New Algorithm for Calculation of Azeotropes from Equations. of State Shao-Hwa Wang and Wallace B. Whltlng' Department of Chemical Engineering, West Virginia Universiw, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506-6 10 1

By treating vapor-liquid equilibrium for the azeotropic point of a mixture as similar to that for a pure compound, a new algorithm for azeotropic prediction has been developed. Methods of azeotropic prediction for muticomponent systems are also derived from Anderson's vapor-liquid equilibrium calculation method and from Teja's constant-temperature binary azeotrope method. Results from calculations for 36 binary systems and one ternary system show that the new algorithm is the most efficient and robust of all. Azeotropic loci of several mixtures that are weli-described by a simple generalized van der Waals equation of state have been calculated successfully with the new algorithm. This new algorithm is useful for rapid detection of azeotropes and is applicable to any equation of state.

Extensive research has been done on predicting vaporliquid equilibria for industrially important systems. Of particular interest to the chemical engineer, however, is the prediction of azeotropes, a special case of fluid-phase equilibrium, which has not received much attention. General phase-equilibrium algorithms often fail near azeotropes; thus, a specialized algorithm is desirable. Such an efficient and robust algorithm is presented here. There exist various kinds of azeotropic mixtures. However, our attention is restricted here to homoazeotropic systems without chemical reactions. For these systems, two methods previously reported in the literature have been modified for calculation of multicomponent azeotropes. We compared these two methods with our new algorithm for 37 systems. Using the principle of corresponding states along with an experimental equation of state for a reference substance, Teja and Rowlinson (1973) have predicted binary azeotropes at constant temperature. The Powell method (1965) was used to minimize an objective function which is the sum of the squares of the differences of the following thermodynamic properties in the two coexisting phases: pressure, partial derivative of Helmholtz free energy with respect to mole fraction of one component, and molar Gibbs free energy. These calculations are restricted to binary mixtures at constant temperature. We extend Teja's calculation to multicomponent systems at both constant temperature and constant pressure. Computation methods for bubble points and dew points have been presented by Anderson and Prausnitz (1980). They illustrated the calculation by applying a generalized canonical van der Waals partition function. On the basis of Anderson's work, two schemes for azeotropic calculation have been derived in this study: (1)by setting the criterion to be equal the mole fractions of each component in both phases and (2) by locating the temperature (or pressure) extremum. However, the latter metthod can be used to predict binary azeotropes only. In the present investigation, we developed a new algorithm for azeotropic calculation, which we tested for a number of binary systems and one ternary system in comparison with the previous methods. To be fair in the comparison,the computer programs for each method have been written to be as efficient as possible and have the

same amount of input and output. Furthermore, the same tolerance of convergence is used for each method. The equation of state used is derived from the generalized van der Waals' partition function as illustrated by Anderson. Pure-componentparameters as well as binary interaction parameters used in the calculation were fit to P-V-T data, vapor-pressure data, and binary vapor-liquid equilibrium data by the maximum-likelihood principle. The computer programs used for fitting parameters are those prepared by Anderson (1978). The new algorithm is also used to calculate the azeotropic loci of several binary systems to show its capability.

New Algorithm for Calculation of Azeotropes We use the similarity of an azeotropic system to a pure component to simplify azeotropic calculations and to make them more robust. As a liquid mixture of azeotropic composition is heated at constant pressure, the temperature increases until the boiling point is reached. The entire liquid then vaporizes at that constant temperature, and only after all is in the vapor phase does the temperature continue to rise. This first-order phase transition is identical with that for pure-component vaporization but distinctly different from vaporization of a nonazeotropic liquid mixture. As efficient and robust algorithms exist for calculation of pure-component phase equilibria, we use these methods as a starting point for azeotrope calculations. For a pure component, the equality of the Gibbs free energies in both phases required for phase equilibrium leads to the following expression given in basic thermodynamics texts AL - A" = P(V -

which is equivalent to

LTP

For azeotropes (unlike other multicomponent systems), eq 1 must also hold. The chemical potentials of each component in the vapor phase and in the liquid phase must be equal. Since the compositions are identical in the two phases, this leads to an equality of the molar Gibbs free energies for the two phases. Equation 1is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for azeotropy. Clearly then, if the constant-composition

