(Solid + liquid) equilibria predictions of ionic liquid containing systems using COSMO-RS

(Solid + liquid) equilibria (SLE) prediction are an important phase equilibria property for ionic liquid (IL) mixtures especially when the IL exists as a solid. In this work, the SLE for the binary systems of (IL + thiophene) consisting of the ILs: n-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tosylate [BM₄Py][TOS], n-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate [BM₃Py][TOS], n-hexyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate [HM₃Py][TOS], and 1,4-dimethylpyridinium tosylate [M_1,4Py][TOS] are predicted using the quantum chemical based COSMO-RS (COnductor like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents) model. Initially, benchmarking studies are performed on binary mixtures which are known beforehand. The values of the predicted solubility are then compared with the experimental results by calculating the root mean square error (RMSE). The SLE predictions of the solubility of pyrene and dibenzothiophene in five different solvents were carried out giving an average RMSE of 4%. Further the applicability of COSMO-RS to binary systems consisting of (ionic liquid + alcohol) mixtures and (ionic liquid + hydrocarbons) are predicted. The ionic liquids concerned are n-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate [BM₃Py][TOS] while the alcohols and hydrocarbons are 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol, and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene respectively. The experimental data for the ionic liquid [BM₄Py][TOS] with thiophene gave the smallest deviation of 10.2%. The overall RMSE for IL–thiophene, IL–alcohol, and IL–hydrocarbons were 15%, 17.2% and 12.9% respectively. Thus the predicted solubility values were found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental values.     

Phase equilibria study of the binary systems (N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate ionic liquid + an alcohol)

Isothermal (vapour + liquid) equilibrium data, (VLE) have been measured by an ebulliometric method for the binary mixtures of ionic liquid (IL) {N-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tosylate (p-toluenesulfonate) [BMPy][TOS] + ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol} at T = 373.15 K over the pressure range from p = 0 kPa to p = 110 kPa. (Solid + liquid) phase equilibria (SLE) for the binary systems: ionic liquid (IL) {N-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tosylate (p-toluenesulfonate) [BMPy][TOS] + ethanol and 1-propanol} have been determined at ambient pressure. A dynamic method was used over a broad range of mole fractions and temperatures from (320 to 390) K. For the binary systems containing alcohol, it was noticed that with increasing chain length of alcohol vapour pressure of the mixture and the solubility of the IL decreases. Well-known Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC equations have been used to correlate simultaneously the experimental VLE and SLE data sets with the same parameters. The excess molar Gibbs free energy, G^E function in general was negative in all systems at high temperature (VLE) and positive at low temperatures (SLE).     

Phase equilibrium study of the binary systems (N-hexyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate ionic liquid + water,or organic solvent)

The (solid + liquid) phase equilibrium (SLE) and (liquid + liquid) phase equilibrium (LLE) for the binary systems ionic liquid (IL) N-hexyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate (p-toluenesulfonate), {([HM³Py][TOS] + water, or an alcohol (1-butanol, or 1-hexanol, or 1-octanol, or 1-decanol), or an aromatic hydrocarbon (benzene, toluene, or ethylbenzene, or propylbenzene), or an alkane (n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane)} have been determined at ambient pressure using a dynamic method. Simple eutectic systems with complete miscibility in the liquid phase were observed for the systems involving water and alcohols. The phase equilibrium diagrams of IL and aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons exhibit eutectic systems with immiscibility in the liquid phase with an upper critical solution temperature as for most of the ILs. The correlation of the experimental data has been carried out using the UNIQUAC, Wilson and the non-random two liquid (NRTL) correlation equations. The results reported here have been compared with analogous phase diagrams reported by our group previously for systems containing the tosylate-based ILs.     

Ethanol extraction from its azeotropic mixture with hexane employing different ionic liquids as solvents

In this work, the ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [EMim][NTf₂], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [BMim][NTf₂], 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [BMpy][NTf₂], 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [BMpy][TfO], have been investigated for their use as solvents in extraction processes for the ethanol removal from its azeotropic mixture with hexane. Therefore, the experimental determination of the liquid + liquid equilibrium for the ternary systems {hexane (1) + ethanol (2) + [EMim][NTf₂] (3)}, {hexane (1) + ethanol (2) + [BMim][NTf₂] (3)}, {hexane (1) + ethanol (2) + [BMpy][NTf₂] (3)} and {hexane (1) + ethanol (2) + [BMpy][TfO] (3)} was carried out at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Classical parameters such as selectivity and solute distribution ratio, derived from the tie-line data, were calculated and afterwards, the structural influence of the ionic liquids on the extraction process was analyzed. Finally, the experimental LLE data were correlated by means of the NRTL and UNIQUAC models.     

