Using Partial Least-Squares Regression in Multivariate UV Spectroscopic Analysis of Mixtures of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids and 1-Methylimidazole for Measurements of Liquid–Liquid Equilibria

Recent interest in the use of room-temperature ionic liquids in various industrial applications sets requirements for analytical techniques that could lead to an efficient determination of concentrations of ionic liquids and/or possible impurities contained in them. Catalytic processes are particularly sensitive to the amount of impurities in the reaction media. Finding suitable and efficient techniques of determining compositions of liquid mixtures appears to be of importance not only for the design and optimization of such catalytic processes but also in measurements of phase equilibria. Imidazolium-based ionic liquids are often contaminated by their precursors 1-chlorobutane and 1-methylimidazole. Therefore, in this work a calibration technique is proposed that makes use of partial least-squares regression in UV spectroscopic determination of concentrations of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and 1-methylimidazole. Spectra of these compounds show significant overlaps making their simultaneous quantitative analysis difficult. Partial least-squares regression using the PLS2 algorithm provides an effective resolution, decomposing complicated spectra and coping with component interferences, nonlinearities and collinearity. The calibration method for the chosen compounds was validated using test samples of known composition and by measuring liquid?Cliquid equilibria at 298.15?K in the ternary system 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate?+?1-methylimidazole?+?1-chlorobutane.     

Ionic liquids in separations of azeotropic systems – A review

Efforts to make existing separation methods more efficient and eco-friendly may get a boost from the use of a relatively new class of compounds known as ionic liquids (ILs). The separation of azeotropic mixtures has conventionally been one of the most challenging tasks in industrial processes due to the fact that their separation by simple distillation is basically impossible.This paper provides a critical review of methods using ILs as azeotrope breakers. Three separation processes were addressed: liquid–liquid extraction, extractive distillation, and supported liquid membranes. We examine the azeotrope breaking potential of ILs and compare their performance to that of conventional solvents. A systematic analysis of the influence of the structure of ILs on their azeotrope breaking capacity contributes to the establishment of guidelines for selecting the most suitable ILs for the separation of specific azeotropic mixtures.     

Vapor-liquid equilibria of ternary systems with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate using headspace gas chromatography

Vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for two binary systems 1-propanol + water and methyl acetate + methanol, and the ternary mixtures with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate [EMIM]⁺[EtSO₄]⁻ as entrainer were measured by headspace gas chromatography. From the experimental VLE data, the influence of the ionic liquid on the separation factors was investigated. The experimental results for the ternary systems show that [EMIM]⁺[EtSO₄]⁻ has a great influence on the separation factors of the systems investigated. Furthermore, the experimental separation factors were compared with the predicted ones of other ionic liquids and conventional selective solvents using modified UNIFAC (Dortmund).     

Thermodynamic modeling of the phase behavior of binary systems of ionic liquids and carbon dioxide with the group contribution equation of state

The group contribution equation of state (GC-EOS) was applied to predict the phase behavior of binary systems of ionic liquids of the homologous families 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrafluoroborate with CO2. Pure group parameters for the new ionic liquid functional groups [-mim][PF6] and [-mim][BF4] and interaction parameters between these groups and the paraffin (CH3, CH2) and CO2 groups were estimated. The GC-EOS extended with the new parameters was applied to predict high-pressure phase equilibria in binary mixtures of the ionic liquids [emim][PF6], [bmim][PF6], [hmim][PF6], [bmim][BF4], [hmim][BF4], and [omim][BF4] with CO2. The agreement between experimental and predicted bubble point data for the ionic liquids was excellent for pressures up to 20 MPa, and even for pressures up to about 100 MPa, the agreement was good. The results show the capability of the GC-EOS to describe phase equilibria of systems consisting of ionic liquids.     

