Research Abstract |
A volatility for the very small amount of toxic substance in waste water becomes a problem as air pollution in an environmental problem. The properties of vapor pressure and activity coefficient are indispensability to grasp this volatility quantitatively. Vapor pressure of pure substance as basic properties of matter is carried by chemical manuals, but a value of an activity coefficient has few data, and it is the present conditions that there is not estimation method. The accurate design of separation processes requires the knowledge of phase equilibrium behavior. Correlation and prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria(VLE) are usually performed by using activity coefficients for liquid phase. In this study, the vapor pressures of fluoroethers (HFPEE, HFPTFEE, NFBME) and the infinite dilution activity coefficients of fluoroethers(BTFEE, ETFEE, HFPME, HFPEE, HFPTFEE, NFBME) in hexadecane or water were measured at 283.15- 313.15 K using a gas stripping method. Furthermore, the infinite di

lution activity coefficients for aromatic compounds(benzene, toluene and p-xylene) in water at 283.15-323.15 K were measured using a gas stripping method. Previously the Flory-Huggins(FH) part of ASOG was examined by using the infinite dilution activity coefficient data of n-alkane binary mixtures and an empirical equation is proposed to evaluate the entropy of mixing(FH) term. The group-interaction(G) part of ASOG was improved by introducing the contact probability between groups to give a good correlation for the infinite dilution activity coefficients of binary systems. The experimental results of benzene and toluene were correlated by the modified ASOG previously proposed. In this study, the modified ASOG was applied to predict the infinite dilution activity coefficients of p-xylene in water. However, the present group-interaction parameters should be re-evaluated when many data can be available in future work. And the possibility of prediction based on the presented parameters should be re-examined Less
