Group‐contribution estimation of activity coefficients in nonideal liquid mixtures

Fredenslund, Aage, Jones, Russell L., Prausnitz, John M.·1975·AIChE Journal

Abstract

A group‐contribution method is presented for the prediction of activity coefficients in nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures. The method combines the solution‐of‐functional‐groups concept with a model for activity coefficients based on an extension of the quasi chemical theory of liquid mixtures (UNIQUAC). The resulting UNIFAC model (UNI QUAC F unctional‐group A ctivity C oefficients) contains two adjustable parameters per pair of functional groups. By using group‐interaction parameters obtained from data reduction, activity coefficients in a large number of binary and multicomponent mixtures may be predicted, often with good accuracy. This is demonstrated for mixtures containing water, hydrocarbons, alcohols, chlorides, nitriles, ketones, amines, and other organic fluids in the temperature range 275° to 400°K.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
