Lecture No. 13 – Property Prediction and Computer Aided Molecular Design
February 21, 2008
Property Prediction 1:2
• Motivation– Experiments are time-consuming and expensive.– How do we identify the components to
investigate?– Components of similar molecular structure have
been found to have similar properties.
• Group Contribution Methods– Predominant means of predicting physical
properties for new components.– Based on UNIFAC group descriptions– Large amounts of experimental property data
has been fitted to obtain the contributions of individual groups.

Computer Aided Molecular Design:
CAMD 1:3
CAMD 3:3
• Application Examples– Water/phenol system: Toluene replacement
– Separation of Cyclohexane and Benzene
– Separation of Acetone and Chloroform
– Refrigerants for heat pump systems
– Heat transfer fluids for heat recovery and storage
– and many others
Aniline Case Study 1:7
• Problem Description– During the production of a pharmaceutical,
aniline is formed as a byproduct. Due to strict product specifications the aniline content of an aqueous solution has to be reduced from 28000 ppm to 2 ppm.
• Conventional Approach– Single stage distillation.– Reduces aniline content to 500 ppm. – Energy usage: 4248.7 MJ– No data is available for the subsequent
downstream processing steps.
Aniline Case Study 2:7
• Objective– Investigate the possibility of using liquid-liquid
extraction as an alternative unit operation by identification of a feasible solvent
• Reported Aniline Solvents– Water, Methanol, Ethanol, Ethyl Acetate, Acetone
Property Aniline Water CAS No. 62–53–3 7732–18–5
Boiling Point (K) 457.15 373.15 Solubility Parameter (MPa½) 24.12 47.81
• Performance of Solvent– Liquid at ambient temperature– Immiscible with water– No azeotropes between solvent & aniline and/or
water– High selectivity with respect to aniline– Minimal solvent loss to water phase– Sufficient difference in boiling points for recovery
• Structural and EH&S Aspects– No phenols, amines, amides or polyfunctional
compounds.– No compounds containing double/triple bonds.– No compounds containing Si, F, Cl, Br, I or S
Aniline Case Study 3:7
Aniline Case Study 4:7
• Results of Solvent Search– No high boiling solvents found
Also, higher and branched alkanes were identified as
candidates
Solvent CAS No. n-Octane 111–65–9
2-Heptanone 110–43–0 3-Heptanone 106–35–4

Solvent Usage Energy Consumption
Oleic Acid Methyl Ester 1:3
• Problem Description– Fatty acid used in a variety of applications, e.g.
textile treatment, rubbers, waxes, and biochemical research
– Reported solvents: Diethyl Ether, Chloroform
• Goal– Identify alternative solvents with better safety
and environmental properties.

Carcinogen
Oleic Acid Methyl Ester 2:3
• Solvent Specification– Liquid at normal (ambient) operating conditions.– Non-aromatic and non-acidic (stability of ester).– Good solvent for Oleic acid methyl ester.
• Constraints– Melting Point (Tm) < 280K
– Boiling Point (Tb) > 340K
– Acyclic compounds containing no Cl, Br, F, N or S– Octanol/Water Partition coefficient (logP) < 2– 15.95 (MPa)½ < δ < 17.95 (MPa)½
Oleic Acid Methyl Ester 3:3
• Database Approach (2 Candidates)– 2-Heptanone– Diethyl Carbitol
• CAMD Approach (1351 Compounds Found)
– Maximum of two functional groups allowed, thus avoiding complex (and expensive) compounds.
– Formic acid 2,3-dimethyl-butyl ester– 3-Ethoxy-2-methyl-butyraldehyde– 2-Ethoxy-3-methyl-butyraldehyde– Calculation time approximately 45 sec on
standard PC.
• Why Design Based on Properties?– Many processes driven by properties NOT
components– Performance objectives often described by properties– Often objectives can not be described by composition– Product/molecular design is based on properties– Insights hidden by not integrating properties directly
• Property Clusters– Extension to existing composition based methods– Reduces dimensionality of problem– Enables visualization of problem– Property estimation in molecular design via GC– Unifying framework for simultaneous solution
Property Based Design
Property clusters are conserved surrogate properties described by property operators, which have linear mixing rules, even if the operators
themselves are nonlinear.

Design Solution
• Property Prediction and CAMD– Can generate data for the simulation software in
order to solve novel problems– Allows for development of environmentally
benign designs and components– Systematic approaches, do not rely on rules of
thumb.– Utilizes process/product knowledge at selection
level.– Expands solution space for solvent
design/selection– Capable of identifying novel compounds not
included in databases and/or literature– Methodology has been proven through numerous
application studies– Powerful tool when used in an integrated
framework
