Vapor-liquid equilibrium correlations for systems containing amines using a lattice fluid equation of state with hydrogen bonding

The nonrandom lattice equation of state with hydrogen bonding (NLF-HB EOS) was examined for the correlation of vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for binary amine and hydrocarbon mixture at various temperatures. For these mixtures, the consideration of hydrogen bondings in the lattice equation of state clearly improves the prediction for VLE. The amines were divided into four groups due to the different strength of the hydrogen bonding. For all groups, different hydrogen bonding parameters were obtained and evaluated. The effects of varying hydrogen bonding energies for NLF-HB EOS are discussed. For systems containing lower amines, the NLF-HB EOS showed excellent agreement with the experimental data. For the correlation of systems containing tertiary amine molecules, binary interaction parameter had to be involved instead of hydrogen bonding parameters.
