In this work, a new parameterization for the Statistical Association Fluid Theory for potentials of Variable Range (SAFT-VR) is coupled to the discrete potential theory to represent the thermodynamic properties of several fluids, ranging from molecular liquids to colloidal-like dispersions. In this way, this version of the SAFT-VR approach can be straightforwardly applied to any kind of either simple or complex fluid. In particular, two interaction potentials, namely, the Lennard-Jones and the hard-core attractive Yukawa potentials, are discretized to study the vapor–liquid equilibrium properties of both molecular and complex liquids, respectively. Our results are assessed with Monte Carlo computer simulations and available and accurate theoretical results based on the self-consistent Ornstein–Zernike approximation.
