Measurements of Activity Coefficients at Infinite Dilution in Solvent Mixtures with Thiocyanate-Based Ionic Liquids Using GLC Technique

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution, gamma13(infinity) for 34 solutes--alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, water, thiophene, ethers, and ketones--in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium thiocyanate, [BMPy][SCN], and in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium thiocyanate, [BMPYR][SCN], were determined by gas-liquid chromatography at the temperature range from 298.15 to 368.15 K. The partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution values, DeltaH1E,infinity, were calculated from the experimental gamma13(infinity) values obtained over the temperature range. The selectivities for the n-heptane/benzene, cyclohexane/benzene, and n-heptane/thiophene separation problems were calculated from the gamma13(infinity). Obtained values were compared to the literature values for the other ionic liquids, NMP, and sulfolane.

Density and Viscosity of Binary Mixtures of Thiocyanate Ionic Liquids + Water as a Function of Temperature

Densities and viscosities have been determined for binary mixtures of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate [BMIM][SCN], or 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium thiocyanate [BMPy][SCN], or 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium thiocyanate [BMPYR][SCN], or 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium thiocyanate [BMPIP][SCN] with water over wide range of temperatures (298.15–348.15) K and ambient pressure. The thermal properties of [BMPy][SCN], i.e. glass transition temperature and the heat capacity at glass transition, have been measured using a differential scanning microcalorimetry, DSC. The decomposition of [BMPy][SCN] was detected. The density and viscosity correlations for these systems have been made using an empirical second-order polynomial and by the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann equation, respectively. The concentration dependences have been described by polynomials. The excess molar volumes and deviations in viscosity have been calculated from the experimental values and were correlated by Redlich–Kister polynomial expansions. The variations of these parameters, with compositions of the mixtures and temperature, have been discussed in terms of molecular interactions. A qualitative analysis of the trend of properties with composition and temperature was performed. Further, the excess partial molar volumes,

, were calculated and discussed. The isobaric expansivities (coefficient of thermal expansion), α, and the excess isobaric expansivities, αE, were determined for four ILs and their mixtures with water. The results indicate that the interactions of thiocyanate ILs with water is not as strong as with alcohols, which is shown by the positive/slightly negative excess molar volumes in these binary systems.

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution measurements for organic solutes and water in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetracyanoborate

The surface tensions of pure ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([BMIM][SCN]), and binary mixtures of [BMIM][SCN] with alcohols (1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol) have been measured at atmospheric pressure at five temperatures in the range from 298.15 to 328.15 K. These measurements have been provided to complete information of the influence of temperature on surface tension for the selected ionic liquid, which was chosen as a possible new entrainer in extraction processes. The surface thermodynamic functions such as surface entropy and enthalpy have been derived from the temperature dependence of the surface tension values, as well as the critical temperature, parachor, and speed of sound for pure ionic liquid. The investigations include the effect of the alkyl chain length of an alcohol and polarity of a solvent on the surface tension.

Measurements of activity coefficients at infinite dilution of organic compounds and water in isoquinolinium-based ionic liquid [C8iQuin][NTf2] using GLC

In the present work the excess enthalpies of butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide, [N1114][NTf2], with 1,2-propanediol, or 1,2-butanediol, or 2,3-butanediol have been measured at T = 298.15 K. Additionally, the density, ρ, and dynamic viscosity, η, for binary solutions containing ionic liquids (ILs) and alkanedioles, {butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide, [N1114][NTf2], + 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol} and {(2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium bis(trifluoro-methylsulfonyl)imide, [N1112OH][NTf2], + 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,5-pentanediol}, at wide temperature and composition ranges at ambient pressure have been investigated. From experimental values of the density, ρ, and dynamic viscosity, η, the excess molar volumes, V(E), and dynamic viscosity deviations, Δη, were calculated and correlated using the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The temperature dependence of density and viscosity for the tested binary systems was described by an empirical second-order polynomial and by the Vogel-Fucher-Tammann equation, respectively. The variation of density and viscosity as a function of composition has been described by the polynomial correlations. Comparison of the experimental results for the binary mixtures tested in this work allows us to determine the influence of alkanediol carbon chain length, the position of the hydroxyl group in the alcohol, and the influence of the structure of the cation of the ionic liquid on the presented properties.

