The group contribution methods UNIFAC, Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) and the group contribution equation of state PSRK are used world-wide for the synthesis and design of separation processes and a large number of further applications of industrial interest. They are among the most important thermodynamic tools for the daily work of a chemical engineer and were therefore integrated in most of the available commercial simulators (e.g. Aspen Plus, CHEMCAD, Pro/II, HYSIM, ProSim, Dynsim, ROMeo ). * At the moment there are no governmental funds available, which would be required for a thorough revision, extension and further development of these methods. To improve the situation a company consortium was founded at the University of Oldenburg to support the further development of these models. After the retirement of Prof. Dr. Jürgen Gmehling in April 2011, DDBST GmbH took over all rights and obligations of the University of Oldenburg. The revised and extended group interaction parameters will be given only to the sponsors of the UNIFAC project and will not be available via the different process simulators. The direct sponsoring by the companies even includes the possibility to influence the direction of further developments, so that the models will definitely become more and more attractive for the chemical industry.

Fig 3: Current state of the Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) sub-matrix for refrigerants The main objectives of the planned research work are: a) extensive examination of the current parameters using the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB) in connection with graphical representations b) revision of the existing parameters using the currently available data banks c) extension of the parameter tables (UNIFAC, Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund), PSRK) with respect to existing groups d) introduction of new groups ( cyclic thioethers, imidazole, morpholine, pyrrole, acrolein, cycloalkylamines, disulfide, N-formylmorpholine, mercury, vinyl fluoride, poly(ethylene glycol), glycerol, pyrrole, imidazole, pyrazine, thionyl and sulfuryl chloride, urethane, methyl-phenylether, etc.) e) introduction of more flexible groups (e.g. cyclic sulfides, aromatic ethers, nitriles, sulfides, ) f) consideration of proximity and isomeric effects For this research work besides a large data base a large number of systematic experimental investigations are necessary, e.g. to determine the required supporting experimental data for fitting reliable temperature dependent group interaction parameters. Besides data for VLE these are activity coefficients at infinite dilution, azeotropic data, solid liquid equilibrium of eutectic systems covering a large temperature range, and in particular heats of mixing data at high temperatures (90 and 140 o C). Since April 2011 Consortium is under the roof of DDBST GmbH, which is responsible for the update of the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB). In this way, DDBST continues to support more directly the planned research work by supplying the current version of the Dortmund Data Bank, this means all the phase equilibrium information published in literature. At the first sponsor meeting the representatives agreed to provide internal company data exclusively for the planned model development work. At the Chair of Industrial Chemistry at the University of Oldenburg very reliable experimental facilities ( in many cases computer driven ) have been built up, which can be used for the various experimental investigations (VLE, h E, SLE, GLE, azeotropic data,,...). Furthermore a sophisticated software package was developed within the last 29 years, which simplifies the fitting of a large number of group interaction parameters. Although 4

a great part of the required preliminary work for a successful completion of the comprehensive research project has already been performed, a constant preoccupation of Consortium is to obtain more reliable parameters. For this purpose, a new software with an user-friendly interface has been developed five years ago by DDBST. The particular features of this program (fig. 4) allow the enhancing of the flexibility of the models by considering multiple group-group interaction sets in optimization and by taking into consideration a larger spectrum of data. Multiple standard and deviation diagrams allow simple quality judgment and weighting or removal of data sets. The same Data Base Management is enabled for UNIFAC models, PSRK and VTPR.

T [K] he [J/mol] Typical Results A recent development on the Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) model was the introduction of several new flexible main groups. The introduction of the major part of the new groups was scheduled in cooperation with our consortium members, so that the great numbers of components, which can only be treated with the help of the new group interaction parameters, are of major industrial interest. In the Appendix A (Fig. A1 - A12) typical results for the following new Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) main groups are given: - Anhydrides - Sulfones - ACS (Thiophenes) - Chlorofluorohydrocarbons (Refrigerants) - CONR (monoalkyl amides) - Isocyanates - CONR 2 (dialkyl amides) - Lactames (cyclic Amides) - Epoxides - Lactones (cyclic Esters) - Acrolein - Cycloalkylamines -Disulfides - N-Formylmorpholine -Poly(ethylene glycol) - Mercury -Vinyl fluoride - Glycerol -Pyrrole - Imidazole -Pyrazine -Thionyl and Sulfuryl Chloride -Urethane - Methyl-Phenyl-Ether A great proportion of the group interaction parameters were fitted between 1985 and 1993. No SLE data and only few h E data were available. Thus the enlargement of the database during the last eighteen years offers the possibility to revise group interaction parameters to cover a larger pressure, temperature and concentration range. Figure 5 shows an example of different phase equilibria data for systems containing thiophene. The dotted line represents the published parameters. The solid line shows the results of the revision.

On the basis of the increasing number of VLE and data not only gaps in the original UNIFAC matrix were filled but also the new groups (epoxides, anhydrides, carbonates, sulfones, acrolein, pyrrole, glycerol, n- formylmorpholine) were introduced. It is planned to further develop also the original UNIFAC matrix and to introduce the groups which already have been included into the Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) matrix, as original UNIFAC is very important e.g. as a basis for the group contribution equation of state PSRK. In Appendix B (Fig. B1), typical results for the new original UNIFAC epoxy group are given. The current matrix of the original UNIFAC method is shown in Fig. 6. A comparison of the results obtained from original UNIFAC and Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) demonstrates the improvements already obtained for Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund). This is illustrated in Fig.7, where the 6

calculated deviations in vapor phase mole fraction y, temperature T and pressure P are given for 1362 thermodynamically consistent isothermal / isobaric VLE data sets together with the deviations obtained by other g E -models, group contribution models and quantum chemical method. It can be seen from the deviations between the direct fit and the prediction that the error is reduced dramatically for all three criteria when Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) is used instead of UNIFAC. Assuming ideal behavior (Raoult s law) enlarges the errors by a factor of 5 compared to Modified UNIFAC (Dortmund). Fig. 7: Current state of the original UNIFAC matrix UNIQUAC UNIFAC Mod.

Beside phase equilibria equations of state at the time provide also other thermodynamic properties (enthalpies, densities). The group contribution Equation of State PSRK combines the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation with the original UNIFAC model and allows an accurate prediction of phase equilibrium in a wide temperature and pressure range. The range of applicability was extended by introducing 30 gases as new main groups. Fig. 10: Current state of PSRK matrix 8
