离子液体[C4mim][PF6]与N, N-二甲基甲酰胺二元混合物在298.15 K～318.15 K的密度和粘度

Viscosities and densities for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate （[C4mim][PF6]） and N, N-dimethylformamide （DMF） binary mixtures have been measured at the temperature range from 293.15 K to 318.15 K. It is shown that the viscosities and densities decrease monotonously with temperature and the content of DMF. Various correlation methods including Arrhenius-like equation, Sedclon et al.＇s equation, Redlich-Kister equation with four parameters, and other empirical equations were applied to evaluate these experimental data. A model based on an equation of state Ior estimating the viscosity of mixtures containing ionic liquids were proposed by coupling with the excess Gibbs free energy model of viscosity, which can synchronously calculate the viscosity and the molar volume. The results show that the model gives a deviation of 8.29% for the viscosity, and a deviation of 1.05% for the molar volume when only one temperature-independent adjustable parameter is adopted. The correlation accuracy is further improved when two parameters or one temperature-dependent parameter is used.     

离子液体[BMIM][DBP]+水+甲醇/乙醇三元工质溶液蒸汽压的测量和预测(英文)

The ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutylphosphate ([BMIM][DBP]) was prepared and the vapor pressures of three set of binary solutions H2O(1)/CH3OH(1)/C2H5OH(1) + [BMIM][DBP](2) were measured at different temperature and in the ILs mole fraction range from 0.1 to 0.6 with a static equilibrium apparatus. The measured vapor pressures were correlated with Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model and the average relative deviations (ARD) between experimental and correlated vapor pressures for these binary solutions were 3.19%, 2.42% and 2.95%, respectively. Then, the vapor pressures of two set of ternary solutions H2O(1) + CH3OH(2)/C2H5OH(2) + [BMIM][DBP](3) were measured with an inclined boiling apparatus and further predicted with NRTL activity coefficient model based on the binary interaction parameters coming from fitting the vapor pressures of the binary solutions. The results indicated that the ternary solutions containing [BMIM][DBP] were shown a strong negative deviation from Raoult’s Law when the mole fraction of [BMIM][DBP] was larger than 0.2, which meant that ternary solutions could absorb the refrigerant vapors at the same or below solution temperature. Meanwhile, the average relative deviations between experimental and predicted vapor pressures for ternary solutions were 2.92% and 3.06%, respectively. Consequently, the NRTL active coefficient model used for non-electrolyte solutions was still valid for predicting vapor-liquid equilibrium of binary or ternary solutions containing ILs.     

Insight into the behavior at the hygroscopicity and interface of the hydrophobic imidazolium-based ionic liquids

How to completely remove the water from ionic liquids(ILs) is difficult for researchers because of the hygroscopicity of ILs. In order to study the hygroscopicity of ILs, two kinds of ILs, 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate([Bmim][PF_6]) and 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)([Bmim][NTf_2]) were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Although[Bmim][PF_6] and [Bmim][NTf_2] are hydrophobic, both of the ILs could absorb water molecules from the vapor. In this work, the process of absorbing water from the vapor phase was studied, and the water molecules could disperse into the IL. Aggregation was observed with increasing the water concentration.Although the absorbed water increases obviously, the amount of free water and small cluster in the ILs does not change significantly and always stays at a certain level. The amount of free water and small cluster in [Bmim][PF_6] is more than that in [Bmim][NTf_2], which is consistent with their hydrophobicity. In addition, the liquid-vacuum and liquid–liquid interfaces of the ILs were simulated and analyzed in detail.The number density distribution and angle distribution indicated that [Bmim]+cations arrangement regularly at the IL-vacuum interface. The butyl chain point to the vacuum, while the imidazlium ring is close to the IL phase region and perpendicular to the interface. While at the IL-water interface, the cations and anions are disordered.     

Separation of fuel additives based on mechanism analysis and thermodynamic phase behavior

tert-butanol and ethyl acetate, as fuel additives and oxygenated fuels, can improve fuels quality and reduce exhaust emissions. Therefore, the recovery of these compounds from azeotropic systems is of great significance. Ionic liquids(ILs) are promising green solvents for separating azeotropic systems. In this study, an efficient extraction strategy based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate([Bmim][AC]) is proposed. The mechanism by which ILs enable the separation of binary alcohol-ester azeot...     

单乙醇胺和二乙醇胺甲酸盐离子液体对水、甲醇和乙醇挥发度的影响(英文)

Vapor pressures were measured for six binary systems containing water, ethanol, or methanol with one of the two ionic liquids （ILs） at different component concentrations and temperatures using a quasi-static ebulliometer, with the ILs mono-ethanolammonium formate （[HMEA][HCOO]） and di-ethanolammonium formate （[HDEA][HCOO]）. The vapor pressures of the IL-containing binary systems are well correlated using the NRTL model with an overall average absolute relative deviation （AARD） of 0.0062. The effect of ILs on the vapor pressure depression of sol-vents at 0.050 mole fraction of IL is that [HDEA][HCOO]〉[HMEA][HCOO], and the vapor pressure lowering de-gree follows the order of water〉methanol〉ethanol. Further, the activity coefficients of three solvents （viz. water, ethanol, and methanol） for the binary systems{solvent （1）＋IL （2）}predicted based on the fitted NRTL parameters at T=333.15 K indicate that the two ILs generate a negative deviation from Raoult’s law for water and methanol and a positive deviation for ethanol to a varying degree, change the relative volatility of a solvent. [HMEA][HCOO] may be a promising entrainer to efficiently separate ethanol aqueous solutions by special rectification.