Phase behaviour and physico-chemical properties of the binary systems {1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate, or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate + water, or + an alcohol}

Liquid-liquid phase equilibria (LLE) of binary mixtures containing a room-temperature ionic liquid N-hexylisoquinolinium thiocyanate, [HiQuin][SCN] with an aliphatic hydrocarbon (n-hexane, n-heptane), aromatic hydrocarbon (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene), cyclohexane, thiophene, water, and 1-alcohol (1-ethanol, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol) have been determined using a dynamic method from room temperature to the boiling-point of the solvent at ambient pressure. N-hexylisoquinolinium thiocyanate, [HiQuin][SCN] has been synthesized from N-hexyl-isoquinolinium bromide as a substrate. Specific basic characterization of the new compound including NMR spectra, elementary analysis, and water content have been done. The density and viscosity of pure ionic liquid were determined over a wide temperature range from 298.15 to 348.15 K. The mutual immiscibility with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) for the binary systems {IL + aliphatic hydrocarbon, cyclohexane, or water} was detected. In the systems of {IL + aromatic hydrocarbon or thiophene} an immiscibility gap with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) was observed. Complete miscibility in the liquid phase, over a whole range of ionic liquid mole fraction, was observed for the binary mixtures containing IL and an 1-alcohol. For the tested binary systems with immiscibility gap {IL + aliphatic hydrocarbon, aromatic hydrocarbon, cyclohexane, thiophene, or water}, the parameters of the LLE correlation have been derived using the NRTL equation. The basic thermal properties of the pure IL, that is, the glass-transition temperature as well as the heat capacity at the glass-transition temperature, have been measured using a differential scanning microcalorimetry technique (DSC). Decomposition of the IL was detected by simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) experiments.

Density and Viscosity of Binary Mixtures of {1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Thiocyanate + 1-Heptanol, 1-Octanol, 1-Nonanol, or 1-Decanol}

This study assessed the effect of ionic liquids (ILs) on extraction of 2-phenylethanol (PEA) from aqueous phase. It consists the synthesis of four new ILs, their physicochemical properties, and experimental solubility measurements in water as well as liquid-liquid phase equilibrium in ternary systems. ILs are an important new media for imaging and sensing applications because of their solvation property, thermal stability, and negligible vapor pressure. However, complex procedures and nonmiscibility with water are often required in PEA extraction. Herein, a facile and general strategy using four ILs as extraction media including the synthesis of new bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-based ILs, 1-hexyl-methylmorpholinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, [HMMOR][FSI], N-octylisoquinolinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, [OiQuin][FSI], 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, [BMPYR][FSI], and N-triethyl-N-octylammonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, [N2228][FSI], were investigated. The thermal properties, density, viscosity, and surface tension of new ILs were measured. Calorimetric measurements (DSC) were used to determine the melting point and the enthalpy of melting as well as the glass transition temperature and heat capacity at glass transition of the ILs. The phase equilibrium in binary systems (IL + PEA, or water) and in ternary systems {IL (1) + PEA (2) + water (3)} at temperature T = 308.15 K and ambient pressure are reported. All systems present liquid-liquid equilibrium with the upper critical solution temperature (UCST). All ILs revealed complete miscibility with PEA. In all ternary systems immiscibility gap was observed, which classified measured systems as Treybals type II. The two partially miscible binaries (IL + water) and (PEA + water) exist in these systems. The discussion contains the specific selectivity and the solute distribution ratio of separation for the used ILs. The commonly used NRTL model was used for the correlation of the experimental binary and ternary systems with acceptable root-mean-square deviation. The prediction of binary and ternary compositions was provided with acceptable deviations using COSMO RS. The data of ternary LLE show the possible use of [HMMOR][FSI] as a good entrainer for the separation of PEA from water using solvent extraction.
