For process development and simulation, the group contribution concept can be successfully applied for the estimation of the missing pure component and mixture properties. This concept has the great advantage that only a limited number of group interaction parameters is required. With the support of a company consortium founded 1996 at the University of Oldenburg, the group contribution model modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) for the prediction of phase equilibria and excess properties has been continuously revised and extended. Within the consortium the number of available group interaction parameters has been doubled. At the same time, the reliability of the results was greatly improved, and the range of applicability was extended to ionic liquids, polyethers, and so forth, and systems for which no experimental data are available, e.g., reactive systems. In this paper the group interaction parameters for the sulfur groups sulfones, sulfides, and disulfides are given. Furthermore, the current status of the consortium developments is discussed.
