Density and activity of pertechnetic acid aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

The previous isopiestic investigations of HTcO₄ aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K are believed to be unreliable, because of the formation of a ternary mixture at high molality. Consequently, published isopiestic molalities for aqueous HTcO₄ solutions at T = 298.15 K were completed and corrected. Binary data (variation of the osmotic coefficient and activity coefficient of the electrolyte in solution in the water) at T = 298.15 K for pertechnetic acid HTcO₄ were determined by direct water activity measurements. These measurements extend from molality m = 1.4 mol · kg⁻¹ to m = 8.32 mol · kg⁻¹. The variation of the osmotic coefficient of this acid in water is represented mathematically. Density variations at T = 298.15 K are also established and used to express the activity coefficient values on both the molar and molal concentration scale. The density law leads to the partial molar volume variations for aqueous HTcO₄ solutions at T = 298.15 K, which are compared with published data.     

Separation of toluene from cyclic hydrocarbons using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ionic liquid at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure

In this paper the extraction of toluene from cyclic hydrocarbons (cyclohexane, or methylcyclohexane, or cyclooctane, or cyclohexene) was analyzed by liquid extraction with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ionic liquid, [BMim][MSO₄], as solvent. The experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data were determined at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Solubility curves were obtained by the cloud point method and tie-line compositions were determined by density measurement. An analysis of the influence of different cyclic hydrocarbons on the extraction was performed.The effectiveness of the extraction of toluene from cyclic hydrocarbons was evaluated by means of the solute distribution ratio and selectivity values. The degree of consistency of the experimental LLE data was ascertained using the Othmer–Tobias and Hand equations. The experimental data for the (liquid + liquid) equilibria of the ternary systems were correlated with the Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) and UNIversal QUAsi-Chemical (UNIQUAC) thermodynamic models.     

Volumetric and compressibility behaviour of ionic liquid, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate in organic solvents at T = 298.15 K

Density and speed of sound measurements have been made on the systems containing the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF₆]) and some organic solvents having a wide range of dielectric constants. Similar studies have been carried out for tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate ([TBA][PF₆]), which has common anion ([PF₆]⁻) with the studied ionic liquid. For the systems investigated, the apparent molar volumes and apparent molar isentropic compressibilities were determined and fitted to the Redlich–Mayer and the Pitzer equations from which the corresponding limiting values were obtained. These limiting values were used to obtain some information about ion–solvent interactions. Furthermore, using the ionic limiting apparent volume values for [TBA]⁺ from the literature and limiting apparent molar volume for the ionic liquid and [TBA][PF₆] obtained in this work, the ionic limiting apparent molar volume values for the cation [BMIM]⁺ in different organic solvents were also estimated.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for (water + 1-propanol + diisopropyl ether + octane,or methylbenzene,or heptane) systems at T = 298.15 K

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria (LLE) data were presented for one ternary system of {water + octane + diisopropyl ether (DIPE)} and three quaternary systems of (water + 1-propanol + DIPE + octane, or methylbenzene, or heptane) at T = 298.15 K and p = 100 kPa. The experimental LLE data were correlated with the modified and extended UNIQUAC models. Distribution coefficients were derived from the experimental LLE data to evaluate the solubility behavior of components in organic and aqueous phases.     

Excess thermodynamic properties of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone from T = (298.15 to 323.15) K at atmospheric pressure

Density (ρ), refractive index (n_D) and speed of sound (u) values are measured for the binary mixture of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone over the entire range of mole fraction at temperatures from T = (298.15 to 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure. Using the basic experimental data, various acoustic and excess thermodynamic parameters are calculated and are discussed in terms of molecular interactions between the present investigated binary system. The excess values are fitted to Redlich–Kister polynomial equation to estimate the binary coefficients and standard deviation between the experimental and calculated values. Further, the molecular interactions in the binary mixture system are analysed using the experimental FT-IR spectrum recorded at room temperature.     

Densities and volumetric properties of binary mixtures of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate with benzaldehyde at T = (298.15 to 313.15) K

The densities of the binary mixtures formed by 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [bmim][BF₄] with aromatic compound (benzaldehyde) have been determined over the full range of compositions at the temperature range from (298.15 to 313.15) K and at atmospheric pressure using a vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA4500). Excess molar volumes $(V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}})$ have been obtained from these experimental results, and been fitted by the fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation. In addition, partial molar volumes, apparent molar volumes, and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been calculated for each component. Our results show $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ decreases slightly when temperature increases in the systems studied. The results have been interpreted in terms of ion–dipole interactions and structural factors of the ionic liquid and these organic molecular liquids.     

Osmotic and activity coefficients in the binary solutions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and bromide in methanol or ethanol at T = 298.15 K from isopiestic measurements

Osmotic coefficients of the binary solutions of two room-temperature ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and bromide) in methanol and ethanol have been measured at T = 298.15 K by the isopiestic method. The experimental osmotic coefficient data have been correlated using a forth-order polynomial in terms of (molality)^0.5, with both, ion interaction model of Pitzer and electrolyte non-random two liquid (e-NRTL) model of Chen. The values of vapor pressures of above-mentioned solutions have been calculated from the osmotic coefficients. The model parameters fitted to the experimental osmotic coefficients have been used for prediction of the mean ionic activity coefficients of those ionic liquids in methanol and ethanol.     

