Equation of State for Small, Large, Polydisperse, and Associating Molecules: Extension to Fluid Mixtures Stanley H. Huang and Maciej Radosz* Exxon Research and Engineering Company, Annandale, New Jersey 08801

Statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT)has been extended t o mixtures using rigorous statistical mechanical expressions for the hard-sphere, chain, and association terms. In contrast to previous equations of state, only the dispersion term requires mixing rules (averaging equations for SAFT parameters). We use two approaches t o deriving the mixing rules, a van der Waals one-fluid approximation (vdW1) rooted in conformal solution theory and a volume-fraction (vf) approximation similar to group-contribution equations of state. We test these approaches on 60 phase equilibrium data sets for asymmetric (small large) and associating binaries. While both sets of mixing rules, vdWl and vf, are found t o be adequate away from the critical region, the vf predictions are found t o be more accurate near the critical region.

Introduction Computer simulation plays a central role at different stages of process development. Such simulation sensitively depends on the quality of physical concepts underlying various process models. One of these concepts that is frequently invoked is to use an equation of state rooted in molecular thermodynamics to derive chemical potentials or fugacities needed to predict phase equilibria. For example, numerous single-stage and multistage, distillative and extractive separations are commonly predicted on the basis of vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria. To derive the chemical potentials for such predictions, one has to use an equation of state that is not only valid over the whole density range, from zero to the density of interest, but also applicable to the mixture of interest. We recently reported an equation of state for p u r e components (Huang and Radosz, 1990), based on the statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT). The reference part of SAFT includes the hard-sphere, chain, and association terms. The perturbation part accounts for relatively weaker, mean-field (e.g., dispersion and induction) effects. The reference part can be traced to the ideas and results of Wertheim (1984,1986) and Chapman et al. (1989, 1990), as described by Huang and Radosz (1990). The perturbation part is similar to that proposed initially by Alder et al. (1972) and also used by Chen and Kreglewski (1977) for pure compounds and by Simnick et al. (1979) for mixtures. The key result of our work on pure and 0888-5885191J 2630-1994$02.50f 0 0

polydisperse components was a practical, prototype equation of state with well-behaved, easy to estimate parameters. Our goal is to extend this equation of state to mixtures of small, large, chain, and associating molecules over the whole density range using only one binary adjustable parameter that is temperature independent. For reference, while specialized methods have been proposed for narrow groups of systems (for example, empirical activity coefficient models for associating molecules at low pressures, or cubic equations of state for small nonassociating molecules), there is no single approach available for mixtures of small and large, associating and nonassociating molecules, at low and high pressures. SAFT is unique in this respect. We will define SAFT in terms of the Helmholtz energy and present correlation results for low-pressure associating binaries away from the critical region and for high-pressure binaries near the critical region. In this work, we do not include systems containing cross associations, such as acids + water. These systems will be addressed later in the continuation of this work.

Equation of State The theoretical results underlying the equation of state are given in this section in terms of the residual Helmholtz energy am per mole, defined as am(T,Vm = aba(T,VJV) - aidralgu (T,V,N),a t the same temperature and density.

lowing standard procedure as described, for example, by Topliss (1985). Symbols used here are consistent with those used in the earlier papers by Chapman et al. (1990) and by Huang and Radosz (1990). The residual Helmholtz energy is a sum of reference (major contribution) and dispersion (minor perturbation) parts:

(2) These three reference terms can be extended to mixtures based on rigorous statistical mechanics. Mixtures of Hard Spheres. Our hard-sphere term for mixtures is based on a theoretical result of Mansoori et al. (1971), which for the Helmholtz energy equation is given by

,

- CXi(l - mi) In (gii(dii)b) i

(10)

where gii is evaluated for the interaction of two spheres i in a mixture of spheres, evaluated at the hard-sphere contact, given by eq 9. Equation 10 has been derived on the basis of the associating fluid theory, where the association bonds are replaced by covalent, chain-forming bonds, as explained in Chapman et al. (1990, and earlier papers). Mixtures of Associating Spheres. The Helmholtz energy due to association, used for pure components by Huang and Radosz (1990), is an average that is linear with respect to mole fractions, as described by Chapman et al. (1990):

where XAi,the mole fraction of molecules i not bonded at site A, in mixture with other components, is given by where 5h+3 is a function of the molar density p. Since our reference fluid contains hard spheres, which can be bonded to form chains, we use the f functions proposed by Chapman et al. (1990), which are applicable to bonded spheres:

where X is the mole fraction, m is the number of segments per molecule, and d is the effective, temperature-dependent segment diameter. We note that for pure components, eq 3 reduces to (5)

where CBjmeans summation over all sites on molecule j : Aj, Bj, Cj, ..., and Z j means summation over all components. As we can see, XAidepends on the molar density pj: P j = Xjpmixture (13) and on the association strength A*@,: AAiBj

where aV = (aii u , , ) / 2 . We approximate the segment radial distribution !unction in eq 14 with eqs 8 and 9. Dispersion Term. A general expression for the dispersion term is

where the hard-sphere term for pure segments (ao,per mole of segments) is that proposed by Carnahan and Starling (1969):

