Modeling of thermodynamic properties of mixed-solvent
electrolyte
solutions is challenging. Reliable experimental data are essential
for any model development and parametrization. In this work, a benchmark
database for (water + methanol/ethanol + alkali halide) mixed-solvent
electrolyte solutions is presented. The available experimental data
of mean ionic activity coefficient (MIAC) and vapor–liquid
equilibrium (VLE) are comprehensively collected and critically evaluated
for 61 data sets of 23 solutions. The resulting benchmark database
includes 1413 data records from 32 data sets for 13 solutions. The
evaluated data sets of the relevant aqueous electrolyte solutions
are also presented. A consistent E-NRTL model that satisfies the Gibbs–Duhem
equation is utilized for analyzing the data, reconciling the MIAC
and VLE data. Based on the database, recommended parameters are obtained
for the E-NRTL model.
