Thermodynamic parameters at infinite dilution for thirty-one organic solutes in a series of imidazolyl hydrogen sulfate ionic liquids (ILs) were determined by inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The IGC characterization was carried out at temperatures ranging between 303.15 and 343.15 K for determining the Hildebrand solubility parameter (δ 2 ) as well as the Flory−Huggins interaction parameter (χ 12 ∞ ), the activity coefficient at infinite dilution (γ 12 ∞ ), and the thermodynamic functions. In addition, based on the γ 12 ∞ results, the selectivity and capacity were directly calculated for two separation problems (hexane/benzene and hexane/thiophene). Under the different effects of the three ILs, it was found that the values of χ 12 ∞ and γ 12 ∞ were significantly different for the solutes tested, but all the values follow a certain pattern: they increase with temperature or decrease with temperature. As the temperature increased, the solubility parameters of the three ILs showed a linear decrease trend. The solubility parameters of the three ionic liquids at room temperature were obtained by extrapolation as δ 2([BMIM][HSO4]) = 24.15 MPa 1/2 , δ 2([HMIM][HSO4]) = 24.10 MPa 1/2 , and δ 2([OMIM][HSO4]) = 23.66 MPa 1/2 .
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.
