  14. Introduction to MSE • Why develop a new thermodynamic model? • The Bromley-Zemaitis model (a/k/a Aqueous Model-AE) had limitations • Water was required as a solvent • Mole fraction of all solutes was limited to approximately 0.35 • Limited in temperature (Approximately 300 oC) • LLE predictions exclude critical solution points (limited to strongly dissimilar phases) • A Mixed Solvent Electrolyte model (MSE) has advantages • Water is not required • Mole fraction of solute can approach and be equal to 1.0 • Temperature can be up to 0.9 Tc of solution • Full range of LLE calculations including electrolytes in both phases

  15. MSE model Model advantages: No composition limitations Reliable predictions for multicomponent concentrated solutions Full range of LLE calculations including electrolytes in both phases Methodological advantages Multi-property regressions Consistent use of thermochemical properties (no shortcuts like KFITs) Rigorous quality assurance Disadvantages: A smaller in-place databank but it is continuously extended Introduction to MSEAdvantages and disadvantages between AE and MSE • AE Model • Advantages: • Larger existing databank • The only model available for rates of corrosion • Disadvantages: • Limitations with respect to composition (30 m with respect to electrolytes, x=0.3 with respect to nonelectrolytes • LLE predictions exclude critical solution points (limited to strongly dissimilar phases)

  16. Introduction to MSE • Overview of species coverage between AE and MSE models. 8000 6000 AE Growing with each build 4000 Components 2000 MSE Build 7.0.54 0 1.0 0.0 Solute Mole Fraction

  17. Structure of the thermodynamic model • Definition of species that may exist in the liquid, vapor, and solid phases • Excess Gibbs energy model for solution nonideality • Calculation of standard-state properties • Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equation for ionic and neutral aqueous species • Standard thermochemistry for solid and gas species • Algorithm for solving phase and chemical equilibria

  18. Outline of the model:Solution nonideality Excess Gibbs energy LR Debye-Hückel theory for long-range electrostatic interactions LC Local composition model (UNIQUAC) for neutral molecule interactions II Ionic interaction term for specific ion-ion and ion- molecule interactions

  19. Outline of the model:Chemical equilibrium calculations For a chemical reaction: At equilibrium with Standard-state chemical potential of i • Infinite-dilution properties • Thermochemical databases for aqueous systems • Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers model for T and P dependence

  20. Outline of the model:Constraints • Activity coefficients are converted to unsymmetrical normalization to work with infinite-dilution properties • Constraining the parameters of the GE model to reproduce the Gibbs energy of transfer Activity coefficient of ion i in solvents R and S in unsymmetrical, mole-fraction based convention

  21. Mixed-solvent electrolyte model:Applicability • Simultaneous representation of multiple properties • Vapor-liquid equilibria • Osmotic coefficient/water activity and activity coefficients • Solid-liquid equilibria • Properties of electrolytes at infinite dilution, such as acid-base dissociation and complexation constants • Properties that reflect ionic equilibria, e.g., solution pH and species distribution • Enthalpy (Hdil or Hmix) • Heat capacity • Density

  22. Validity range • Concentrations from infinite dilution to saturation or fused salt or pure solute limit • Temperatures up to 0.9Tc of mixtures • This translates into 300 C for H2O – dominated systems • For concentrated inorganic systems, substantially higher temperatures can be reached • Solvents: water, various organics or solvent mixtures

  23. Representative applications of the MSE thermodynamic model • Strong acid systems • Simultaneous representation of phase equilibria and speciation • Salt systems • Prediction of properties of multicomponent systems • Organic – salt – water systems • Salt effects on VLE, LLE and SLE • Acid-base equilibria • pH of mixed-solvent systems

  24. VLE for H2SO4 + SO3 + H2O • Phase equilibria are accurately reproduced from 0 C to 500 C

  25. Speciation for H2SO4 + SO3 + H2O: • Predicted speciation in concentrated solutions agrees with spectroscopic data

  26. Partial pressures in the H2SO4 + SO3 + H2O system • Partial pressures of H2SO4, SO3 and H2O are also correctly reproduced Partial pressures of H2SO4