Effects of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria of methanol + dimethyl carbonate azeotropic systems

The separation of methanol(MeOH) and dimethyl carbonate(DMC) is important but difficult due to the formation of an azeotropic mixture. In this work, isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium(VLE) data for the ternary systems containing different imidazolium–based ionic liquids(ILs), i.e. MeOH + DMC + 1-butyl-3-methy-limidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide([Bmim][Tf_2N]), MeOH + DMC + 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide([Emim][Tf_2N]), and MeOH + DMC + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate([Emim][PF6])) were measured at 101.3 kPa. The mole fraction of IL was varied from0.05 to 0.20. The experimental data were correlated with the NRTL and Wilson equations, respectively. The results show that imidazolium-based ILs were beneficial to improve the relative volatility of MeOH to DMC,and [Bmim][Tf_2 N] showed a much more excellent performance on the activity coefficient of MeOH. The interaction energies of system components were calculated using Gaussian program, and the effects of cation and anion on the separation coefficient of the azeotropic system were discussed.     

Conductivities of AlCl3/Ionic Liquid Systems and Their Application in Electrodeposition of Aluminium

Solubilities and conductivities of anhydrous AlCl3 in six kinds of ionic liquids (ILs) were measured. Among the six kinds of ILs [bmim]Cl, [bmim]Br, [bmim]BF4, [bmim]PF6, [emim][EtSO4] and [bmim][HSO4], anhydrous AlCl3 could be dissolved in the first five kinds but was hardly dissolved in [bmim][HSO4]. The results showed that the nominal solubilities of AlCl3 in ILs increased in the order of [bmim][HSO4] < [bmim]PF6 < [emim][EtSO4] < [bmim]BF4 < [bmim]Cl < [bmim]Br. Conductivities of the AlCl3/ILs systems depended apparently on the nominal molar ratio of AlCl3 to ILs. The conductivities of AlCl3/[bmim]Cl, AlCl3/[bmim]Br and AlCl3/[bmim]PF6 systems had a similar tendency as a function of the nominal molar ratio, that is, as the molar ratio was increased, conductivities increased first and then decreased, with the maximum conductivity obtained at approximately 0.9:1, 1.0:1 and 0.5:1, respectively. Conductivities of the AlCl3/[bmim]BF4 exhibited a dentate change and decreased with the molar ratio of AlCl3 to [bmim]BF4 increasing in general. With the increasing of the anhydrous AlCl3 amount in [emim][EtSO4], conductivity of AlCl3/[emim][EtSO4] monotonically decreased. AlCl3/[bmim]Cl system was chosen as the electrolyte for the electrodeposition of Al. Preliminary experimental results showed that dense, adherent and homogeneous Al coatings could be electrodeposited on stainless steel by means of constant potential technique and the surface coverage was quite satisfactory.     

Effect of methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids on vapor–liquid equilibrium behavior of tert-butyl alcohol + water azeotropic mixture at 101.3 kPa

Three ionic liquids(ILs),1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromine([EMIM]Br),1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromine([BMIM]Br),and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromine([HMIM]Br),were used as the solvent for separation of {tert-butyl alcohol(TBA)+ water} azeotrope.Vapor–liquid equilibrium(VLE)data for {TBA + water + IL}ternary systems were measured at 101.3 k Pa.The results indicate that all the three ILs produce an obvious effect on the VLE behavior of {TBA + water} system and eliminate the azeotropy in the whole concentration range.[EMIM]Br is the best solvent for the separation of {TBA + water} system by extractive distillation among the three ILs.The experimental VLE data for the ternary systems are correlated with the NRTL model equation with good correlations.Explanations are given with activity coefficients of water and TBA,and the experimental VLE-temperature data for {TBA or water + IL} binary systems.     

Electrical conductivities for four ternary electrolyte aqueous solutions with one or two ionic liquid components at ambient temperatures and pressure

Thiswork provides amethod to explore the transport property of the electrolyte aqueous solutionswith one or two ionic liquids, especially focus on their electrical conductivity. The conductivities were measured for the ternary systems NaCl–[C₆mim][Cl] (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride)–H₂O, [C₆mim][BF₄]–[C₆mim][Cl]–H₂O, NaNO₃–[C₆mim][BF₄](1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate)–H₂O, and [C₄mim][BF₄] (1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate)–[C₆mim][BF₄]–H₂O, and their binary subsystems NaNO₃–H₂O, NaCl–H₂O, [C₆mim][BF₄]–H₂O, [C₆mim][Cl]–H₂O, and [C₄mim][BF₄]–H₂O, respectively. The conductivities of the ternary systems were also determined using generalized Young's rule and semi-ideal solution theory in terms of the data of their binary solutions. The comparison showed that the two simple equations provide good predictions for conductivity of mixed electrolyte solutions and the mixed ionic liquid solutions based on the conductivity of their binary subsystems.