FROM UNIT OPERATIONS TO SEPARATION PROCESSES 1

The Arthur D. Little concept of unit operations embodied a number of different methods of separating mixtures and represented a major advance in chemical engineering. Over time, those and subsequent concepts have evolved into a unified field of separation processes. The ways in which this happened are traced. The more unified view of separations enables more coherent and powerful approaches for process selection and design, reducing energy requirements, for selecting separating agents, understanding the complex interactions of mass transfer and phase equilibria, and identifying new methods for separating complex mixtures. As such, separation processes provide one of the most effective vehicles for teaching and understanding the engineering of chemical processes.     

Ferroelectric phase transitions near ionic liquid/vacuum interfaces

A simple theoretical model is developed describing ionic liquids as regular solutions. The separation of these ionic mixtures is studied on the base of the Cahn-Hilliard theory coupled with electrostatics. It is shown that the ionic liquids decompose to thin layers of oppositely charged liquids at low temperatures. At larger temperatures the separation occurs only near the ionic liquid/vacuum surface, thus explaining the oscillatory-decaying structure of the electric double layer observed via computer simulations. In contrast to noncharged liquids the ionic ones exhibit two critical temperatures, where the temperature coefficients of all characteristic lengths possess singularities. These second order ferroelectric phase transitions are possible explanations of the experimentally measured via light scattering peculiar temperature dependence of the interfacial dipole moment density on several ionic liquid/vacuum interfaces.     

CO(2) as a separation switch for ionic liquid/organic mixtures

A novel technique to separate ionic liquids from organic compounds is introduced which uses carbon dioxide to induce the formation of an ionic liquid-rich phase and an organic-rich liquid phase in mixtures of methanol and 3-butyl-1-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C4mim][PF6]). If the temperature is above the critical temperature of CO2 then the methanol-rich phase can become completely miscible with the CO2-rich phase, and this new phase is completely ionic liquid-free. Since CO2 is nonpolar, it is not equipped to solvate ions. As the CO2 dissolves in the methanol/[C4mim][PF6] mixture, the solvent power of the CO2-expanded liquid is significantly reduced, inducing the formation of the second liquid phase that is rich in ionic liquid. This presents a new way to recover products from ionic liquid mixtures and purify organic phases that have been contaminated with ionic liquid. Moreover, these results have important implications for reactions done in CO2/ionic liquid biphasic mixtures.     

A perturbed hard-sphere-chain equation of state for nematic liquid crystals and their mixtures with polymers

A perturbed hard-sphere-chain (PHSC) equation of state is presented to compute nematicisotropic equilibria for thermotropic liquid crystals, including mixtures. The equation of state consists of an isotropic term and an anisotropic term given by the Maier-Saupe theory whose contribution disappears in the isotropic phase. The isotropic contribution is the recently presented PHSC equation of state for normal fluids and polymers which uses a reference equation of state for athermal hard-sphere chains and a perturbation theory for the squarewell fluid of variable well width. The PHSC equation of state gives excellent correlations of pure-component pressure-volume-temperature data in the isotropic region and, combined with the Maier-Saupe theory, correlates the dependence of nematic-isotropic transition temperature on the pressure. Theory also predicts a nematic-isotropic biphasic region and liquid-liquid phase separation in a temperature-composition diagram of binary mixtures containing a nematic liquid crystal and a normal fluid or polymer. Theory and experiment show good agreement for pure fluids as well as for mixtures.     

Thermodynamic calculation of supercritical-fluid equilibria: New mixing rules for equations of state

Simple cubic equations of state with conventional mixing rules have played an important role in the calculation of phase equilibria and other thermodynamic properties of non-polar fluid mixtures. In the application of supercritical fluids to separation processes, volumetric as well as phase equilibrium properties are very important for rational process design.

Heyen (1980) proposed a cubic equation of state which shows better accuracy in the calculation of volumetric properties, compared to the Peng-Robinson equation of state. In order to apply his equation to polar mixtures, Heyen recently proposed a density-independent mixing rule, but this does not obey the universally-observed quadratic mixing rule of the second virial coefficient in the low-density limit.

This paper proposes a new density-dependent mixing rule for the Heyen equation of state. The Heyen equation of state with our new mixing rule appears to calculate the phase equilibria and the volumetric properties of CO₂-containing non-polar as well as polar mixtures with good accuracy.
