ELE - Vapor-Liquid Equilibria of Electrolyte Systems

The ELE data bank contains data for vapor-liquid equilibria of mixtures containing electrolytes as well as osmotic coefficients and mean ionic activity coefficients of the electrolyte species. It's primary focus is to supply data on the effect of electrolyte components on the separation factor of the volatile solvents and the total pressure or boiling point of an electrolyte solution as well as mean ionic activity coefficients for deriving e.g. Pitzer coefficients for the calculation of salt solubilities.

This data file was first delivered in 1995 and since then has grown significantly.

ELE contains 8,457 data sets (104,944 data points) from 1,116 references for 696 components and 1,516 different systems (4,472 binary, 3,790 ternary and 195 higher systems) (Version 2011).

The following plot shows typical data from ELE describing the effect of lithium nitrate (3) on the vapor-liquid equilibrium between methyl acetate (1) and methanol (2) at 1 atm. All data were taken from the DDB.

The plot on the right shows the dependence of the mean ionic activity coefficient for different salts at 25°C in water as function of concentration.

At infinite dilution, the value is solely determined by the Debye-Hückel limiting law and only depends on the number and charges of the cations and anions. This means that the same limiting mean ionic activity coefficient is found for sodium chloride and potassium chloride and that also the values for the 2-1 and 1-2 salts sodium sulfate and calcium chloride are identical.

At higher electrolyte concentrations though, these values change very strongly and are usually modeled using empirical parameters regressed to the experimental data (e.g. Debye-Hückel plus linear, Pitzer, ...).

Both vapor-liquid equilibria and mean ionic activity coefficients are of great importance for the correct description of the phase behavior of electrolyte mixtures. Further important data can be found in DDB-ESLE (salt solubilities) and DDB-EGLE (gas solubilities in electrolyte solutions).
