New Modified Wilson Model for Electrolyte Solutions Xin Xu and Euge´ nia A. Macedo* Laboratory of Separation and Reaction Engineering, Departamento de Engenharia Quı´mica, Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal

A new model is proposed to model the activity coefficients of electrolytes in aqueous solutions. The model consists of two contributions: one due to long-range forces represented by the unsymmetric Pitzer-Debye-Hu¨ckel equation and the other due to short-range forces described by a new local composition expression. This last term is obtained from work presented in a previous paper for polymer aqueous solutions. With only two adjustable parameters per electrolyte, the new expression for the short-range excess Gibbs energy has the same form as the Wilson model for nonelectrolytes. The new equation is tested with experimental data available in the literature. The mean ionic activity coefficients of electrolytes are represented very satisfactorily. The performance of the new equation is compared with the performances of the other three models. 1. Introduction

2. Thermodynamic Model

Electrolytes play an important role in many applications that typically occur in the areas of corrosion, water pollution control, salting-in and salting-out effects in extraction and distillation, food processing, oilfield, paper production, and bioseparation, among others.1-4 Numerous attempts have been made to develop models to represent thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions. Reviews of the present understanding of the thermodynamics of electrolytes have appeared in the literature,5,6 including the local composition models7-11 and equations for mixed solvents and mixed electrolytes.8,12-14 The most well-known local composition model for electrolytes is the nonrandom two-liquid model (NRTL) proposed by Chen,7,8 using Pitzer’s modification of the Debye-Hu¨ckel theory15,16 for activity coefficients for long-range forces and a NRTL equation for short-range forces. Using only two binary adjustable parameters, the model can correlate and predict the activity coefficients for electrolyte solutions successfully. Zhao et al.17 have extended the Wilson model for nonelectrolytes18 to electrolyte solutions, with the shortrange interactions represented with a local composition expression. The main difference between this model and the extensions of the NRTL equation to electrolytes available is the assumption that the short-range energy parameter between species in a local cell has an enthalpic rather than commonly assumed Gibbs energy nature.17 This model represents the mean activity coefficients of electrolytes very well. In this study, an expression extended from the residual contribution of the modified Wilson model for polymer aqueous solutions19 is proposed to represent the short-range interactions in electrolyte solutions.

As usual, the excess Gibbs energy is written as a sum of two contributions:

Hence, two terms of the unsymmetric mean ionic (mole fraction based) activity coefficient are obtained:

ln γi* ) ln γi*,LR + ln γi*,SR

(2)

The first term represents the long-range Coulombic interactions, while the second term, based on the local composition concept, refers to the short-range interactions in electrolyte solutions. 2.1. Long-Range Contribution. In this work, the Pitzer-Debye-Hu¨ckel equation proposed by Pitzer16 is used to represent the contribution of the long-range ion-ion interactions (see the Appendix). 2.2. Short-Range Contribution. In this study, the term for the residual contribution of the modified Wilson model for polymer solutions published earlier19 is extended to represent the short-range excess energy in electrolyte solutions:

which is very similar to the Wilson equation18 in formula. It must be normalized to the infinitely dilute reference state for the ions, according to the so-called unsymmetric convention. The normalization equation is

where γ∞c and γ∞a are the infinite-dilution activity coefficients of the cation and anion of the electrolyte, respectively. Proper partial differentiation of the excess Gibbs energy expression is used to obtain the expressions for the activity coefficients of the different species in the solution. The activity coefficient expression for the anion is

where NP is the number of data points. The conversion of the values of the activity coefficients between the true mole fraction and the molality scale is given as follows:

The standard deviations obtained with the model proposed in this work are also included in Table 1. They are compared with the other standard deviations of the NRTL model,7 the NRTL-NRF model,23 and the extension of the Wilson model17 for electrolytes. The average standard deviations are summarized in Table 2, by electrolyte type. As can be seen, with the same number of parameters, i.e., two parameters for each electrolyte system, the new model under study can represent, in most cases, the experimental data superiorly than the NRTL. For 2-2 electrolyte systems, the NRTL-NRF model seems to give better results. From Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the standard deviations for the model proposed in this work are almost comparable to those calculated with the extension of the Wilson model for electrolytes.17 However, the expression of the model presented here is much simpler, with the same form as the Wilson equation.18 The nonrandom factor could be considered as another adjustable parameter. For example, the average standard deviation of the fit for 1-1 electrolytes can be reduced from 0.012 to 0.0084 by adjusting the value of the nonrandom parameter within the range 0.008-7. Thus, the modified Wilson model not only can successfully describe the experimental data for electrolytes but also has flexibility comparable to that of the extension of the Wilson model.17

A new activity coefficient model for electrolyte solutions is proposed in this work. The short-range interaction term is extended from the residual contribution of the modified Wilson model published in a previous paper19 calculating the solvent activities in polymer solutions. The new model contains two adjustable energy parameters, which were correlated from experimental data using the nonrandom factor fixed at 0.1. The modified Wilson model can describe the activity coefficients for electrolyte solutions successfully.
