Abstract:

In this work, an electrolyte-UNIQUAC model was developed by replacement of Boltzmann weight binary interaction parameters by the nonextensive Tsallis weight. A summation of the long-range electrostatic term (Debye-Huckel equation) and a short-range interaction term were considered in the calculation of thermodynamic properties. A framework proposed by Chen and co-workers was employed for the derivation of the local mole fractions. Application of the nonextensive theory increased the degree of freedom of the present model (T-E-UNIQUAC). Furthermore, the strength of the model lies in its ability to calculate individual activity coefficients of ions. The applicability of the T-E-UNIQUAC model has been tested using aqueous electrolyte solutions and results have been compared with Messnaoui, Chen and Pitzer models.

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...

Prediction of Hydrate Formation for the Systems Containing Single and Mixed Electrolyte Solutions

In this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. To do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. The new model is based on the van der Waals - Platteeuw hydrate equation of state. In order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions t...
