description Tools to predict vapor–liquid phase equilibria are indispensable for the conceptualization and design of separation processes. Modified separation of cohesive energy density (MOSCED) is a solubility-parameter-based method parameterized to make accurate predictions of the limiting activity coefficient. As a solubility-parameter-based method, MOSCED can not only make quantitative predictions, but can shed light on the underlying intermolecular interactions. In the present study, we demonstrated the ability of MOSCED to correlate the enthalpy of vaporization and vapor pressure at a specific temperature using multiple linear regression. With this addition, MOSCED is able to predict vapor–liquid phase equilibria in the absence of reference data. This was demonstrated for the prediction of the Henry’s constant and solvation free energy of organic solutes in water, which was found to be superior to mod-UNIFAC. In addition to being able to make phase equilibrium predictions, the ability to correlate the enthalpy of vaporization and vapor pressure offers the opportunity to include additional properties in the regression of the MOSCED parameters. Given this success, we additionally attempted to correlate a wide range of physical properties using a similar expression. While, in some cases, the results were reasonable, they were inferior to the correlations of the enthalpy of vaporization and vapor pressure. Future efforts will be needed to improve the correlations.