The surface tension and viscosity of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([bmim][I]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF₄]) were measured over a temperature range of 298. 15 to 323.15 K. It was found that both the viscosity and surface tension decrease with increasing temperature and that the surface tension and viscosity values of [bmim][I] were higher than those of [bmim][BF₄]. Additionally, the solubility of lithium bromide (2)+1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim][Br]) (3) in water (1) was measured at three different mass ratios (w₂/w₃=4 and 7, w₃=0) by using a visual polythermal method. The solubility of the suggested systems was better than that of lithium bromide in water.     

Physical and electrochemical properties of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide,and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate

The density, viscosity, refractive index, heat capacity, heat of dilution, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim][Br]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([bmim][I]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF₄]) were measured at room temperature or over a temperature range of 293.2 to 323.2 K. The density and refractive index values of [bmim][I] appeared to be the highest among three ionic liquids (ILs). However, the experimental viscosity values of [bmim][Br] were higher than those of [bmim][BF₄], while the heat capacities and heats of dilution of [bmim][BF₄] were higher than those of [bmim][Br]. The cyclic voltammogram of [bmim][br] and [bmim][BF₄] indicated electrochemical windows in the stability range from 2.7 V of [bmim][[Br] to 4.7 V of [bmim][BF₄].

Raman Microscopic Study of Japanese Beech (Fagus crenata) As Treated with the Ionic Liquid, 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloride

The chemical changes in various morphological regions of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) upon treatment with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C2mim][Cl]), which preferentially dissolves cellulose, have been investigated by Raman microscopy. The reactivity of polysaccharides and lignin with [C2mim][Cl] differed depending on the types of wood tissues. Chemical components in parenchyma cells showed higher resistance to degradation upon [C2mim][Cl] treatment than wood fiber and vessel. In addition, the lignin structure was partially degraded or modified by [C2mim][Cl] treatment, and its binding mode was complicated; nevertheless, lignin was stable in [C2mim][Cl].     

Critical properties and acentric factors of ionic liquids

Since most ionic liquids (ILs) decompose before reaching their critical state, the experimental measurement of their critical properties are not possible. In this study, the critical temperatures, critical pressures and acentric factors of ten commonly investigated ILs were determined by making an optimum fit of the calculated vapor-liquid equilibrium data of binary mixtures of CO₂+IL to the experimental values found in literature. For this purpose, the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EoS) and the differential evolution optimization method were used. The ILs considered were 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([emim][PF₆]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([emim][Tf₂N]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF₄]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF₆]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([bmim][Tf₂N]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([hmim][BF₄]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([hmim][PF₆]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([hmim][Tf₂N]), 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([omim][BF₄]) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([omim][PF₆]). To evaluate the ability of the determined parameters in predicting the phase behavior of systems other than the systems that were used for parameter optimization, both sets of parameters obtained in this work and that of Valderrama et al. were used to predict bubble-point pressures of CHF₃+[bmim][PF₆] (by using the PR EoS and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. The bubble-point pressures of CO₂+IL systems optimized in this study by the PR EoS were also determined using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state (SRK EoS). In addition, liquid densities of pure ILs were predicted using a generalized correlation proposed by Valderrama and Abu-Shark. In all cases, the various predicted properties of these ten ILs, were in better agreement with the experimental data, using the critical properties and acentric factor obtained in this study, compared to the values suggested by Valderrama et al.     

Solubility of neutral and charged polymers in ionic liquids studied by laser light scattering

The solubility and chain conformation of different types of homopolymers in low viscosity ionic liquids (ILs), 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM][Cl]) at 50 °C and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium formate ([BMIM][COOH]) at 25 °C, were studied by laser light scattering (LLS). For neutral polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol and polysulfonamide, aggregation occurred in all the cases except for polyvinyl alcohol in [BMIM][COOH]. For negative polyelectrolytes, such as DNA and polystyrene sulfonate, single chain conformation was observed. However, the hydrodynamic radius of both polymers was much smaller than that in good solvents, suggesting that the chains were condensed. Cellulose was soluble in [AMIM][Cl], and non-diffusive mode was observed by dynamic light scattering. Zeta potential analysis indicated that cellulose exhibited the feature of polyelectrolyte. The solubility of homopolymers could be qualitatively explained by treating polymer/IL as a ternary system: polymer, cation, and anion. It was the mutual interactions determined the solubility and conformation of polymers in ILs.
