Activity Coefficient The activity coefficient is a measure

of the non-ideality of mixing

Estimation/Measurement Activity coefficients in single

component/simple mixtures easy to measure

Activity coefficients in water or octanol can be calculated from solubility given sufficiently sensitive methods

Page 4: Activity Coefficient Estimation Methods

Need for estimation What about complex mixtures? What about dynamic systems with

changing compositions? It becomes more practical to use

estimation methods to approximate in these cases

Page 5: Activity Coefficient Estimation Methods

Estimation Methods Group contribution methods are

most common because they have predictive ability

There are two group contribution methods commonly used for i

om

calculation from solubility parameters UNIFAC calculation

calculated from two componentsRiCii lnlnln

UNIFAC The group contribution components consist of

volume contributor -Rk surface area contribution -Qk interaction parameter between functional groups amk

To calculate interactions, similar sub-groups are assigned to groups and interactions are between these groups

Calculate activity coefficients by summing all contributions and interactions

UNIFAC Methods Interaction parameters are fit from

experimental data This work is still ongoing and many

parameters still not available

Hansen Solubility Parameter This method calculates activity

coefficients from the solubility parameter

Theory of cohesive energy developed by Hildebrand for dispersive systems and extended by Hansen for polar and hydrogen bonding

The Size Effect Term i,omd is a measure of the effect of

differing sizes of i and om on their entropy of mixing

This was derived by Flory and Huggins using statistical thermodynamics

Cohesive Energy (Ecoh) Closely linked to the heat of evaporation It is a measure of a the ability of a liquid

molecule to stay together

linearly across homologous series Additivity of structural sub-groups F = V values compiled for dispersion

and polar components of Hansen later compiled additive

contributions to Eh

calculated? Parameters weighted using

Calculation First, calculate group contributions

for each component in the mixture Calculate “om” parameters by

weighting with mole fraction and molar volume

Calculate parameters for compound of interest

Calculate activity coefficient

Page 21: Activity Coefficient Estimation Methods

Hansen or UNIFAC? UNIFAC more powerful interaction UNIFAC not universal–missing parameters Hansen has certain inconsistencies as

certain parameters have to be culled from different sources. Very sensitive to parameter choice

ib not widely available for many compounds, so estimation may be difficult

Partitioning Modes Mode of SOC-particle interaction depends

on the particle Adsorption Solid particle, no organic liquid

layer (dust, inorganic salts) Absorption Particle either liquid, or has

substantial liquid layer (combustion particles, secondary organic aerosol)

SOCs such as PAHs, and alkanes primarily partition to organic or carbonaceous aerosols rather than to mineral-based aerosols
