CO_2-甲醇和CO_2-乙醇体系的交叉缔合模型

在统计缔合流体理论(statistical associating fluid theory,SAFT)的基础上,将二氧化碳(CO2)处理为似缔合分子,考虑醇羟基之间的自缔合作用,以及CO2分子与醇羟基之间的交叉缔合作用,提出了适用于CO2-醇类体系的交叉缔合模型.应用该模型研究了CO2-甲醇和CO2-乙醇体系从低温低压到高温高压的相平衡性质.p-x和p-ρ相图的计算值与实验值吻合良好.研究表明,考虑CO2与甲醇和乙醇分子之间的交叉缔合对Helmholtz自由能的贡献,可显著改善相平衡性质的计算结果,并避免模型对低温区间中三相平衡和三相点的错误预测.

A cross-association model for CO_2-methanol and CO_2-ethanol mixtures

A cross-association model was proposed for CO2-alcohol mixtures based on the statistical associating fluid theory（SAFT） .CO2 was treated as a pseudo-associating molecule and both the self-association between alcohol hydroxyls and the cross-association between CO2 and alcohol hydroxyls were considered.The equilibrium properties from low temperature-pressure to high temperature-pressure were investigated using this model.The calculated p-x and p-ρdiagrams of CO 2-methanol and CO2-ethanol mixtures agreed with the experimental data.The results showed that when the cross-association was taken into account for Helmholtz free energy,the calculated equilibrium properties could be significantly improved,and the error prediction of the three phase equilibria and triple points in low temperature regions could be avoided.
