INTRODUCTION

The use of analytical expressions which relate actimty coefficient, composltlon and temperature 1s of particular importance m the design and operation of dlstdlatlon equipment

Since the existing molecular theones are not always efficient to solve the problems of Interest, considerable effort has been lately expended m developing new concepts concerning the reduction of experimental vapour-liquid equlhbnum data, in order to obtain reliable expressions which relate activity coefficient and liquid composition[l-41 Performances of these expressions depend on the choice of the data reduction procedure, and on the spectic thermodynamic model for activity coefficients employed [S, 6] Semlempmcal models 171 of Margules, van Laar, Schatchard-Hamer, Wohl and Wdson[8] are tradltlonaily used m the calculatlonal pro- cedures when P -x - y eqmllbrlum data have to be reduced Some of these models have not been utilized previously to establish the composltlon dependences of activity coefficients from P - x data sets

In the systems reported here, spectic mteractlons oc- cur between the constltuents[9] The ObJect of the present work 1s to compare sultabrllty of the mentioned thermodynamic models and the computational proce- dures used to reduce the binary vapour-liquid equlll- brmm data of the investigated systems

EXPERIMENTAL Chemrcals and their properties Analytical grade

acetone (Merck), “Annalar” benzene (BDH), and “RP“ cyclohexane (Carlo Erba) were further purified by the methods already described [9]

Physical properties of the chemicals used for ex- perimental work are compared with the selected pu- bhshed values m Table 1 The second vn-~al coefficients, listed m the same table, for acetone and benzene were

estimated, respectively, by graphlcal mterpolatlon, from the data reported by Bottomley et al [lo, 111 and [12,13] The second virial coefficient for cyclohexane was ob- tamed from the data of Bottomley et al [13,14] by graphical extrapolation The second vlrlal cross- coefficients for the systems acetone-benzene and ben- zene-cyclohexane were estimated, by graphical ex- trapolation, from the data of Knoebel et al [15] and Bottomley et al [13], respectively The cross vu-& coefficient for the system acetone-cyclohexane was predicted by the method of O’Connell and Prausmtz[l6] Partial molar volumes of the components were cal- culated from the excess volumes of mixing reported by Nlgam et al 1171 for acetone-benzene, Stokes et al [lS] for benzene-cyclohexane and RadolkovlC et al [9] for acetone-cyclohexane system

Apparatus and procedure Vapour recirculation stdl as well as the experimental procedure used to obtam the vapour-liquid equlllbrlum data for the systems acetone- benzene and benzene-cyclohexane were described previously[l9] Isothermal data for the system acetone- cyclohexane were measured by a vapour and liquid reclrculatlon stall This sa and the experimental method employed were already described [20]

Equlllbrmm temperature was measured by a mercury thermometer having 0 1°C dlvlslons The temperature readings are believed accurate to f 0 02°C Equrhbnum pressure was measured by a mercury manometer and read with a precision of 0 05 mm of Hg The absolute accuracy of these measurements is probably wlthm f 0 2 mm of Hg The manometer readings were reduced to mdluneters of mercury at 0°C

Pressure m the stall was controlled by a photoelectnc amphfymg system and by a control manometer1191 Sampling of the phases at equdlbrmm was accomplished by the syrmges sunultaneously Composltlon of the samples were determined by measurmg their refractive indices at 25’C A Carl-Zeiss-Abbe refractometer, with an accuracy of 0 0001 was used Tlus corresponds to the maximum uncertainty in mole fraction of * 0 002

CORRELATION OF THE DATA

The experimental vapour-liquid eqmhbrmm data were correlated by two dtierent procedures which take mto account the nomdeahty of both phases One of them 1s based on the use of P - x - y, and the other on the P - x isothermal data

The first calculational procedure was camed out through apphcatlon of eqn (1)

-e

cp,y,P = yJpo~xfzqpo’ exp g

where the fugaclty coefficient rpl of the component I m the vapour phase 1s given by eqn (2)

Incp, =tg y,B,,-lnz (2) I 1

The molar volume Y and the compresslblllty factor z of the vapour mixture were calculated using eqns (3) and (4)

where

The reference fugaclty for pure component I m the hqmd

phase ftq’” was obtamed from eqn (6)

f;<Po) = p,“(&a exp -;pl (6)

The fugaclty coefficient of pure saturated vapour I was calculated from the vulal equation

Various proposed and well-known integrated forms [7,8] of the Gibbs-Duhem differential equation

were used to obtam the composltlon dependence of actlvlty coefficients In order to compute numerlcal values of the adjustable parameters m these expresslons, an optlmlzatlon techmque as well as an objective func-

thermodynamic equation tlon to be mmlmlzed were selected Problems associated with makmg these choices were considered in the literature [ 1,21-231 In the first calculatlonal procedure the objective function defined as

was used, where

r, = (Q,, - QcaJI (12)

The dlmenslonless excess Gibbs energy Q,, 1s related to the actlvlty coefficients by equation

The composltlon dependence of zero pressure actlvlty coefficients, m the expression for Q_,, was aven by equations of Margules, Van Laar, Scatchard-Hamer, Wohl[73 and W&on[8] Newton-Raphson nonhnear programmmg method[24] was used to mmlmlze the ob- Jectlve function F