- - - m-aOdbP RT RT adisp

(15)

Another useful expression derived by Mansoori et al. (1971), which we will invoke later, is that for the pair correlation function for a mixture of hard spheres (which approximate our hard segments):

where m is the segment number and ao&P is the dispersion Helmholtz energy, per mole of segments. The aOdhPterm is a function of the segment energy u / k T (Huang and Radosz, 1990). Hence, there are two parameters in the dispersion term that have to be generalized, u/kT and m. Our first approach is based on a conformal solution, van der Waals one-fluid theory (vdWl), that defines the molecular energy and size (volume) of a hypothetical pure fluid having the same residual properties as the mixture of interest. The vdWl averaging equations are often referred to as the vdWl mxing rules. Our mixing rule for u / k T is

where kij is an empirical binary parameter, fitted to experimental data. Since our segment volume parameters Vooand uo are defined on a per-segment basis and hence do not vary much from molecule to molecule, especially for large molecules, we will use the segment number m as a measure of the molecular size. Therefore, our mixing rule for m (the average segment number for mixtures) is

In addition to the vdWl set of mixing rules given above and in the spirit of the group-contribution equations of state of Skjold-Jorgensen (1984) and Pults et al. (1989), we define and explore a modified set with a more general expression for u:

where f is a volume fraction, defined as Ximiuoi fi = C X j m j u o j j

To s u m up, we have introduced two seta of mixing rules: vdWl (eqs 1620) and volume fraction (vf, eqs 18-22), both of which utilize only one adjustable binary parameter kij given in eq 18. We will discuss results obtained for the vdWl and vf mixing rules in the following two sections. We note that in contrast to conventional approaches where the mixing rules have usually been applied to all the terms, we apply the mixing rules to only one term, i.e., the dispersion term. In a sensitivity study, we also tested generalized forms of eqs 20 and 22 for m and u / k T ,respectively. Equation 20 is generalized by introducing a second adjustable parameter 1, for m:

and eq 22 is generalized to Xi(miuoi)y fi = CXj(mjuoj)’

where y is a specified exponent for the molecular volume. In the case that y is specified as 2/3, the fraction f represents surface fraction. These two approaches, utilizing y and lij, are tested on one system for sensitivity analysis. In all other examples in this work we use only the vdWl and vf mixing rules with only one binary parameter, kip The equation of state presented above has been used to correlate vapor-liquid equilibria of many real fluid mixtures. The purpose for the correlation was to test the mixing rules, vdWl and vf, discussed in this section. The method was to minimize the deviations in phase compositions by adjusting the binary parameter kij in eq 18. The computer software developed for this work utilizes a parametrization procedure proposed by Toplias (1985) and described in detail for SAFT in the Appendix. All the pure-component parameters used were those given by Huang and Radosz (1990). The computational requirements are similar to other noncubic equations of state, such as the perturbed hard chain theory, which means that these requirements are acceptable for a vast majority of applications. Although in some simulation applications the computational requirements can be a limiting factor, for example, in reservoir simulation, we are much more concerned with the predictive power and the ease of estimating the equation of state parameters, which are important strengths of

not deteriorate significantly when kij is set equal to zero. Alkanol-hydrocarbon binaries that exhibit azeotropic behavior are also well represented. This is shown in Figure 2 for three benzene binaries in vapor-liquid mole fraction coordinates. Only the solid parta of the curves have been calculated from SAFT because our preliminary flash program used in this work (to be refined) cannot handle regions near the azeotrope. A similar method of presenting results has been used for benzene binaries with carboxylic acids shown in Figure 3. In general, all the low-pressure vapor-liquid equilibria in the nonassociating and associating binary fluids we have

tested can be accurately predicted using one adjustable parameter, kij. We found that also high-pressure vaporliquid equilibria can be predicted this way, except near the critical region. This is shown in Figure 4 for ethene and eicosane at 423 K. As we approach the critical region the vdWl mixing rules tend to overpredict the equilibrium pressure. This is typical for many other binaries we have tested. While it is recognized that analytical equations of state are not very accurate at near-critical conditions, we found that improvement can be accomplished using the vf mixing rules.

