Thermodynamic and kinetic study of spinodal phase separation in heptane–phenol system
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The Flory–Huggins theory and phase-field method were used for thermodynamic optimization and kinetic simulation of spinodal phase separation in heptane–phenol binary system in this paper, respectively. The interaction parameter χ 12 was optimized, and the calculated phase diagram was in good agreement with experimental data. The kinetic simulations indicated that the speed of spinodal phase separation is significantly affected by the quench temperature and the resultant morphology is determined by the initial average concentration. The results obtained could shed light on investigating phase separation patterns in immiscible organic systems.
