A comprehensive
thermodynamic model was elaborated for lead nitrate
aqueous solution using the Pitzer framework. The evaluation of the
ion interaction parameters for the Pitzer model was carried out using
the osmotic coefficient of lead nitrate aqueous solutions collected
from the open literature at 298.15 K and also saturated vapor pressure
from 283.15 to 373.15 K. A temperature dependency form of Pitzer parameters
was selected after several tests of different Pitzer parameter sets.
The chosen set of parameters was able to cover wider temperature ranges
and consequently calculate system properties from dilution to saturation
in the temperature range of 273.15–373.15 K. An equation for
the solubility product for lead nitrate was also proposed, leading
to the prediction of solubility data for this system. The temperature
dependency of the Pitzer model shows a satisfactory behavior, giving
the possibility of using the model to predict the thermodynamic properties.
The extrapolation capacity of the model was also tested at temperature
above 373.15 K.
