Abstract
This study investigates the vapor-liquid equilibrium behavior of binary mixtures comprising tri-substituted imidazolium ionic liquids with either ethanol or water, combining experimental analysis with molecular-level insights. The ionic liquids used in this research are 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide ([C2MMIm][Br]) and 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride ([C2MMIm][Cl]). The investigation focuses on the effects of temperature, the type of ionic liquid, and the amount of ionic liquid added on the vapor pressure of these binary systems. The experimental data are fitted using the NRTL, Electrolyte NRTL and Wilson models to determine the binary interaction parameters. Furthermore, this study evaluates the influence of different ionic liquids on the vapor pressure of the binary systems to assess the strength of intermolecular interactions between the ionic liquids and ethanol or water. Molecular-level analyses, including surface charge density, dipole moment, and excess enthalpy, are conducted using the COSMO-RS model to explore the interactions between the ionic liquids and solvents, thereby providing theoretical insights into the phase equilibrium behavior. These investigations offer fundamental data essential for the engineering design and large-scale application of ionic liquid extractive distillation processes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics exists primarily for dissemination of significant new knowledge in experimental equilibrium thermodynamics and transport properties of chemical systems. The defining attributes of The Journal are the quality and relevance of the papers published.
The Journal publishes work relating to gases, liquids, solids, polymers, mixtures, solutions and interfaces. Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates, among others, will also be considered provided these are well characterized and reproducible where possible. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.
Authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results. Articles can contain modelling sections providing representations of data or molecular insights into the properties or transformations studied. Theoretical papers on chemical thermodynamics using molecular theory or modelling are also considered.
The Journal welcomes review articles in the field of chemical thermodynamics but prospective authors should first consult one of the Editors concerning the suitability of the proposed review.
Contributions of a routine nature or reporting on uncharacterised materials are not accepted.
