Different deep eutectic solvents (DESs) of triethanolamine (TEOA) and oxalic
acid (OA), glacial acetic acid (AA), L-(+)-lactic acid (LA), oleic acid
(OLA), glycerol (G), ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PEG), choline
chloride (ChCl) or 1,3-dimethylurea (DMU) were prepared and characterized
re-garding their physicochemical (density, viscosity, electrical
conductivity, refract-tive index, coefficient of volume expansion, molecular
volume, lattice energy, and heat capacity) properties over the temperature
range of 293.15-363.15 K at 101.325 kPa. For all tested DESs, the density,
viscosity and refractive index decreased with increasing the temperature
while the electrical conductivity increased. Those temperature dependence
for viscosity and electrical conducti-vity are described by the
Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher equations. The viscosity and molar conductivity, which
exhibited a linear behavior, were correlated by the fractional Walden rule.
Besides, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to
study the functional groups of these DESs while thermogra-vimetric analysis
(TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provided the information
about their stability. The tested DESs of TEOA possess desirable properties
for use in various industrial processes, such as extractions, separations,
chemical technology and biotechnology. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, Grant no. III 45001, Grant no. 451-03-68/2020-14/200133]
