Keywords:Activity coefficient at infinite dilution Ionic liquid 1-(2-Methoxyethyl)-1-methylpiperidinium trifluorotris (perfluoroethyl)phosphate [COC 2 mPIP][FAP] Selectivity Extraction LFER
a b s t r a c tThis work is continuation of our systematic study of activity coefficients at infinite dilution, c 1 of different organic solutes and water in the ionic liquids. New data of c 1 were determined for 62 solutes, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, thiophene, ethers, ketones, esters, 1-nitropropane, butanal, acetonitrile, and water in the ionic liquid 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-methylpiperidinium trifluorotris(perfluoroethyl)phosphate by inverse gas chromatography at the temperature range from (318.15 to 368.15) K. The basic thermodynamic functions, namely partial molar excess Gibbs free energies, DG E;1 1 , enthalpies, DH E;1 1 and entropies, DS E;1 1 at infinite dilution were calculated from the experimental c 1 values obtained over the temperature range. Additionally the gas-liquid partition coefficients, K L were determined. Results are compared to previously investigated ionic liquids with the same cations or anions. Values of the selectivity and capacity at infinite dilution for heptane/benzene, heptane/ thiophene, and heptane/methanol extraction problems were calculated from experimental c 1 values to verify the possibility of investigated ionic liquid as an entrainer in liquid-liquid extraction.
