Abstract

A method of area test based on the Gibbs–Duhem equation and an equation of state (GD/EoS) was used to analyze thermodynamic consistency behavior of systems that do not cover the whole concentration range and have generally been shown to be model-dependent. In this work thermodynamic consistency test of experimental solubility data of gases (CO2, H2S and COS) in some commercial physical solvents (propylene carbonate, sulfolane and N-methylpyrrolidone) with four cubic equations of state have been studied to check the model dependency of consistency results. Equations of states used in this work include Peng–Robinson and Sterejik–Vera with three optional mixing rules and Generic Redlich–Kwong developed by Shiflett and Yokozeki.
