a second virial coefficient correlation suitable for two different temperatures ranges, (t*)-2£180 and (t*)-2>180, where t* is rt/dhvap is presented. the equation of state can be calculated for different, complicated non-polar, and slightly polar liquid mixtures at any temperature over the range from ttp to tc and up to high pressures. the latent heat of vaporization and density at the triple p...

Carbon-dioxide-expanded liquids, which are mixtures of organic liquids and compressed CO2, are novel media used in chemical processing. The authors present a molecular simulation study of the transport properties of liquid mixtures formed by acetonitrile and carbon dioxide, in which the CO2 mole fraction is adjusted by changing the pressure, at a constant temperature of 298 K. They report value...

The relative volatilities of a variety of common ionic liquids have been determined for the first time. Equimolar mixtures of ionic liquids were vacuum-distilled in a glass sublimation apparatus at approximately 473 K. The composition of the initial distillate, determined by NMR spectroscopy, was used to establish the relative volatility of each ionic liquid in the mixture. The effect of alkyl ...

Several very serious accidents in laboratories have resulted from the use of flammable liquids, such as volatile petroleum distillates, or toluene, to form the bath of a cryostat. In some instances explosions have occurred, and burning liquid has been thrown upon the operator. The purpose of the investigation has been to find liquids that will not burn, that have very low freezing points, and t...

Solvent effects on 2,6-dichloro-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-pyridinium-1-yl)phenolate [ET (33) dye] and 7diethylamino-3,4-benzophenoxazine-2-one (Nile Red) in binary mixtures of organic solvents (acetone, acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, methanol and ethane-1,2-diol) with 1,3-dialkyl imidazoliumbased ionic liquids were studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. Highly nonlinear behaviour of mixtures of alcoh...

Physico-chemical properties of liquid mixtures in general display large deviations from linear behaviour, arising out of complex specific and non-specific intermolecular interactions. The polarity of liquid mixtures displaying large positive and negative deviations can be minimized and linear mixing can be achieved in liquids using a pseudo-solvent methodology. The work described herein is desi...

The general equation of state which was found for dense fluids, both compressed liquids and dense supercritical fluids, namely "Linear Isotherm Regularity," is extended to the lower density range, specifically for densities lower than the Boyle density. This new equation of state which is called "ELIR" is shown to be compatible with the equations of state based on statistical-mechanical the...

High-pressure infrared measurements were carried out to observe the microscopic structures of two imidazolium-based ionic liquids, i.e., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [EMI(+)(CF(3)SO(2))(2)N(-), EMI(+)TFSA(-)] and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide [EMI(+)(FSO(2))(2)N(-), EMI(+)FSA(-)]. The results obtained at ambient pressure indicate that the ...

A modified UNIFAC−VISCO group contribution method was developed for the correlation and prediction of viscosity of ionic liquids as a function of temperature at 0.1 MPa. In this original approach, cations and anions were regarded as peculiar molecular groups. The significance of this approach comes from the ability to calculate the viscosity of mixtures of ionic liquids as well as pure ionic li...
