Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) for multicomponent organic solvents in the workplaces is estimated by introducing the activity coefficients, which are calculated with the UNIFAC (Universal Quasichemical Functional Group Activity Coefficient) model by using CHEMCAD and macro in EXCEL. First, the VLE (1176 systems) for 47 organic solvents in Ordinance on Prevention of Organic Solvent Poisoning and in Ordinance on Prevention of Hazards due to Specified Chemical Substances (Industrial Safety and Health Law, in Japan) were organized. The results of this study suggest that about 50% of the VLE of two-component systems used in the workplaces nationwide in Japan can be estimated, and the method in this work would be expected to perform risk assessment of organic solvent.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
リスクアセスメントが義務化された有機溶剤を対象にUNIFACモデルの適用の可能性を検討した。その際、CHEMCADとエクセルのマクロを利用し、多数の混合有機溶剤の気液平衡関係を迅速に計算可能なプログラムを開発した。本研究で開発した計算システムを用いれば、混合有機溶剤の気液平衡関係の非理想性を迅速に計算でき、容易に視覚化できることが確認された。また、今後新たな化学物質が追加された場合、その化学物質との非理想性を迅速に計算可能であることが示唆された。
