Experimental Determination and Prediction of Gas Solubility Data for CO2 + H2O Mixtures Containing NaNO3 or KNO3 Jo1 rn Kiepe,† Sven Horstmann,‡ Kai Fischer,‡ and Ju 1 rgen Gmehling*,† Department of Industrial Chemistry, University of Oldenburg, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany, and Laboratory for Thermophysical Properties (LTP GmbH), Institute at the University of Oldenburg, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany

In a continuation of earlier investigations, gas solubility data of carbon dioxide (CO2) in aqueous sodium and potassium nitrate solutions (NaNO3, KNO3) were measured using the static synthetic method in a temperature range from 313 to 373 K, for pressures up to 10 MPa and molalities up to 10 mol‚kg-1. Additionally, Henry coefficients were derived from these experimental P-x data, and the experimental data were used to fit interaction parameters for an equation of state approach, which consists of a combination of the predictive Soave-Redlich-Kwong (PSRK) group contribution equation of state and the LIFAC method for the prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria in systems with strong electrolytes. 1. Introduction Reliable information on phase equilibrium behavior is required for the design and optimization of thermal separation and chemical conversion processes as an important topic in chemical engineering. The predictive Soave-Redlich-Kwong (PSRK) group contribution equation of state (EoS)1,2 is widely used in commercial process simulations for the prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria and gas solubilities of nonelectrolyte systems. In many cases, for example, petroleum refining, gas processing, coal gasification, environmental protection, gas antisolvent salt crystallization, petroleum and natural gas exploitation, gas hydrate formation, and various absorption processes, the influence of electrolytes on the phase equilibrium behavior has to be considered for the design of the different industrial processes. To describe also the phase equilibrium behavior of electrolyte systems containing supercritical components, the PSRK EoS was extended by being combined with the LIFAC group contribution method.3 In this approach, the influence of the strong electrolytes on the activity coefficients of the nonelectrolytes is considered using the LIFAC model in the PSRK mixing rule.4 The published group interaction parameters of the PSRK and LIFAC model can be used directly, and only the gas-ion interaction parameters have to be fitted to experimental data. In an earlier article, several experimental gas solubility data for the systems CO2 + H2O + NaCl (KCl) obtained with the static synthetic technique were presented.5 The reliability of the experimental approach has been verified on the basis of experimental data from different authors. These investigations are continued herein as an ongoing investigation of CO2 solubility in aqueous NaNO3 and KNO3 mixtures at temperatures between 40 and 100 °C and pressures up to 10 MPa. * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

The experimental P-x data and derived Henry coefficients obtained in this work are presented in comparison to results calculated using regressed interaction parameters for the PSRK model and also to the data of the former work,5 to show the influence of the different ionic species on the phase equilibrium behavior. Experimental Section 2.1. Materials. Water was distilled twice and then degassed as described before.6 Carbon dioxide (Lu¨bke, purity 99.995%) was used without any further purification. Sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate (Roth, purity > 99%) were dried in a vacuum oven at 80 °C. 2.2. Apparatus and Procedure. For the gas solubility measurements (isothermal P-x data), the same static apparatus as described by Kiepe et al.5 was used. The equipment and measurement procedure were described in detail before.6,7 In this synthetic method, the system pressure is measured at constant temperature for different overall compositions. The apparatus can be operated at temperatures between 200 and 500 K and pressures up to 15 MPa. To determine the global compositions, the quantities of pure substances charged into the stirred equilibrium cell have to be known precisely. The salts are weighed into the cell, after which the cell is evacuated and placed in a thermoregulated oil bath. The purified and degassed water and liquefied carbon dioxide are charged into the cell as compressed liquids using piston injectors (Ruska, model 2200-801), which allows for precise recording of volume differences. After equilibration is reached, the pressure inside the cell is measured with a pressure sensor (Druck, model PDCR 911, range ) 0-13.5 MPa, accuracy ) 0.1 kPa + 0.0001P), and the temperature is monitored with a Pt(100) resistance thermometer (Hart Scientific, model 1560, estimated accuracy ) 0.03 K). The pressure sensor was calibrated with a pressure balance (Desgranges & Huot, model 21 000). Because only temperatures, pressures, total loadings, and total volumes are measured, the compositions of the coexisting phases have to be determined by evaluation of the raw data. This evaluation procedure is quite complex and was described in detail by Fischer and