Equation of State Used We have used the generalized van der Waals equation of state of Anderson and Prausnitz (1980) for our comparisons of the methods for calculating azeotropes (eq 6). However, any equation of state can be used with our algorithm

for i = 1,2,3, ...,N, - 1. Fugacity coefficients (4,) are easily calculated from equations of state (see, e.g.: Prausnitz, 1969). Figure 1 shows the flow diagram for azeotropic calculation with this new algorithm. From an equation of state, the molar volume, Helmholtz free energy, and fugacity coefficients for each phase are calculated. The secant method is used to compute both the equilibrium temperature (or pressure) and the azeotropic composition, since it is less sensitive than the Newton-Raphson method to rapid changes in the slope of the function at points far from a converged solution. An IMSL subroutine for the secant method known as ZSCNT was used for multicomponent calculations. A primary advantage of our method is that we avoid spurious roots. We first solve eq 2. If there is no van der Waals loop, we know immediately that there can be no azeotrope. If there is a loop, we have realistic densities for the two phases with which we test whether eq 5 is satisfied. Our algorithm never searches in nonphysical regions because we constrain the search to regions in which eq 2 is satisfied.

We used the maximum-likelihood method for all parameter estimation (Anderson et al., 1978) to account properly for the experimental uncertainty in the experimental data used. For pure-component parameters ( a ,0, y,and 6), we used vapor-pressure and dense-fluid P-V-T data. Primarily, binary interaction parameters (k,) were obtained from the correlation of P-T-x-y data. However, the k,'s of some mixtures are so strongly temperature- and pressure-dependent that the prediction of azeotropes for different conditions is impossible with only a single value of k,. To compare the azeotropic calculation methods, we have used the k, esimated from the specific azeotropic point to be calculated for those mixtures for which we experienced difficulty in calculation with the k , estimated from the P-T-x-y data. The resulting parameters are given in Table I. These parameters and the parameters for pure fluids given by Anderson and Prausnitz (1980) were used in our calculation.

Comparison of Azeotropic Calculation Methods The highlights of the four methods that we compared can be summarized as follows: New. The azeotrope is treated as a pure component. Anderson-I. Normal phase-equilibria calculations are done until the two phases have the same composition. Anderson-11. Normal phase-equilibria calculations are done to find the temperature or pressure extremum. Teja. Azeotropic criteria are solved simultaneously by varying phase densities and composition. For every method, the tolerance of convergence is chosen as 1 x lo4. To have a reasonable initial guess of pressure for the constant-temperature azeotropic calculation, we compute the vapor pressures for all the pure compounds and choose the estimated pressure to be the average of the lowest and highest vapor pressures. In an analogous manner, the initial guess of temperature is chosen for the same azeotropic calculation. For a binary system, the initial guess for the azeotropic composition was z1 = 0.5 and z 2 = 0.5. The ternary azeotropic composition is guessed as tl = 0.3,z2 = 0.3, and z 3 = 0.4. The same initial guesses and tolerance of convergence are used to predict azeotropes so that we can compare the computer time consumed and the robustness for all the methods of azeotropic calculation.

Azeotropes were calculated for 36 binary systems and one ternary system with all four methods. Since the same equation of state is used, the calculated azeotropes are the same for all the algorithms. Because of the choice of k,, the calculated results agree with the experimental data within experimental error. Both constant-temperature and constant-pressure azeotropic calculations were executed for each system. The detailed results of each calculation are given elsewhere (Wang, 1984). The CPU execution time required for each method per azeotropic calculation is summarized in Table 11. The number of convergence failures for each method is also shown, which can be used to infer the robustness of each method. A FORTRAN G compiler was used under an M V S operating system on an Amdahl470 V/7A computer. The source code for all computer programs is available from the authors. Only the new method and the Anderson-I method were free from failures, in our experience. For every azeotropic system, the new method took less CPU time. On the average, the Anderson-I method took 54% more CPU time

for constant-temperaturecalculations and 39% more CPU time for constant-pressure calculations.

