Chap. 6 Multiphase Systems
All chemical processes involve multiphase operations:
- Phase-change operations: freezing, melting, evaporation, condensation
- Separation and purification processes: leaching, absorption, distillation,
extraction, adsorption, crystallization, …
(Examples)
1. Brewing a cup of coffee - leaching(침출)
2. Removal of sulfur dioxide from a gas stream - absorption(흡수)
S SO2 in the air SO3 H2SO4(acid rain)
3. Recovery of methanol from an aqueous solution - distillation
4. Separation of paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons - liquid extraction(추출)
5. Separation of an isomeric mixture - adsorption(흡착), crystallization
-Molecular sieve
6. Concentrate O2 for breathing –impaired patients - adsorption
7. Obtain fresh water from seawater-evaporation, reverse osmosis
Driving force in the separation processes concentration difference

6.1 SINGLE –COMPONENT PHASE EQUILIBRIUM
6.1a Phase Diagram
A phase diagram of a pure substance is a plot of one system variable
against another ( mostly PT diagram ) that shows the conditions at which
the substance exists as a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

6.1b Estimation of Vapor Pressure
-The volatility of a species: the degree to which the species tends to transfer
from the liquid (or solid) state to the vapor state
-The vapor pressure of a species: a measure of its volatility
-Often vapor pressure data are not available at temperatures of interest.
- Measure the vapor pressure at the desired temperature
- Estimate the vapor pressure using an empirical correlation
Clapeyron equation: relationship between the vapor pressure of a pure
substance ( *p ) and the absolute temperature (T )

6.2 THE GIBBS PHASE RULE
Extensive variable(크기변수): depend on the system size(mass, volume, …)
Intensive variable(세기변수): temperature, pressure, density, …
degree of freedom(자유도, DF) : the number of intensive variables that can be
specified for a system at equilibrium.
Gibbs phase rule
cDF 2 , where : number of phase
c : number of species
Ex. 6.2-1 The Gibbs Phase Rule
Josiah Willard Gibbs (February 11, 1839 – April 28, 1903): an American
theoretical physicist, chemist, and mathematician. He devised much of the
theoretical foundation for chemical thermodynamics as well as physical
chemistry. As a mathematician, he invented vector analysis (independently of
Oliver Heaviside). Yale University awarded Gibbs the first American Ph.D. in
engineering in 1863, and he spent his entire career at Yale.

6.3 GAS-LIQUID SYSTEMS: ONE CONDENSABLE COMPONENT
Saturation: the gas phase contains all the vapor of a condensable species it
can hold at the system temperature and pressure.
In an air-water system: humidity

Superheated vapor: a vapor present in a gas in less than its saturation

Dew point: if a gas containing a single superheated vapor is cooled at constant
pressure, the temperature at which the vapor becomes saturated:

Degree of superheat of the gas: the difference between the temperature and

Raoult’s law: )(* TpxPyp AAAA : Generally valid when Ax is close to 1.
Henry’s law: )(THxPyp AAAA : )(TH A is the Henry’s constant. Generally
valid when Ax is close to 0 provide that A does not dissociate, ionize, or react in
the liquid phase.

bubble point: the temperature at which first bubble forms when a liquid is
heated slowly at constant pressure.
dew point: the temperature at which the first liquid droplet forms when a vapor
is cooled slowly at constant pressure.
Suppose an Ideal solution follows Raoult’s law and contains species A, B, C,
… If the mixture is heated at constant pressure P to its bubble-point temp.,
bpT , the further addition of a slight amount of heat will lead to the formation of a
vapor phase. The partial pressures of the components are given by Raoult’s law.

a heated surface and escape from the liquid.

6.5 SOLUTIONS OF SOLIDS IN LIQUIDS
6.5a Solubility and Saturation
Solubility of a solid in a liquid: the maximum amount of that substance which
can be dissolved in a specified amount of the liquid at equilibrium.
In general, g solute dissolved/100g solvent.
Saturated solution: A solution
that contains as much of a
dissolved species as it can at
equilibrium
Supersaturation: difference
between actual and equilibrium
concentrations.

6.5b Solid Solubilities and Hydrate Salts
Polymorphism ( 다형(多形), 동질이형(同質異形), 동질다상(同質多像) )
- Ability of any element or compound to crystallize into at least two different
crystalline structures, but they should be identical in the liquid or gaseous
state.
- The different structures are called polymorphs, polymorphic modifications.
- If the material is an element, polymorphs are called allotropes.
- Differences in morphological appearance do not necessary reflect
polymorphism.
-Molecular conformation and packing caused by various intermolecular
forces, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, interactions with solvents and
additives, etc..
-Which polymorphic form of a compound is formed depends on the
preparation and crystallization conditions: method of synthesis,
temperature, pressure, solvent, cooling and heating rate, seed crystals,
etc.

6.5c Colligative Solution Properties
Colligative properties(결합특성, 총괄성): properties of a solution that depend
on the number of solute particles present but not on the chemical properties of
the solute: vapor pressure, freezing point, boiling point, osmotic pressure
Consider a solution in which the solute mole fraction is x and assume that the
solute is nonvolatile, nonreactive, and nondissociative and Raoult’s law
holds.
By Raoult’s law, effective solvent vapor pressure: ** )1( sses pxpp
Vapor pressure lowering: ****** )1()( sssesss xppxpppp
The lowing of solvent vapor pressure has two important consequences. The
solvent in a solution at a given pressure boils at a higher temperature and
freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent at the same pressure.

6.7 ADSORPTION ON SOLID SURFACES
ADSORPTION: The surface of a solid represents a discontinuity of its
structure. The forces acting at the surface are unsaturated. Hence, when
the solid is exposed to a gas, the gas molecules will form bonds with it
and become attached. ADSORBENT /ADSORBATE
