Phase equilibrium (temperature−composition) relations of tetra-n-butylphosphonium formate (TBP-For), acetate (TBP-Ace), and lactate (TBP-Lac) semiclathrate hydrate systems have been measured. The highest equilibrium temperatures of TBP-For, TBP-Ace, and TBP-Lac semiclathrate hydrates were 280.9, 284.6, and 283.8 K at the atmospheric pressure, respectively, where the composition of tetran-butylphosphonium carboxylate was approximately 0.035 ± 0.001 (mole fraction) in every system. The dissociation enthalpies of tetra-nbutylphosphonium carboxylate semiclathrate hydrates were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The dissociation enthalpies of TBP-For, TBP-Ace, and TBP-Lac semiclathrate hydrates were (187 ± 3), (193 ± 3), and (177 ± 3) J•g −1 , respectively.
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.
