This report presents the findings from a study of the life cycle inventories (LCIs) for petroleum diesel and biodiesel. An LCI is a comprehensive quantification of all the energy and environmental flows associated with a product from “cradle to grave.” It provides information on raw materials extracted from the environment; energy resources consumed; air, water, and solid waste emissions generated.

The development of van der Waals cubic equations of state and their application to the correlation and prediction of phase equilibrium properties is presented and analyzed. The discussion starts with a brief account of the contributions to equation of state development during the years before van der Waals. Then, the original equation proposed in the celebrated thesis of van der Waals in 1873 and its tremendous importance in describing fluid behavior are analyzed. A chronological critical walk through the most important contributions during the first part of the 1900s is made, to arrive at the proposal that I consider to be the most outstanding since van der Waals:  the equation proposed by Redlich and Kwong in 1949. The contributions after Redlich and Kwong to the modern development of equations of state and the most recent equations proposed in the literature are analyzed. The application of cubic equations of state to mixtures and the development of mixing rules is put in a proper perspective, and the ...

Application of gas hydrate formation in separation processes: A review of experimental studies

Vapor-liquid equilibrium data for binary systems containing carbon dioxide: CO2-C2H6, CO2-C3H8, CO2-n-C4H10, CO2-iso-C4H10, CO2-C2H4, CO2-C3H6 and CO2-1-C4H8 were determined by the vapor recirculation method in the low-temperature range (-41.6°C-0°C). The CO2-C2H4 and CO2-C2H6 systems formed minimum-boiling azeotropes. The modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state was used to calculate vapor-liquid equilibria of these systems. It provided fairly good agreement with experiment.

Generalized interaction parameters for the Peng—Robinson equation of state: Carbon dioxide—n-paraffin binary systems

The rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) has been applied to separate the hydrocarbon mixture. The RESS experiments for the naphthalene and phenanthrene mixture using supercritical carbon dioxide have been carried out to study the influence of various RESS conditions on separation as well as on morphology. High pre- and postexpansion temperatures enhanced the naphthalene composition of the precipitate more than the preexpansion solution composition. By diluting the preexpansion mixture with pure CO2 and then increasing the postexpansion temperature, an increase in the size of the particles precipitated from mixtures was found. Increasing continuously the phenanthrene composition of the preexpansion mixture solution, the shape of the crystals changed from flat-sheet (pure naphthalene) to needlelike (pure phenanthrene). Most of the experiments were carried out at the extraction temperature of 308.2 K and at the pressure of 14.0 MPa. The highest naphthalene composition of particles precipitated ...

Application of Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions in the Crystallization Separation

Aqueous solubility (Sw), 1-octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow), and vapor pressure of the nonionic form of 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromo-4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol (tetrabromobisphenol A or TBBP-A) were measured. From this, enthalpies of solution and vaporization were estimated. Furthermore, enthalpy of fusion and melting point were measured to estimate subcooled liquid vapor pressure, the infinite dilution activity coefficient, and Henry's law constant. Since TBBP-A is expected to exit in both ionic and nonionic forms at near neutral pH, pH effects on physicochemical properties were also examined. Because of the ionization of TBBP-A, Sw increased by five orders of magnitude, while Kow decreased by eight orders of magnitude. Furthermore, an analytical model based on mass balance and dissociation of TBBP-A was applied to represent the pH dependence.