(Liquid + liquid) extraction of methanol from alkanes using dialkylphosphate-based ionic liquids as solvents

In this work, the feasibility of ionic liquids (ILs), 1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([MMIM][DMP]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([EMIM][DEP]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutylphosphate ([BMIM][DBP]), as solvents for the extraction of methanol from its mixtures with hexane and heptane was analyzed. The knowledge of (liquid + liquid) equilibria (LLE) of these mixtures is necessary for the design of the extraction separation process. Hence, the LLE data for the ternary systems, {methanol + hexane + ([MMIM][DMP], or [EMIM][DEP], or [BMIM][DBP])}, and {methanol + heptane + ([MMIM][DMP], or [EMIM][DEP], or [BMIM][DBP])}, were measured at T = 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The experimental results were correlated with the thermodynamic nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model. The solute distribution ratios of methanol and methanol/alkane selectivities, derived from the experimental LLE data, were calculated and analyzed to evaluate the capability of the studied ILs to accomplish the separation target. Meanwhile, these capabilities were also compared with that of other ILs obtained from the literature.     

Experiments and model for the surface tension of (MDEA + [Bmim][BF4]) and (MDEA + [Bmim][Br]) aqueous solutions

The surface tension (γ) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF₄]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Bmim][Br]), (N-methyldiethanolamine(MDEA) + [Bmim][BF₄]) and (MDEA + [Bmim][Br]) aqueous solutions were measured by using the BZY-1 surface tension meter. The temperature ranged from (293.2 to 323.2) K. The mass fraction of MDEA ranged from 0.35 to 0.45. A thermodynamic equation was proposed to model the surface tension of (MDEA + ionic liquids) (ILS) aqueous solutions and the calculated results agreed well with the experiments. The effects of temperature, mass fractions of MDEA and ILS on the surface tension were demonstrated on the basis of experiments and calculations.     

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for ethanol–water system containing different ionic liquids at atmospheric pressure

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for ethanol–water systems containing ionic liquids (ILs) 1-methyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([MMIM][DMP]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([EMIM][DEP]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIM][Br]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF₆]) at atmospheric pressure (101.32 kPa) were measured with a circulation still. The results showed that the VLE of ethanol–water systems in the presence of different ILs was obviously different from that of the IL-free system. All ILs studied showed a salting-out effect, which gave rise to a change of the relative volatility of ethanol, and even to an elimination of the azeotropic point. It was found that the salting-out effect followed the order of [BMIM][Cl] > [BMIM][Br] > [BMIM][PF₆] and [MMIM][DMP] > [EMIM][DEP], which was ascribed to the preferential solvation ability of the ions resulting from the dissociation of the IL.     

Prospects for a widely applicable reference potential scale in ionic liquids based on ideal reversible reduction of the cobaltocenium cation

Oxidation of ferrocene, Fe(cp)₂ or reduction of the cobaltocenium cation, [Co(cp)₂]⁺ represent reversible processes that are widely used to provide a voltammetric potential reference scale. However, the [Fe(cp)₂]^0/+ process has been reported to exhibit complexities which may restrict its usefulness for this purpose in ionic liquids. In this study, the reduction of [Co(cp)₂]⁺ in the ionic liquids, [bmpyr][Ntf₂], [emim][Ntf₂], and [bmim][PF₆] (bmpyr = 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium, emim = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, Ntf₂ = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide) is reported at macro, micro, and rotating disk electrodes. Reversible behaviour, after allowance for ohmic drop, and linear current–concentration relationships are attained over wide concentration ranges for all electrode configurations. Results support the use of the [Co(cp)₂]^+/0 process for reference potential purposes, with non-idealities of the kind reported for ferrocene not being detected.     

