چکیده

A modification of the extended UNIQUAC model is proposed for the description of the non-ideality of protein solutions. Here, the Staverman–Guggenheim combinatorial contribution used in extended UNIQUAC model is replaced by the Flory–Huggins term to take into account the size differences between the protein and solvent. This new model allows an excellent description of the activity coefficients in protein systems, for a large range of pH and ionic strengths, with a reduced number of parameters. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Predicting Solubility of Isotactic Poly (1-Butene) in Different Organic Solvents by Modified UNIQUAC

The UNIQUAC activity coefficient model is extended to predict solid-liquid equilibrium of isotactic crystalline poly (1-butene), iPBu-1, in different organic solvents. The UNIQUAC activity coefficient model used in this work is based on the concept of group contribution and consists of combinatorial, residual and free volume terms. To account for branching of atom groups in the monomer structur...

Optimization of Extended UNIQUAC Model Parameter for Mean Activity Coefficient of Aqueous Chloride Solutions using Genetic+PSO

In the present study, in order to predict the activity coefficient of inorganic ions, 12 cases of aqueous chloride solution were considered (AClx=1,2; A=Li, Na, K, Rb, Mg, Ca, Ba, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). For this study, the UNIQUAC thermodynamic model is desired and its adjustable parameters are optimized with the Genetic + PSO algorithm. The optimization of the UNIQUAC model with PSO+ genetic algorit...

Estimation of UNIQUAC-NRF Model Parameters for NH3-CO2-H2O System

Vapor-liquid equilibrium in NH3-CO2-H2O system at high pressures has been studied. The UNIQUAC-NRF model for this system was extended by using the Goppert 4 maurer reported datas. Since the system contains molecules and ionic species the binary interaction parameters considered, where those are of molecule-molecule, molecule-ion and ion-ion types. These interaction parameters are taken as c...

Modeling electrolyte solutions with the extended universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) model*

The extended universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) model is a thermodynamic model for solutions containing electrolytes and nonelectrolytes. The model is a Gibbs excess function consisting of a Debye–Hückel term and a standard UNIQUAC term. The model only requires binary ion-specific interaction parameters. A unique choice of standard states makes the model able to reproduce solid–liquid, vapor–liq...

A new predictive UNIQUAC for modeling of wax formation in hydrocarbon fluids

10 A new UNIQUAC based predictive local composition model is here compared against predictive Wilson and predictive modified UNIQUAC on their abilities to predict wax formation. For that purpose a very large database of phase equilibrium data of both synthetic and real hydrocarbon fluids, at both low and high pressures, will be used. It is shown that the new UNIQUAC model does not suffer from t...
