Abstract
This study investigated the thermodynamic parameters of ionic liquid N-ethyl-N-methylpyrrolidine thiocyanate ([EMPYR][SCN]) by using inverse gas chromatography. The parameters included weight fraction activity coefficients (Ω12∞), Flory–Huggins interaction parameters (χ12∞), and infinite dilution activity coefficients (γ12∞). Based on these, the vapor–liquid equilibrium data of the [EMPYR][SCN]-solvent system at 343.15 K were determined, and the key nonrandom two liquid model parameters were obtained through fitting. The Aspen Plus software was utilized to draw the equilibrium phase diagram of the ternary system ([EMPYR][SCN]-methanol/ethanol/thiophene-benzene), which confirmed its effectiveness in separating three azeotropic mixtures. Comparative analysis indicated that compared with four other ILs, [EMPYR][SCN] exhibited better separation performance in the benzene/thiophene system, highlighting its potential as an efficient solvent for azeotrope separation.
期刊介绍:
An essential criterion for acceptance of research articles in the journal is that they provide new physical insight. Please refer to the New Physical Insights virtual issue on what constitutes new physical insight. Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data or applications of data are, in general, not suitable for publication in JPC B.
