Abstract

A special version of statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT), the so-called hetero-segmented SAFT equation of state, has been extended to calculate the thermodynamic properties of sodium dodecyl sulfate aqueous solutions. The predicted properties were included the vapor pressure as well as second thermodynamic properties, such as speed of sound. Evaluation of the model has been done through comparison of the calculated vapor pressure with experimental data in the range of 298.15–313.15 K. The hetero-SAFT model is found to be able to correctly describe the thermodynamic derivative properties as well as pVT and VLE properties of ionic surfactant solutions.