Use of selective ionic liquids and ionic liquid/salt mixtures as entrainer in a (vapor + liquid) system to separate n-heptane from toluene

During the last years, a large number of studies have evaluated the ability of ionic liquids (ILs) to separate aromatic from aliphatic hydrocarbons by liquid extraction. Nevertheless, in order to design a global process, a post-extraction step based on the aromatic recovery from the extract stream and the regeneration of the IL is required. Taking into account the negligible vapor pressure of the ILs, the use of separation units based on the difference of volatility among the components of the extract could be an appropriate way. However, that requires additional (vapor + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) data, which are scarce today. In this work, the isothermal VLE data for {n-heptane + toluene + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([EMim][SCN])} and {n-heptane + toluene + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([BMim][SCN])} mixtures were experimentally measured at T = (323.2, 343.2 and 363.2) K over the whole composition range within the rich-IL miscibility region. For that, a static headspace gas chromatograph (HS-GC) was used. In addition, the non-random two liquids (NRTL) thermodynamic model was satisfactory applied to correlate the experimental VLE data.Finally, the effect of thiocyanate-based inorganic salts (AgSCN, Co(SCN)₂ and CuSCN) on the phase behavior of the above mentioned mixtures were also analyzed through the experimental determination of the isothermal VLE of the pseudo-ternary systems {n-heptane + toluene + [EMim][SCN]/salt mixture}.The obtained results show that the use of pure thiocyanate-based ILs as entrainer increases the n-heptane relative volatility from toluene whereas the addition of inorganic salts has not led to an improvement of these results.     

Liquid–liquid miscibility and volumetric properties of aqueous solutions of ionic liquids as a function of temperature

The volumetric properties of seven {water + ionic liquid} binary mixtures have been studied as a function of temperature from (293 to 343) K. The phase behaviour of the systems was first investigated using a nephelometric method and excess molar volumes were calculated from densities measured using an Anton Paar densimeter and fitted using a Redlich–Kister type equation. Two ionic liquids fully miscible with water (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C₁C₄Im][BF₄]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ([C₁C₂Im][EtSO₄])) and five ionic liquids only partially miscible with water (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C₁C₂Im][NTf₂]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C₁C₄Im][NTf₂]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C₁C₄Im][PF₆]), 1-butyl-3-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C₁C₄Pyrro][NTf₂]), and butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([N₄₁₁₁][NTf₂])) were chosen. Small excess volumes (less than 0.5 cm³ · mol^?1 at 298 K) are obtained compared with the molar volumes of the pure components (less than 0.3% of the molar volume of the pure ionic liquid). For all the considered systems, except for {[C₁C₂Im][EtSO₄] + water}, positive excess molar volumes were calculated. Finally, an increase of the non-ideality character is observed for all the systems as temperature increases.     

Volumetric properties,viscosities and refractive indices of binary liquid mixtures of tetrafluoroborate-based ionic liquids with methanol at several temperatures

Densities, speeds of sound, viscosities and refractive indices of two binary systems 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [bmim][BF₄] + methanol and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [emim][BF₄] + methanol, as well as of all pure components, have been measured covering the whole range of compositions at T = (278.15 to 318.15) K and p = 101 kPa. From this data, excess molar volumes, excess isentropic compressibilities, viscosity deviations and refractive index deviations were calculated and fitted to extended versions of the Redlich–Kister equation. Estimated coefficients of these equations taking into account the dependence on composition and temperature simultaneously were also presented.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for the ternary mixtures (alkane + toluene + ionic liquid) at T = 298.15 K: Influence of the anion on the phase equilibria

(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium data for the ionic liquids 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [BMpyr][NTf₂], and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [BMpyr][TFO], with toluene, and heptane or cyclohexane were determined at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. In order to check if these ILs can be used as potential solvents for the extraction of toluene from aliphatic compounds, the ability of the ILs as solvents was evaluated in terms of selectivity and solute distribution ratio. The experimental data were correlated accurately with the Non Random Two-Liquid model.     

