The recently reported UNIversal QUAsiChemical Segment Activity coefficient (UNIQUAC-SAC) model [developed by Haghtalab and Yousefi Seyf Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2015, 54, 8611] provides a practical thermodynamic framework to be used in VLE, LLE, and SLE calculations. The UNIQUAC-SAC model has the advantage of being independent of area (q) and volume (r) structural parameters used in the combinatorial part. While the UNIFAC or UNIFAC-DMD could not apply to the 47% (44 of 94) of the studied molecules because of the undefined groups. Here, the numbers of solvents with identified segment numbers were extended from 82 to 130 with a slight refinement to the previous values. The model parameters... 

The perturbed chain-statistical associating fluid theory equation of state (PC-SAFT EoS) is one of the state-of-the-art thermodynamic models used in the phase equilibrium calculation of associating mixtures, in particular, in the pharmaceutical industry. Accordingly, parametrization of the PC-SAFT EoS for approved solvents reviewed for use in pharmaceutical process design by the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) was done in the present study. First, the PeC-SAFT EoS model parameters for 41 pure solvents were regressed (of 62 solvents). The available high-quality binary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE)...
