Abstract

En 中文
Equations of state using the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT EoS) have found tremendous success in the thermodynamic modeling of ionic liquids (ILs) and mixtures. Traditionally, SAFT EoS parameters are fit to pure component pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) (density) data and vapor pressure data. We have recently combined the PC-SAFT EoS with entropy scaling theory to correlate and predict the viscosity of ILs and IL mixtures. We found that the PC-SAFT EoS parameters for ionic liquids regressed to PVT data can sometimes lead to relatively large deviations in the viscosity correlations, especially at high pressure. Here, we investigate the effect of including viscosity data along with PVT data for the PC-SAFT parameter regression of two series of 1-nalkyl-3-methyl imidazolium ionic liquids ([CnMIm][Tf2N] and [CnMIm][BF4]). From analyzing the Pareto fronts, the inclusion of viscosity data to PVT data for PC-SAFT parameters resulted in only a small loss in accuracy for the density, but with much improved viscosity correlations through entropy scaling. We found that the parameter sets obtained from density and viscosity data regression are less prone to numerical pitfalls, i.e. fictitious SAFT critical points, than the parameter sets obtained from PVT data alone. In addition, the predicted (kij=0) phase equilibrium (VLE) of ionic liquids and mixtures with CO2, CH4, and water were equal to, if not better than the predictions using PVT data alone. Overall, the use of pure PVT and viscosity data in the parameterization of PCSAFT yields a more widely applicable prediction method for both thermodynamic and transport properties.
