| Abstract | |
In the present work were determined new experimental data of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), of binary mixtures polymer + solvent and copolymer + solvent. The systems that were studied for polymers are: benzene + polystyrene, hexane + polystyrene, benzene + polymethylmethacrylate, benzene + polyethylmethacrylate, hexane + polyvinylchloride and water + polyvinylchloride, with all the systems to a temperature of 30ºC and 40 ºC. The systems with copolymers are: hexane + poly (21% acrylonitryle-co-butadiene), hexane + poly(33% acrylonitryle-co-butadiene), hexane + poli(51% acrylonitryle-co-butadiene), all 60ºC and hexane + poly(23% styrene-co-butadiene), hexane + poly(45% styrene-co-butadiene) and benzene + poly(44% styrene-co-methylmethacrylate) to a temperature of 70ºC. In order to determination of the data vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) was used an experimental equipment that if based on the technique of the gravimetric sorption, that is appropriate for rich solutions in polymers and poor in solvents. To ensure that the equipment was functioning correctly and that the experimental methodology has been dominated data of literature studied by Gupta and Prausnitz (1995) were reproduced and analyzed. Besides, these new experimental data were adjusted with models for the calculation of the coefficient of activity for contribution of groups Elbro-FV and UNIFAC-Zhong. First, parameters of group already existing in literature were used in the thermodynamic modeling. Next, new groups UNIFAC were considered, with monomers presents in polymers and copolymers. With the computational models was possible to adjust to the experimental data with the new groups and to make the calculation between parameters of energy interaction of the groups. When compared the data calculated for the two models and the two sets of groups, of literature and the considered ones in this work, was verified that the new groups contribute for one better adjustment of the experimental data. Besides, was observed that the model of contribution of Elbro-FV group is capable to adjust the experimental data with bigger precision of that the model of Zhong (AU) | |