Synthesis,physical, and thermodynamic properties of 1-alkyl-cyanopyridinium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide ionic liquids

Synthesis of new ionic liquids (ILs) viz. 1-butyl-3-cyanopyridinium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [BCN³Py][NTf₂], 1-hexyl-3-cyanopyridinium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [HCN³Py][NTf₂], 1-hexyl-4-cyanopyridinium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [HCN⁴Py][NTf₂], and 1-octyl-3-cyanopyridinium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [OCN³Py][NTf₂] were performed. The specific basic characterization of new compounds by NMR spectra, elementary analysis, water content and glass transition temperature as well as melting temperature, enthalpy of fusion and decomposition of compounds TG/DTA determined by the differential scanning calorimetry, DSC is presented. The heat capacity was measured at three temperatures (298.15, 323.15, and 353.15) K and at pressure 0.1 MPa. The effect of temperature on the density and viscosity is reported over the temperature range from (293.15 to 363.15) K and at 0.1 MPa. The density and viscosity correlation for these systems was provided by an empirical polynomial. From the density–temperature dependence, the isothermal expansion coefficient (volume expansivity), α, was calculated. The surface tension of pure ionic liquids was measured at 0.1 MPa at five temperatures (298.15, 308.15, 318.15, 328.15, and 338.15) K. The surface thermodynamic functions such as surface entropy and enthalpy, critical temperatures according to the Eötvös and Guggenheim definition and the total surface energy of the ILs studied were derived from the temperature dependence of the surface tension values. The parachor and speed of sound for pure ionic liquids were described within a range of temperature from (298.15 to 338.15) K. A qualitative analysis on these quantities in terms of molecular interactions is reported.     

Volumetric and viscometric behaviour of the binary systems of N-methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate at various temperatures

In the present work, density and viscosity of two binary mixtures of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diethanolamine (DEA) with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([bmim][acetate]) are measured. The experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure and at T = (293.15 to 343.15) K for density and from 293.15 K to 353.15 K for viscosity over the whole range of mole fraction. Using the density and viscosity results, several physical and thermodynamic properties such as excess molar volumes (V^E), coefficients of thermal expansions (α), viscosity deviation (Δη),molar activation entropy (ΔS), molar activation enthalpy (ΔH) and molar activation Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for these binary mixtures are calculated.The experimental results of the density and viscosity for the pure systems as well as the binary systems show a decrease with increasing temperature as expected. The results of density measurements show that over all ranges of temperatures investigated the density of the pure components show the following trend: DEA > [bmim][acetate] > MDEA. Therefore, in the binary mixtures of the (MDEA + [bmim][acetate]), the density of the mixture reduces with decreasing concentration of the ionic liquid and for the (DEA + [bmim][acetate]) mixture the density of the blend enhances to reduce the concentration of the ionic liquid. Moreover, the calculated excess molar volumes show a positive deviation from ideality for the two binary mixtures. The behaviour of change of viscosity against concentration for the (MDEA + [bmim][acetate]) system is different from the (DEA + [bmim][acetate]) mixture so that for the first system the value of the viscosity rises with increasing [bmim][acetate] mole fraction, but in the second system there is a minimum viscosity point in the DEA-rich region.     

Excess enthalpy,density, and heat capacity for binary systems of alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids + water

Experimental measurements of excess molar enthalpy, density, and isobaric molar heat capacity are presented for a set of binary systems ionic liquid + water as a function of temperature at atmospheric pressure. The studied ionic liquids are 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. Excess molar enthalpy was measured at 303.15 K whereas density and heat capacity were determined within the temperature range (293.15 to 318.15) K. From experimental data, excess molar volume and excess molar isobaric heat capacity were calculated. The analysis of the excess properties reveals important differences between the studied ionic liquids which can be ascribed to their capability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.     

Thermodynamic properties of 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate

Pressure, density, temperature (p, ρ, T) data of 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate [C4mpyr][BF₄] at T = (283.15 to 393.15) K and pressures up to p = 100 MPa are reported with an estimated experimental relative combined standard uncertainty of Δρ/ρ = ±(0.01 to 0.08)% in density. The measurements were carried out with a newly constructed Anton-Paar DMA HPM vibration-tube densimeter. The system was calibrated using double-distilled water, methanol, toluene and aqueous NaCl solutions. An empirical equation of state for fitting of the (p, ρ, T) data of [C4mpyr][BF₄] has been developed as a function of pressure and temperature to calculate the thermal properties of the ionic liquid (IL), such as isothermal compressibility, isobaric thermal expansibility, differences in isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, thermal pressure coefficient and internal pressure. Internal pressure and the temperature coefficient of internal pressure data were used to make conclusions on the molecular characteristics of the IL.     

