For the halide-free imidazolium-based ionic liquids with a methanesulfonate anion, the solubility results of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) are presented at pressures up to approximately 45 MPa and temperatures ranging from 303.15 K to 343.15 K. The solubility was determined by measuring bubble pressures of mixtures of CO 2 and ionic liquid using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. The ionic liquids studied in this work were 1,3-dibutylimidazolium methanesulfonate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate, and 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methanesulfonate. A sharp increase of equilibrium pressure was observed at high CO 2 compositions. In ionic liquids, the CO 2 solubility was elevated according to the increase of the total length of alkyl chains linked to the imidazole of the ionic liquids, and this increase became more apparent at higher pressures. The ionic liquids with a methanesulfonate anion gave a lower CO 2 solubility than the ionic liquids with a fluorinated substituent such a fluoroalkyl group on their anions.
CyberKnifeTM treatment seems to be effective in local control of pancreaticobiliary cancer, but we experienced serious complications. Further prospective studies will be needed for the proper evaluation of role of CyberknifeTM treatment in patients with advanced pancreaticobiliary malignancies.
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.