It was pointed out[2-5) that the calculational proce- dure, described above, makes use of the thermodynaml- tally overspeclfied set of binary isothermal data Never- theless, It IS often practically employed Smce the ex- perimental uncertamty is, in most cases, greatest for vapour composition, different methods for the reduction of P - x data have been developed{l-51

The second calculational procedure, used m the this work, reqmres the experimental P -x data It IS simdar to the method proposed by Prausmtz[2] By mmlmlzmg the sum of squares of the differences between ex- penmental total pressure and total pressure calculated by

this method yields both parameters m the y:po’ vs xi models which satisfy the dlfferentml eqn (10) and vapour cornpositron, smce partial pressure of the component I can be expressed as product yQ The same empmcal fittmg functions for activity coefficients, used m the data reduction procedure described first, were employed m eqn (14) as well

Throughout the second calculational procedure of data reduction the objective function

(15)

and the numerical method[24], already mentioned, was used

RESULTS ANDDISCUSSION

values of parameters depend on the choice of the cal- culational procedure used for theu determination Both treatments have to produce the same values of parameters If the perfect set of P - x - y data 1s reduced usmg a sultable model for activity coefficients In ad- dition, lack-of-convergence was encountered for some of the models used in the reduction procedure of P-x data This fact 1s due to the behavlour of the oblectlve function m the parameter spece and to the nature of the muumuatlon method employed

Standard errors of estunate for vapour composltlon R,, and for total pressure Rp are presented m Table 4, mdlcatmg both the adequacy of two data reduction pro- cedures and the flexlblllty of thermodynanuc models employed

The nature of these results IS a consequence of rela- tively large dtierences m nomdeal behavlour of the mvestlgated systems Et can be seen from Table 4 that for the system acetone-benzene the reduction method, based on P -x data, provides better agreement of the experimental and calculated vapour composltlons than the other method used Significant unprovements m the same sense can be observed especially for the system acetone-cyclohexane These observations are in agreement with the conclusions of Mackay and Salvador [32] who stated that the P - x method should be used m the cases of high relative volatility and where P --x gradient 1s high The results of Table 4, cor- responding to the system benzene-cyclohexane, show that both methods of data reduction provide practically

the same accuracy Mmor advantage of the method based on P -x-y data IS also m agreement with the findings of Mackay and Salvador This 1s due to the fact that the system benzene-cyclohexane has the lowest relative volatthty

It IS well known that the devlatlons between measured and predicted eqmhbrmm vanables come from both the systematic errors of the measurements and from m- adequacy of the thermodynamic mode1 employed m the reduction procedure If a spectic vapour-hqtud eqmh- bnum data set IS represented by different models, their relative surtabdlty can be mdlcated by comparmg the correspondmg devlatlons,t RY1 and Rp values for the system benzene-cyclohexane, where deviations from ldeahty are not large, mdlcate that all the models have slmfiar smtablllty Nevertheless, Margules’s equation

with three parameters (P -x - y method) 1s proposed For the system acetone-benzene some differences exist m the apphcabtilty of the models It seems that three- parameter van Laar’s equation (P - x method) gves the best representation of the data The results of Table 4, for the system acetone-cyclohexane, lead to the conclusron that slgndicant vartations m flexlblllty of the models are present Wlson’s equation (P -x method) and four- parameter Wohl’s equation (P -x method) gave similar results for this system Wtison’s equation, whch uses only two adjustable parameters, seems to be shghtly better

Plots Ayl and AP vs x, for all mveseated systems and for both data reduction procedures, m which above recommended correlatmg models were mcorporated, are shown m Fe 3 Deviations presented m Ay, vs x, plots can be compared with the expenmental uncertamty m order to check the vahdlty of vapour-hqmd eqmhbrmm data One sees from Fig 3 that the mdlvldual deviations Ay, for most of the data points, correspondmg to the

acetonebenzene and benzene-cydohexane systems, are wlthm the range of expernnental error Proposed models for these systems gave standard errors R,, which do not exceed the range of experunental uncertamty as well, mdlcatmg that the data are thermodynamlcally consistent and that the reduction procedure 1s correct [4]

Although the W&on’s equation for the system acetonscyclohexane gave standard error R,, not much outside the range of the experlmental error, mdlvldual deviations Ay, m the acetone ddute regron are more pronounced These higher uncertamtles of the data are due to the previously mentioned experunental dlfficultles expenenced for these composltlons

Although plots AP vs x1 do not check the consistency, they mdlcate the ablltty of proposed anaIytical expres- sions for activity coefficients to fit the experunental P - x data It should be noticed from the AP vs x1 plot of Fe 3, for the system acetone-cyclohexane, that pressure measurements are not represented withm the limits of experimental uncertamty by W&on’s equation Moreover, dutnbuhon of mdlvldual AP pomts m this plot is, to some extent, characterized by nonrandom behavlour Consequently two posslbllltles can occur el- ther the lack-of-flexlbdlty of the Wdson’s equation for acetone-cyclohexane system, or some degree of mcon- slstency of the eqmhbrmm data It 1s known that these two cases cannot be strictly distinguished