(Liquid + liquid) phase equilibria of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate with alcohols,or ethers,or ketones

Solubilities of binary mixtures that contain a room-temperature ionic liquid and an organic solvent – namely, 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate, [mmim][CH₃SO₄], or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, [bmim][CH₃SO₄] with an alcohol (hexan-1-ol, or octan-1-ol, or nonan-1-ol, or decan-1-ol), or an ether (dipropyl ether, or dibutyl ether, or methyl-1,1-dimethylethyl ether, or methyl-1,1-dimethylpropyl ether), or a ketone (pentan-2-one, or pentan-3-one, or hexan-2-one, or heptan-4-one, or cyclopentanone) – have been measured by a visual method from T = 270 K to the boiling temperature of the solvent. The (liquid + liquid) equilibria curves were predicted by the COSMO-RS method. For [bmim][CH₃SO₄], the COSMO-RS predictions correspond better with experimental results than do the predictions for [mmim][CH₃SO₄].Complete miscibility has been observed in the systems of [mmim][CH₃SO₄] with water and with alcohols ranging from methanol to octan-1-ol and that of [bmim][CH₃SO₄] with water and with alcohols ranging from methanol to decan-1-ol at the temperature T = 310 K.     

Phase equilibria study of the binary systems (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate ionic liquid + water,or organic solvent)

(Solid + liquid) phase equilibria (SLE) and (liquid + liquid) phase equilibria (LLE) for the binary systems: ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolim tosylate (p-toluenesulfonate) {[BMIM][TOS] + water, an alcohol (ethanol, or 1-butanol, or 1-hexanol, or 1-octanol, or 1-decanol), or n-hexane, or an aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, or toluene, or ethylbenzene, or propylbenzene, or thiophene)} have been determined at ambient pressure. A dynamic method was used over a broad range of mole fractions and temperatures from (230 to 340) K. For the binary systems containing water, or an alcohol, simple eutectic diagrams were observed with complete miscibility in the liquid phase. As usual, with increasing chain length of the alcohol the solubility decreases. In the case of mixtures {IL + n-hexane, or benzene, or alkylbenzene, or thiophene} the eutectic systems with mutual immiscibility in the liquid phase with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) were detected. The basic thermal properties of the pure IL, i.e. melting and glass-transition temperatures, as well as the enthalpy of fusion have been measured using a differential scanning microcalorimetry technique (DSC). Density at high temperatures was determined and extrapolated to 298.15 K. Well-known UNIQUAC, Wilson and NRTL equations have been used to correlate experimental SLE data sets for alcohols and water. For the systems containing immiscibility gaps {IL + n-hexane, or benzene, or alkylbenzene, or thiophene}, parameters of the LLE correlation equation have been derived using only the NRTL equation.     

Toxicity Measurement of Imidazolium Ionic Liquids Using Acute Toxicity Test

Ionic liquids (ILs) can be considered as environmentally friendly solvent, but they have the ability to dissolve in water and accumulate in the environment. Therefore, the toxicity of ILs should be assessed in order to prevent their harm to human and environment. This study was carried out to investigate the toxicity of ILs towards marine and freshwater fish. Three ILs have been tested, which are 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate and 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide toward marine fish and 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide toward freshwater fish. Two different marine fish were employed, which are: Cephalopholis cruentata (grouper) and Lates calcarifer (barramundi). For freshwater fish, male Poecilia reticulate (guppy) was employed. The toxicity tests were conducted according to OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) guideline 203. For 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate [BMIM][HSO4], the median lethal concentration (LC50) estimated toward Cephalopholis cruentatato be 199.98 mg.L^-1. For 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [BMIM][TFSI], LC50 estimated toward LatesCalcariferto be 374.11 mg.L^-1. While, for 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, [HMIM][NTf2], LC50 estimated toward Poecilia Reticulate to be 207.49 mg.L^-1. All the LC50 values obtained can be identified as practically nontoxic liquids based on Acute Toxicity Rating Scale by Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). As to our knowledge, there is no previous reported toxicity studies of [BMIM][HSO4] and [BMIM][TFSI] on marine fish and [HMIM] [NTf2] on freshwater fish. Thus, this paper can be used as a benchmark for researchers who are dealing with these three ILs.