  27. Salt systems:Na – K – Mg – Ca – Cl – NO3 NaNO3 – H2O • Step 1: Binary systems – solubility of solids • The model is valid for systems ranging from dilute solutions to the fused salt limit Mg(NO3)2 – H2O

  28. Step 1: Binary systems – solubility of solids Water activity decreases with salt concentration until the solution becomes saturated with a solid phase Modeling salt systems:Na – K – Mg – Ca – Cl – NO3

  29. Step 2: Ternary systems • Solubility in the system NaNO3 – KNO3 – H2O at various temperatures • Activity of water over saturated NaNO3 – KNO3 solutions at 90 C: Strong depression at the eutectic point

  30. Deliquescence data simultaneously reflect solid solubilities and water activities Step 3: Verification of predictions for multicomponent systems Mixed nitrate systems at 140 C

  31. Electrolyte + organic systems:Examples • Effect of electrolytes on phase equilibria in nonelectrolyte – water systems • Salting out(in) effects • Liquid-liquid equilibria in aqueous systems containing water-soluble polymers and salts • Liquid immiscibility is induced by the presence of a salt

  32. LLE results – salt effect Solubility of benzene in aqueous (NH4)2SO4 and NaCl solutions at 25ºC

  33. Simultaneous representation of thermodynamic properties:NaCl-methanol-water P=1 bar 25°C ---- Salt-free —— Saturated NaCl Solubility VLE: salting-out effect

  34. LLE in aqueous polymer – salt systems • PEG (MW=1000) + NaH2PO4 + H2O at 25 C • PEG (MW=4000) + (NH4)2SO4 + H2O at 25 C

  35. Acid-base and phase equilibria: Treatment of pH in mixed solvents • Classical treatment • pH scale can be defined separately for each, pure or mixed, solvent • pH scales can be converted using the Gibbs energy of transfer of the proton • Such a conversion is inconvenient (availability of Gibbs energy of transfer, extrathermodynamic assumptions) • However, it opens the possibility of a uniform calculation of pH using an activity coefficient model as long as the model accurately reproduces activity coefficients of individual species and the Gibbs energy of transfer

  36. Treatment of pH in mixed-solvents • Uniform treatment of apparent pH • Starting point: Aqueous definition of pH • Conversion to mole fraction scale and solvated proton basis • Activity coefficients are obtained directly from the model • Values can be compared with measurements using glass electrode • Does not require the presence of water – equivalent expressions can be obtained for other solvents

  46. Predictive character of the model • Levels of predictivity • Prediction of the properties of multicomponent systems based on parameters determined from simpler (especially binary) subsystems • Extensively validated for salts and organics • Prediction of certain properties based on parameters determined from other properties • Extensively validated (e.g., speciation or caloric property predictions)

  47. What does it mean for the model to be predictive? MSE (no ternary fits) • Parameters were determined using only binary salt + H2O data • SLE for the ternary system was predicted without making any ternary fits • MSE is clearly superior even in the applicability range of the aqueous model • This can work only when the ternary system does not introduce a chemistry change (e.g., double salts) Aqueous model (no ternary fits)

  48. Predictive character of the model • Levels of predictivity - continued • Prediction of properties without any knowledge of properties of binary systems • Standard-state properties: Correlations to predict the parameters of the HKF equation • Ensures predictivity for dilute solutions • Properties of solids: Correlations based on family analysis • Parameters for nonelectrolyte subsystems • Group contributions: UNIFAC estimation • Quantum chemistry + solvation: CosmoTherm estimation • Also has limited applicability to electrolytes as long as dissociation/chemical equilibria can be independently calculated

  49. Transport properties in the OLI software • Available transport properties: • Diffusivity • Viscosity • Electrical conductivity • OLI was the first to develop transport property models for concentrated, multicomponent aqueous solutions • More recently, the models have been extended to mixed-solvent systems

  50. Modeling diffusivity in electrolyte systems • Limiting diffusivity – • Long-range electrostatic interactions – Relaxation effect: • Short-range interactions – Hard-sphere contribution: • Combination of the two effects: MSA theory: Important in relatively dilute solutions Enskog theory: Significant for concentrated solutions
