy of VLE computations improved considerably. In the case of SRK-EOS the alpha function is ... 

Develop the Soave-Redlich-Kwong EoS starting with Eq. 17.9.1. (For guidance, see Vera and Prausnitz.). 

DMN. The binary solubilities allowed us to calculate 22 and using a procedure based on an equation of state (EOS) [14,28]. The Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) [29] EOS was selected, and the k a were calculated as in our previous paper [28]. The results of the calculations are listed in Table 1. 

The multi-parameter EOS [17,18] allows one to accurately calculate the densities (VP) at any pressure and temperature. The parameters k22 and k can be calculated [9,19] using any traditional EOS, such as the Soave-Redlich-Kwong [20] or the Peng-Robinson [21] EOS. 

The densities of CO2 and ethane were calculated using multi-parameter EOS [17,18], which are accurate near the critical point. The parameters 22 and 33 were obtained from solubility data in binary mixtures (solid/SC fluid and solid/SC entrainer). The Soave-Redlich-Kwong [20] EOS was employed in combination with the classical van der Waals mixing rules as in our previous paper [5]. 

The composition dependence of the parameter Z i3 was calculated for the mixture SC CO2 and SC ethane at T = 350 K and P = 10 MPa. For this purpose, precise PVT data [30] were treated using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong [20] EOS and the classical van der Waals mixing rules. The binary interaction parameter qi2 was calculated by minimizing the sum yi.caic 2 where... 

A broad range of cubic equation of state models (EOS) are successfully used today. The EOS range from the standard Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, which is widely used in the hydrocarbon processing and related industries (oil gas and petrochemicals), to a new class of models that extend the range of applications to chemicals. " New models are continually being developed and are too numerous to cite. 

Cubic equations of state (EOS) such as the Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng>Robinson equations of state have become important tools in the area of phase equilibrium modeling, especially for systems at pressures close to or above the critical pressure of one or more of these system components. The functional form of the Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson equations of state can be represented in a general manner as shown in Equation 2 ... 

As discussed in the thermodynamics chapter (Chapter 4), an equation of state (EOS) can be used to calculate the fugacities of all components in a mixture. This approach hnds widespread use in the chemical and petroleum rehning industries cubic equations of state are used most often, particularly the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) and Peng-Robinson (PR) equations. 

The most commonly used cubic EOSs are the Peng-Robinson (Peng and Robinson, 1976) and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (Soave, 1972) equations. They produce essentially equivalent results since both equations are cubic in volume. We will use the Peng-Robinson (PR) EOS since we have the most experience with this equation. The PR equation is... 

The most widely used generalized cubic EOS, Soave-Redlich-Kwong [43] and Peng and Robinson [44], yield remarkably good results for nonpolar substances at elevated pressures. Nevertheless, they still show weaknesses that restrict their applicability to certain areas ... 

All cubic EOS discussed perform poorly concerning the liquid density, where the parameter a or, respectively, the a-function have a negligible influence. Figure 2.17 illustrates the deviations of the liquid molar volume at Tr = 0.7 for the Soave-Redlich-Kwong and the Peng-Robinson equation of state. The 40 substances regarded are characterized by their critical compressibility... 

First we demonstrate the accuracy of the Soave-Redlich-Kwong [4] equation of state (SRK EOS) in ProMax [5] software. The TEG dehydration contactor will be simulated by ProMax based on the SRK EOS. Finally, for ease of use the generated results are presented graphically. 

EOS is normally either the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) or the Peng-Robinson (PR). Both are cubic EOSs and hence derivations of the van der Waals EOS, and like most equations of state, they use three pure component parameters per substance and one BIP per binary pair. There are other more complex EOSs (see Table 8.4). EOS models are appropriate for modeling ideal and real gases (even in the supercritical region), hydrocarbon mixtures, and light-gas mixtures. However, they are less reliable when the sizes of the mixture components are significantly different or when the mixture comprises nonideal liquids, especially polar mixtures. 

A modified- Soave-Redlich-Kwong (MSRK) EOS with an exponent-type mixing rule (Higashi et al, 1994) for the energy parameter and a conventional mixing rule for the size parameter is applied to correlate the phase equilibria for four binary mixtures of water -i- hydrocarbon (benzene, n-hexane, n-decane, and dodecane) systems at high temperatures and pressures by Haruki et al. (1999, 2000). The MSRK EOS is given as follows (Sandarusi et al., 1986) ...

Cubic Equations of State (EoS) are progressively becoming the main tool for phase equilibria calculations and, even though they are - so far -successful for nonpolar/weakly polar systems only, it will not be long before they can handle polar systems as well. The Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK, Soave, 1972) and the PR (Peng and Robinson, 1976) EoS - modifications of the first EoS proposed, that of van der Waals (vdW) - are the most commonly used among them. 

For systems containing CO2, H2S, N2, and CO with hydrocarbons, ky values for the Soave-Redlich-Kwong(SRK) EoS are given by Graboski and Daubert (1978). 

Consider first a two-parameter cubic EoS, say the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK, Soave, 1972). Eq. 11.9.6 gives the expression for the fugacity coefficient of component i in a mixture of given composition at some temperature T and pressure P with this EoS, and requires values for all ... 

Gasem and Robinson (1989) report that the SPHCT gives poor vapor pressures for hydrocarbons below 5 mm Hg where, as we have seen in Section 10.6, the simpler EoS PR, SRK, t-vdW, and t-PR, give good to excellent results. (This could probably be due to the method of parameter evaluation used, rather than the EoS itself.) They also report that in the correlation of ethane/n-alkane vapor-liquid equilibrium data, the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) and SPHCT EoS give similar results up to...
