Salehi School of Chemical Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology Tehran, Iran M.R. Dehghani School of Chemical Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology Tehran, Iran A.R. Fazlali Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Arak University, Arak, Iran Journal Article 2015 07 28 In this work a simplified model based on perturbation theory is presented for prediction of activity coefficient of amino acids and electrolytes in aqueous electrolyte solution. In comparison with previous works, in this model a new hard sphere equation of state has been utilized as a reference term while other interactions such as charge-charge, charge-dipole, dipole-dipole and dipole-induced dipole have been considered as perturbation terms. For simplification, solvent has been considered as dielectric continuum. Finally, aqueous electrolyte solutions containing amino acids have been modeled just using two adjustable parameters. The results have been compared with similar models and it is shown that new hard spheres equation of state shows an improvement in accuracy of the model. https://www.ijche.com/article_10222_3f4bd1f117b18afa131c48de15486652.pdf
