摘要

In this work, the primitive SAFT equation of state along with three different hard-sphere equations was used to correlate and predict mean ionic activity coefficients of aqueous electrolyte solutions. The mean ionic activity coefficient of aqueous electrolyte solutions was considered as the contribution of hard-sphere and dispersion effects. The Mansoori (M), Wang-Khoshkbarchi-Vera (WKV) and Ghotbi-Vera (GV) hard-sphere equations were applied in correlating the mean ionic activity coefficient of electrolyte solutions. The comparison among above indicated equations was shown. First, vapor pressure and densities of water in the temperature range of 373.15 to 423.15K was regressed by SAFT equation of state. In the restrictive primitive mean spherical model, ions were hard spheres without any chain structure. Neither association effects were considered in this study. Clearly, in common used five SAFT parameters were decreased to three, which were calculated by using the experimental mean ionic activity coefficients of electrolyte solutions. The comparison among three hard-sphere equations of state approved that Ghotbi-Vera hard-sphere model (GV) correlated the experimental data accurately than the others; two hard-sphere models. The mean ionic activity coefficients of some electrolyte solutions were being predicted by taking the advantage of the regressed values surely, in a wide range of molality.
