A quasi-chemical reaction model has been developed to correlate vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the system ammonia (NH3) + water (H2O) + lithium bromide (LiBr) in the temperature range from 303.15 to 473.15 K and at pressures up to 2.0 MPa. This model assumes the formation of ion clusters, i.e., Li* and Br" ions surrounded by ammonia and water molecules. Further, ammonia and water molecules are assumed to form a second species of complexes. The activities of the various components in the liquid phase are modeled by the NRTL equation. The vapor phase, assumed to consist of ammonia and water only, is modeled by the equation of state of Ishikawa, Chung, and Lu.
A static method described in a previous paper has been used to obtain vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the system ammonia (NH3) + water (H2O) + lithium bromide (LiBr) at four temperatures, 303.15, 333.15, 373.15, and 423.15 K, and pressures up to 1.5 MPa. The salt concentration in the liquid phase was chosen in the range 5-60 mass % LiBr in pure water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
