Modeling of Volumetric Properties of Organic Mixtures Based on Molecular Interactions

Mixing effects for thousands of compounds and their mixtures used in the process industry are rather difficult to be known, hence knowledge of thermodynamic properties such as densities, as well as excess molar volumes, VE, of organic mixtures at various temperatures is of great importance. Selection of systems for analysis should be based on molecular structure of the individual components, as well as their industrial and ecological significance. Mixing of the compounds with different and complex molecular structure leads to various intermolecular interactions, resulting in non-ideal behaviour of mixtures. Therefore, knowledge of volumetric properties of individual components and their mixtures helps in understanding the complex structure of liquids.
