The changes in the molecular interactions
of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium
diethyl phosphate ionic liquid in aqueous and aqueous d-glucose
solutions are being investigated through the thermodynamic and compressibility
parameters. The purpose of this research is to give insight into details
about the thermophysical aspect of cellulose dissolution. Toward this
objective, we have evaluated the thermodynamic and compressibility
parameters of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate in aqueous
and in 0.06 and 0.12 mol kg–1 aqueous d-glucose solutions in the concentration range of 0.02 to 0.14 mol
kg–1 at different temperatures, i.e., T/K = (288.15 to 318.15). The various derived parameters
including the apparent molar volume of solute (V
ϕ), limiting apparent molar volume of solute (V
ϕ
0), limiting apparent molar expansivity of solute (E
ϕ
0), isentropic compressibility of solution (κs), apparent molar isentropic compressibility of solute (K
s,ϕ), limiting apparent molar isentropic compressibility
of solute (K
s,ϕ
0), limiting apparent molar volume of transfer
(Δtr
V
ϕ
0), and limiting apparent molar isentropic
compressibility of transfer (Δtr
K
s,ϕ
0)
have been calculated with the help of experimental density (ρ)
and sound velocity (c) data. The kosmotropic nature
of [EMIm][DEP] has been proven using Hepler’s constant (∂2
V
ϕ
0/∂T
2). These
estimated experimental values shed light on the numerous physicochemical
interactions that exist in the systems and show the presence of significant
attractive interactions among 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl
phosphate ionic liquid and d-glucose.
