In this study, the performances of Peng-Robinson Equation of State combined with the classical mixing ruleswere evaluated to calculate solid-vapor equilibrium (SVE) and solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) of CH4-CO2system. The evaluation was performed by comparing the calculated values with the literature data. In thecalculation of SVE, the new binary interaction parameter values (kij) of CH4-CO2 mixtures were proposed in thiswork based on the experimental data. The proposed kij obtained in this work might increase the accuracy ofPeng-Robinson Equation of State by reducing average absolute deviation in the temperatures between calculatedvalues and literature data from (2.18% to 0.26%), (0.88% to 0.70%) and (0.61% to 0.44%) at CO2 compositionof 1%, 1.91% and 2.93%, respectively. Significant improvement was found at CO2 composition of 1%. In thecalculation of SLE, new parameters were not proposed since the calculation using the existing (literature) kijgives good results with an average absolute deviation of 0.5%.

The paper presents a detailed algorithm for calculating the vapor-liquid phase equilibrium for multicomponent systems based on the Peng-Robinson equation of state. Various approaches are considered that make it possible to improve the quality of predicting phase equilibrium by the example of eight binary helium systems containing nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, isobutane, and n-butane. The influence of the acentric factor and the binary interaction parameter on the accuracy of the helium systems phase behavior predicting is analyzed. The optimal interaction coefficients for the presented systems are found under the assumption that this parameter does not depend on temperature. The temperature range of applicability of various approaches is determined, which makes it possible to maximize the description of the phase behavior of helium systems.

Optimization of post polymerization processes of polyolefin elastomers (POE) involving solvents is of considerable industrial interest. To this aim, experimental determination and theoretical interpretation of the thermodynamics and mass transport properties of POE-solvent mixtures is relevant. Sorption behavior of n-hexane vapor in a commercial propylene-ethylene elastomer (V8880 VistamaxxTM from ExxonMobil, Machelen, Belgium) is addressed here, determining experimentally the sorption isotherms at temperatures ranging from 115 to 140 °C and pressure values of n-hexane vapor up to 1 atm. Sorption isotherms have been interpreted using a Non Random Lattice Fluid (NRLF) Equation of State model retrieving, from data fitting, the value of the binary interaction parameter for the n-hexane/V8880 system. Both the cases of temperature-independent and of temperature-dependent binary interaction parameter have been considered. Sorption kinetics was also investigated at different pressures and has been interpreted using a Fick’s model determining values of the mutual diffusivity as a function of temperature and of n-hexane/V8880 mixture composition. From these values, n-hexane intra-diffusion coefficient has been calculated interpreting its dependence on mixture concentration and temperature by a semi-empiric model based on free volume arguments.