Wilken.7 From the known solvent feed (water + salt), the liquid-phase volume is determined using precise information about the density of the electrolyte solution inside the equilibrium chamber. Therefore, liquid densities of water + salt mixtures were measured as functions of temperature and salt content using a vibrating tube densimeter (Anton Paar, model DMA 4500).8 From the total volume of the cell, the remaining gas-phase volume can be calculated precisely. At given equilibrium conditions (temperature, gas-phase volume, and CO2 pressure), the amounts of CO2 in the gas phase and thus, also in the liquid phase are obtained. The reliability of this experimental method was verified before, and the results were compared to those obtained via a different experimental method.5 In the static method, several factors have an influence on the resulting liquid-phase compositions and derived Henry coefficients. These factors are the small amounts of solvents in the gas phase, the compressibility of the solvent under the gas pressure, the partial molar volume of the dissolved gas, and the solvent activity coefficient. They can be taken into account in two different ways, as described by Fischer and Wilken.7 In the first method, all effects are considered in an iterative isothermal and isochoric algorithm by solving the mass and volume balances. The second method makes use of EoS models, which offer the advantage of providing the auxiliary desired quantities given above directly. To test the reliability of the data treatment, both methods were applied to the raw data measured in this and the former work,5 whereupon identical results were obtained. The experimental error in the compositions can be found as σ(xi) ) 0.0001. 3. Results and Discussion The experimental P-x data from this work, which were obtained with the EoS raw data treatment approach mentioned above, are listed in Tables 1-6. From these data, Henry coefficients, H12, were derived using

also described accurately using the same set of parameters for the CO2-NO3- interaction. Figure 4 shows the influence of NaNO3 and KNO3 on the gas solubility of CO2 in water at m ) 2.5 mol‚kg-1 and 40 °C in comparison to the solubilities for NaCl and KCl reported by Kiepe et al.5 The experimental data are in excellent agreement with the calculated data. Furthermore, it can be seen that the Na+ cation has a stronger effect on the CO2 solubility than the K+ cation. Accordingly, the influence of the Cl- anion is larger than that of the NO3- anion. 4.

salt concentration is observed. It can be also seen that the effect of the electrolyte on the gas solubility decreases with increasing the temperature. Using the CO2-K+ and CO2-Na+ interaction parameters given by Kiepe et al.,5 the CO2-NO3- interaction parameters, which were simultaneously fitted to NaNO3 and KNO3 data, enable the reliable description of the solubility of CO2 in the electrolyte solution as a function of the salt concentration and temperature. The obtained interaction parameters (short-range and middle-range) are given in Table 8. For the short-range parameters, the following temperature dependence is used

parij ) aij + bijT where T and parij have units of Kelvin. In Figure 2a-c, P-x data for the system CO2 + H2O + KNO3 at 40, 80, and 100 °C are presented, together with the calculated results using the same PSRK interaction parameters. For this system, the observed salt effect is generally smaller than for the NaNO3 system. This can also be concluded from the Henry coefficients given in Table 7 and plotted against temperature in Figure 3a,b. For the KNO3 system, the salting-out effect and its temperature dependence are

Reliable gas solubility data (isothermal P-x data) for CO2 in aqueous NaNO3 and KNO3 solutions were measured up to 10 MPa over wide concentration and temperature ranges with a static apparatus, following an experimental approach whose reliability has already been demonstrated.5 CO2-NO3- interaction parameters for the PSRK method were regressed to the experimental data of this work. All systems containing NaNO3 and KNO3 can be described with this set of interactions parameters, which is evidence of the flexibility and consistency of the model. The salting-out effect, as well as the temperature dependence of the solubility behavior, is represented correctly. To summarize, it was possible to extend the PSRK model successfully to electrolyte systems by linking this method with the LIFAC model. Further experimental results (CH4 solubility in aqueous salt mixtures) will be published soon to fill existing gaps in the PSRK parameter matrix.
