Solubility prediction for the nonelectrolyte urea–hydrogen peroxide–water system and thermodynamic solubility product calculation for CO(NH2)2 ⋅ H2O2 using the modified Pitzer model

Abstract The Pitzer interaction model, which has been applied successfully to the thermodynamic simulation of electrolyte solutions and electrolyte–nonelectrolyte solutions, was extended to nonelectrolyte–nonelectrolyte solution system. In the present work, the modified Pitzer model was used for calculation and correlation of the ternary CO(NH 2 ) 2 –H 2 O 2 –H 2 O system at 283.15 K. The value of the Pitzer interaction parameters for the ternary system and the thermodynamic solubility product of CO(NH 2 ) 2 ⋅H 2 O 2 were determined using a least-square optimization procedure with coupling activity coefficient and solubility data. The predicted isothermal solubilities agree well with the result obtained from the experiment. The results indicated that the modified Pitzer model could be successfully used to predict the component solubility of the nonelectrolyte–nonelectrolyte system.
