How should one handle substances for which there is no property data during process development?
Thread Content
What should be done when encountering substances with no property data in a process? For example, what about the binary interaction parameters of substances in electrolytes, or those substances that contain groups not included in the Unfac estimation method?
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth; conduct experiments.
But dealing with material properties is such a time-consuming task; is there any shortcut?
Many of the projects we undertake are only taken on after conducting experiments
I know about experiments. But these experiments are all conducted on a small scale; development and design will certainly take place on a scale that is at least one order of magnitude larger. So what to do in such cases?
I don’t know what you mean by ‘small scale’; in one of the tests we conducted recently, the total cost of the project was only 300,000； If I don’t know the physical properties and no experiments are conducted, as the owner I have no way of trusting you

Chemical engineering is, after all, a discipline based on experiments.
I wonder how the original poster solved it; I’m facing this same problem now
