S. Brandani et V. Brandani, VAPOR-LIQUID-EQUILIBRIUM CALCULATION OF THE SYSTEM WATER-NITRIC ACID OVER THE ENTIRE CONCENTRATION RANGE, Fluid phase equilibria, 114(1-2), 1996, pp. 37-45
The vapor-liquid equilibrium of the system water-nitric acid has been
described. The activity coefficients in the liquid phase are evaluated
according to a new model. This model combines the effect of the long
range forces expressed by a Debye-Huckel contribution on a mole fracti
on basis, with the effect of short range forces expressed by a virial
expansion of the NRTL equation. The proposed model can be used to desc
ribe the vapor-liquid equilibrium of the system water-nitric acid from
20 to 120 degrees C over the entire concentration range.
