The speed of sound and density of mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]) with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and water, as well as of the pure components have been experimentally
measured over the whole range of compositions at T = (278.15 to 338.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From
these experimental data, the excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility, and excess speed of sound
have been calculated and fitted to an extended version of the Redlich−Kister equation, which takes into account
the dependence on composition and temperature simultaneously. The Prigogine−Flory−Patterson theory has also
been used to explain the behavior of these systems.
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria for the binary systems acetone + methanol, acetone + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]), and methanol + [emim][triflate] as well as the vapor-liquid equilibrium for the acetone + methanol + [emim][triflate] ternary system have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of the ionic liquid to the solvent mixture produced an important salting-out effect, and the azeotrope tended to disappear for small contents of ionic liquid. The experimental binary data sets were independently fitted with the electrolyte NRTL model, and the parameters of Mock's model were estimated for each binary system. These parameters were used to predict the ternary vapor-liquid equilibrium which agreed very well with the experimental one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
