Abstract

Numerous studies have been presented for modeling of water containing systems with the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state (EOS), and more than 20 water parameter sets have been published with emphasis on different applications. In this work, eight of these sets and new estimated parameters with different association schemes are systematically compared on describing properties of pure water, the liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of water with hydrocarbons, and the vapor–liquid (VLE) and/or vapor–liquid–liquid equilibria (VLLE) of water with 1-alcohols. An interactive procedure is further proposed for including the LLE of water with hydrocarbons into the pure fluid parameter estimation. The results show that it is possible for PC-SAFT to give an accurate description of the LLE of water and hydrocarbons while retaining satisfactory accuracy for both vapor pressure and saturated liquid density of water. For the aforementioned aqueous systems, the PC-SAFT correlations...
