CORRELATIONS Estimation of Infinite-Dilution Diffusion Coefficients in Supercritical Fluids Chao-Hong He* and Yong-Sheng Yu Department of Chemical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, People’s Republic of China

Based on the hard-sphere theory and an extensive literature database, new correlations are developed to estimate the binary diffusion coefficients of liquid and solid solutes in supercritical solvents. The correlations can predict the behavior of the binary diffusion coefficients in a range of the reduced solvent density larger than 0.21, with an average absolute error of 7.8% for 107 systems and 1167 data points. The input data required for the correlations are the solute molecular weight, temperature, and density and the solvent basic properties (molecular weight, critical volume, and critical pressure). Introduction A knowledge of binary diffusion coefficients of solutes in supercritical solvents is required in the equipment design and process development involving supercritical fluids. It is important, therefore, to be able to estimate the diffusion coefficients at conditions and for solutes where no data are available. Though correlations for this purpose are available in many forms (Eaton and Akgerman, 1997; Liu et al., 1997; Akgerman et al., 1996; Catchpole and King, 1994; Funazukuri et al., 1991), most of them are either specific to the given supercritical solvent, cover a limited density range, or give poor prediction results. So it is the aim of this paper to propose correlations to predict the binary diffusion coefficients in various supercritical solvents with better results. Correlations According to the hard-sphere theory, Dymond (1972) gave a good correlation for predicting the self-diffusion coefficient given below: 2/3

D11 ) A′(V1

- B′)xT/M1

(1)

The success of eq 1 in correlating the self-diffusion coefficients leads one to expect, in analogy with eq 1, that the binary diffusion coefficients of solutes in supercritical solvents will obey an equation of the form

D21 ) A′′(V12/3 - B′′)xT/M2

(2)

where A′′ and B′′ are constants for the given solutesolvent system. Equation 2 was applied to correlate the infinitedilution diffusion coefficients of liquid and solid solutes in supercritical solvents, where the solvent molar volume V1 is obtained by 1000M1/F1 (if F1 is not available with the quoted data source, V1 is then calculated by * Author to whom correspondence is addressed.

the BWR equation of state (Perry, 1984)). The correlation results showed that eq 2 gave good results if the reduced solvent density Fr (Fr ) F1/Fc1 ) Vc1/V1) was greater than 1 but gave poorer results if Fr was less than 1. Thus, eq 2 was modified as

D21 ) A × 10-9(V1k - B)xT/M2

k ) (2/3)[1 - 0.28 exp(-0.3xM1Fr)]

(4)

In order to make eq 3 predictive, the parameters A and B must be related to the solute-solvent properties. For this purpose, a large database has been used: 107 binary systems performing 1167 data points. Table 1 contains the systems studied, along with the data sources. It was found that the parameters A and B were approximately dependent on the properties of the solvent only. Further analysis shows that A and B can be approximated as the following equations:

A ) 0.56362 + 2.1417 exp(-0.95088xM1Vc1/Pc1),

Fr g 0.21 (5)

B ) 8.9061 + 0.93858xM1Vc1/Pc1,

Fr g 0.21

(6)

Results and Discussion Equations 3-6 have been used to predict the binary diffusion coefficients of all the solvent-solute systems given in Table 1. The total average absolute deviation (AAD %) is 7.8% for 1167 data points with the density range Fr g 0.21, and the maximum AAD % is 24.5%, where AAD % is
