The authors used Pitzer's semiempirical model to correlate the data. The dissociation of the carbon dioxide can be neglected at the concentrations here. The system was treated as containing a non-dissociating gas, G and a completely dissociating electrolyte, MX. A temperature dependent interaction parameter, B°CO2, (NH4)2SO4, and a temperature independent interaction parameter, ΓCO2, (NH4)2SO4, (NH4)2SO4, were derived from the experimental data.For the CO2 + (NH4)2SO4 + H2O system the values are:
B°CO2, (NH4)2SO4 = 0.7790 - 446.7(T/K)-1 + 78900(T/K)-2
which gives values:
T/K
313.15 353.15 393.15 433.15
B°CO2, (NH4)2SO4
0.1571 0.1467 0.1533 0.1683
and ΓCO2, (NH4)2SO4, (NH4)2SO4 = - 0.0083.
