Prediction of Water Activity of Electrolyte Solutions with Extended UNIQUAC Model
Abstract
In the present study, in order to predict the Water activity of aqueous electrolyte system, 21 cases have been regarded aqueous solution (AClx=1,2;A=Li,H,Na,K,NH4,Cs,Mg,Ca,Ba and Bj=1,2SO4; B=Li,Na,K,NH4,Mg,Mn,Ni,Cu,Zn and NaCl+LaCl3(aq) , NaCl+MgCl (aq) , Na2SO4+MgSO4(aq)). For this study, Extended UNIQUAC Thermodynamic model is desired, that adjustable parameters, are optimized with genetic algorithm. Results Extended UNIQUAC model optimization by genetic algorithms, has produced favorable results; so that the minimum and maximum total system error electrolyte is 0.00017 and 0.05, respectively. For electrolyte system, in this study, temperature 298.15, and the pressure of 1 bar is considered. The maximum concentration of 6 has been studied.
