A modification of the UNIFAC method is proposed, reducing the set of g
roups to individual atoms. The effects of the environment of each atom
are captured by the conjugation operators in which it participates, b
ased on the ABC property estimation approach. The proposed modified me
thod is applied to the infinite-dilution activity coefficients in bina
ry systems of alkanes, alcohols, amines. and ethers. (C) 1997 Elsevier
