(Vapor + liquid) equilibria of binary mixtures containing light alcohols and ionic liquids
Résumé
This work presents (vapor + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) of binary mixtures containing methanol or ethanol and three imidazolium based ionic liquids: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate. VLE measurements were carried out over the whole range of composition between (283.15 and 298.15) K using a static apparatus. Activity coefficients γi of these solvents in the ionic liquids have been determined from the VLE data and correlated using the NRTL model. The results show that the NRTL model can be applied successfully with systems containing ionic liquids.