vf Mixing Rules More Accurate Near the Critical Region The degree of improvement at near-critical conditions is illustrated for the ethene-eicosane system in Figure 4. Both vdWl and vf sets of mixing rules are comparable away from the critical region. While not perfect, the vf

set predicts a more realistic phase boundary pressure around the critical point. The extent of deviations in the critical region varies from system to system. Representative examples are shown for a methane-hexadecane system (a short-long binary) in Figure 5, for a COzmethanol system (a quadrupolar-dipolar, associating binary) in Figure 6, and for a C02-propanol-2 system (also a quadrupolar-dipolar, associating binary) in Figure 7. In all these cases, pressure is plotted versus mole fraction because the experimental phase compositions have been measured in mole fractions. For a C02-hexanol system shown in Figure 8, Nickel and Schneider (1989) measured phase compositions spectroscopically (near-infrared, an important novel approach) in volumetric units (mg/mL). Therefore, we had to use the equation of state estimated densities in order to convert the predicted mole fractions into mg/mL, to be able to compare them with the experimental data. Since we have no way to verify these densities, especially the vapor-phase density, we consider the quality of the calculated curves to be reasonably good. In addition to the overall hexanol concentration, Nickel and Schneider also measured the hexanol monomer con-

centration. As shown in Figure 9, the equation of state underpredicts the liquid monomer concentration (overpredicts the degree of association). There are several possible sources of this discrepancy that can be considered. For example, uncertainty of the calculated mixture densities, as mentioned above, and the use of the association parameters ( t and K ) derived from the pure-component properties. By contrast, the predicted monomer fraction in the vapor phase is in good agreement with the experiment. Since the monomer fraction in the vapor phase is less sensitive to t and K (because of low density), perhaps the c and K derived for hexanol from its pure-component properties should be readjusted on the basis of the association data obtained for mixtures. In future work, we will address this problem of how to reconcile the predicted monomer fraction with the bulk concentrations. One of the more difficult systems to predict from equations of state is water-hydrocarbon. Although a detailed study of such systems is beyond the scope of this paper, we report testing SAFT on solubility of water in methane and ethane a t different temperatures (we have not tested solubilities of hydrocarbon in water though).

0.9 Mole Fraction of Ethene

In all the calculations discussed above, we use only one adjustable binary parameter, kij, given by eq 18. In this section, we briefly explore, by way of sensitivity analysis, the other two parameters, y (eq 24) and lij (eq 23). Our sensitivity analysis is based on the results of correlating the ethene n-eicosane binary system at 423 K. The adjustable parameters are obtained by fitting the liquidphase composition at 23 bar; compositions at other pressures are predicted. Results for kii and y (the segment energy, eqs 18 and 24) are presented in Figure 11. €?,esults for Zij (the segment number, eq 23) are presented in Figure 12. The critical region in Figure 11 is enlarged in an insert for details. When kij is equal to zero, the calculated results are practically the same for all y values. The solid curve marked ref shows the common results for reference. However, different y values strongly affect the correlation quality especially in the critical region. Roughly, the larger the y value, the more the two-phase region is expanded. In this work, y = 1 is selected. Figure 12 shows the l!j effects. Because 1, affects the segment number m,which is an independent multiplier for the segment energy uodMp, 1, effects are independent of kij.and y values. In this figure, only the curve of y = 1.05 is shown. Roughly, positive values of 1, suppress the two-phase region near the critical point, whereas they enlarge the two-phase region in the low-pressure region. In other words, lij can be used to adjust the slope of the coexistence (pressure-composition) curves.

shown in Figure 10, the solubilities of water in ethane calculated from SAFT are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. A similar agreement has been obtained for methane (Table 11). It is worth noting that only one adjustable, temperature-independent parameter (kij)has been used to predict the ethane-water and methanewater data.

Conclusions The SAFT equation of state has been extended in this work to mixtures of small, large, and associating molecules

2002 Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., Vol. 30, No. 8, 1991

at low and high pressures. This extension has been accomplished using rigorous statistical mechanical expressions for the hard-sphere, chain, and association terms. Only the dispersion term required mixing rules, and only one binary, temperature-independent parameter is required to represent the experimental data that usually are difficult to predict from equations of state. Both sets of mixing rules, the van der Waals one-fluid approximation vdWl and the volume-fraction approximation vf, similar to those used in the group-contribution equations of state, have been found to be adequate away from the critical region. However, near the critical region, the vf mixing rules have been found to be more accurate.
