Abstract: | The UNIFAC group contribution model has been widely used in the prediction of phase equilibria of various fluid mixtures. We have applied the method to predict the solubility of various long-chain hydrocarbon solids in a number of solvents of industrial importance. The calculated solubilities are compared with measured values and also with the predictions of the regular solution theory of Hildebrand and Scatchard. Some disagreements were found between the measured solubilities and the predicted values of both theories. Overall the UNIFAC scheme appears to be superior to the regular solution theory.Paper presented at the Ninth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 24–27, 1985, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A. |