Azeotropic Locus Calculation One particular aspect of azeotropes which is of interest to chemical engineers is the difficulty encounted in the distillation of azeotropic mixtures. Since most synthetic organic liquids of commerical interest are purified by distillation, a significant concern is whether a mixture will run into its azetropic locus during this operation. There is only one degree of freedom for an azeotropic state; in other words, all the azeotropes of a system fall on a curve. This uniform-composition curve can be plotted on a P-T diagram regardless of the number of components. Below we present several representative azeotropic loci, including the experimental data and the results calculated by the new algorithm for azeotropic calculation. In Figure 2, the predicted results for the carbon dioxidelethane system show good agreement with experimental data, and the end point of the locus is very close to that predicted by Teja and Rowlinson (1973).

Figure 3 shows the azeotropic locus for the water/acetone system calculated with the new algorithm and the critical locus calculated with Heidemann and Khalil's method (1980). The predicted azeotropic end point is not in accord with the experimental data, but it ends at the critical region like the experimental results. The k, used is obtained by fitting the azeotropic point at 397.25 K, 6.87 bar. The azeotropic locus of water/ethanol in Figure 4 ends at 540.00 K, 102.11 bar. Again, the k, used in the calculation is estimated from the single azeotropic point at 351.45 K, 1.0113 bar. This system shows good agreement between predicted results and experimental data.

extremum) arise from the encounter of spurious roots. Figure 5 shows a case in which spurious roots instead of the azeotropic points are located as the temperature or pressure extreme. Similar failures are widely reported for traditional vapor-liquid equilibriumcalculations. The new method avoids such problems because it searches for the azeotrope directly. It does not search in regions where vapor and liquid compositions are not identical. Conclusions A new algorithm has been developed to predict homoazeotropes with equations of state. It is robust, converges rapidly, and generates its own initial estimates. Rapid convergence is obtained by regarding the azeotropic point as a pure compound. Here, by way of illustration, the new method has been compared (for 36 binary systems

Ind. Eng. Chem. Process Des. Dev., Vol. 25, No. 2, 1986 551

and one ternary system) to methods derived from Anderson and Prausnitz's (1980) vapor-liquid equilibrium calculation and from Teja and Rowlinson's (1973) binary azeotropic calculation. The new method is clearly superior. It is also used to predict the azeotropic loci and the azeotropic end points of several binary systems with satisfactory results. This new algorithm can be used for constant-temperature as well as constant-pressure azeotropic predictions. For a constant-pressure azeotropic calculation, the initial estimate of temperature is chosen as a value lying among the lowest and the highest of the pure-component saturation temperatures. In like manner, the initial estimate of pressure is chosen for a constant-temperature azeotropic calculation. The initial guesses of azeotropic composition, however, are picked rather arbitrarily as l/Nc for every component of an N,-component system. An approximate model for fluids, the generalized van der Waals equation of state, has been used to demonstrate the azeotropic calculations. It requires only pure-component parameters and binary interaction parameters to predict the azeotropes of multicomponent systems. A parameter-estimation process based on the maximumlikelihood principle is used. The pure-component parameters are reckoned by fitting the equation of state to vapor-pressure data and dense-fluid P-V-T data. Similarly, the binary-interaction parameters are estimated from vapor-liquid equilibrium P-T-x-y data. This simple equation of state is not good enough to describe every kind of fluid mixture; nevertheless, it is sufficient for our present illustrative purposes. The results of azeotropic calculations show that the computer time required by other methods is 47%-1135% greater than that required by the new method. As discussed by Leesley and Heyen (1977), 75% of the computer-aided process-design cost is due to the evaluation of thermophysical properties. This efficient and robust new algorithm, therefore, should be useful in process design that involves azeotropic predictions.