Heat capacities at 298.15 K of the extended [CnC1im][Ntf2] ionic liquid series

High-precision heat capacities at 298.15 K of the [C_nC₁im][Ntf₂] ionic liquid series were measured with an uncertainty of less than ±0.3%, using a drop heat capacity apparatus that was recently updated. The dependence of the $c_p^o$ values on the alkyl side chain length for the extended ionic liquid series [C_nC₁im][Ntf₂] (with n = 2 to 8, 10, and 12) displays a trend shift at [C₆C₁im][Ntf₂], which is taken as an evidence for percolation limit. Above this limit there is an increase in the methylene group contribution to the molar heat capacity which is in agreement with the higher molar absolute entropies change observed from the (liquid + vapor) equilibrium results. The obtained experimental results support the model that the ionic liquids tend to be segregated into a polar network and non-polar domains, being followed by an increase of the entropy contribution of the non-polar domains.     

(Solid + liquid) phase diagram for (indomethacin + nicotinamide)-methanol or methanol/ethyl acetate mixture and solubility behavior of 1:1 (indomethacin + nicotinamide) co-crystal at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K

(Solid + liquid) equilibrium data for indomethacin (IMC) and nicotinamide (NCT) in both methanol (MeOH) and methanol/ethyl acetate (EA) mixture were determined using a static method at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The 1:1 (IMC + NCT) co-crystal and IMC·MeOH were found in both systems under conditions investigated. The solubility of the 1:1 (IMC + NCT) co-crystal was correlated using a mathematical model consisting of both solubility product and a complexation process. Solubility of (IMC + NCT) co-crystals as a function of co-former (NCT) concentration was evaluated. It was found that temperature has a significant effect on the formation of methanol solvate in the systems investigated. Solvate formation could be suppressed either by increasing temperature or using solvent mixtures. Additionally, the solvent mixture could level out the solubility differences between IMC and NCT, resulting in larger and more symmetric regions for the (IMC + NCT) co-crystal, which would be helpful to the development of the co-crystallization process for the 1:1 (IMC + NCT) co-crystal.     

Application of [EMim][ESO4] ionic liquid as solvent in the extraction of toluene from cycloalkanes: Study of liquid-liquid equilibria at T = 298.15 K

In this paper, the separation of toluene from cycloalkanes by liquid extraction using the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, [EMim][ESO₄], as solvent was studied. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for ternary systems {cyclohexane, or cyclooctane, or methylcyclohexane + toluene + [EMim][ESO₄]} were determined at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Selectivity and solute distribution ratio, derived from the tie-lines, were used to determine the ability of this ionic liquid as solvent for the separation of toluene from its mixtures with cycloalkanes. The degree of consistency of the tie-lines was tested using the Othmer-Tobias equation, and the experimental LLE data were correlated using the non-random two-liquid (NRTL) and the UNIversal QUAsi-Chemical (UNIQUAC) models.     

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution measurements for organic solutes in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide using g.l.c. at T = (298.15, 313.15, and 333.15) K

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution, (where 1 refers to the solute and 3 to the solvent), for both polar and non-polar solutes (alkanes, alk-1-enes, alk-1-ynes, cycloalkanes, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and methanol) in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide [HMIM][Tf₂N] at three temperatures T = (298.15, 313.15, and 333.15) K have been determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The interaction at the gas-liquid interface between the solutes and the solvent was examined by varying solvent liquid loading on the column. Corrected retention values, taking carrier gas and solute imperfections into account, were determined and used to calculate the activity coefficients at infinite dilution. The results have been used to predict the solvent potential for the hexane/benzene separation from calculated selectivity values. The results were compared to for similar systems found in the literature in an attempt to understand the effect of the nature of the cation and anion has on solute-solvent interactions.The partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution values were calculated from the experimental values obtained over the temperature range.     

Experimental densities,dynamic viscosities and surface tensions of the ionic liquids series 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate and dicyanamide and their binary and ternary mixtures with water and ethanol at T = (298.15 to 343.15 K)

In this paper, experimental densities and dynamic viscosities of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) with the anions acetate and dicyanamide are presented in a wide temperature range (298.15 to 343.15 K) at atmospheric pressure. Surface tension of these ILs was measured at T = 298.15 K. The effect of water and/or ethanol compositions on densities and dynamic viscosities of these ILs are studied in binary and ternary mixtures. A quadratic mixing rule was used to correlate binary and ternary liquid densities. The Eyring–Patel–Teja model, which is recommended for polar and aqueous systems, is used to correlate dynamic viscosity data over the whole range of compositions and temperatures in binary and ternary mixtures. Temperature-dependent interaction parameters are introduced here to account for the changes of viscosities with temperature showing good agreements with experimental data.     

Enthalpy of absorption and limit of solubility of CO2 in aqueous solutions of 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-[2-(dimethyl-amino)ethoxy] ethanol,and 3-dimethyl-amino-1-propanol at T = (313.15 and 353.15) K and pressures up to 2 MPa

In order to study the influence of amine structure on absorption of carbon dioxide, enthalpies of solution of CO₂ in 2.50 mol · L^?1 aqueous solutions of 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol (THAM), 2-[2-(dimethyl-amino)ethoxy] ethanol (DMAEOE), and 3-dimethyl-amino-1-propanol (DMAP) were measured. The enthalpies of solution are determined as function of gas loading charge (moles of CO₂/mole of amine), at temperatures (313.15 and 353.15) K, and pressures range from (0.5 to 2) MPa. Measurements were carried out using a flow calorimetric technique. CO₂ solubilities in the aqueous solutions of amine are derived from calorimetric data. Molar volumes of aqueous amine solutions required to handle calorimetric data were determined at 303.15 K using a vibrating tube densimeter. Experimental enthalpies of solution are discussed on the basis of amines alkalinity.
