Conductor‐like‐screening model for real solvents (COSMO‐RS) method was used to analyze the solute‐solvent interactions and screen Henry's law constant of toluene over 272 ionic liquids (ILs), select high‐capacity absorbents. Thermogravimetric experiments were carried out evaluate absorption by selected ILs at different temperatures atmospheric pressure. Experimental equilibrium data found in good agreement with COSMO‐RS predictions. Complete desorption N 2 stripping achieved, indicating an...
The interactions between ionic liquids (ILs) and acetone have been studied to obtain a further understanding of the behavior their mixtures, which generally give place an exothermic process, mutual miscibility, negative deviation Raoult's law. COSMO-RS was used as suitable computational method systematically analyze excess enthalpy IL-acetone systems (>300), in terms intermolecular contributing mixture behavior. Spectroscopic results indicated that acetone, polar compound with strong...
The use of ionic liquid mixtures (IL-IL mixtures) is being investigated for fine solvent properties tuning the IL-based systems. scarce available studies, however, evidence a wide variety mixing behaviors (from almost ideal to strongly nonideal), depending on both structure IL components and property considered. In fact, adequate selection cations anions involved in IL-IL may ensure absence or presence two immiscible phases. this work, systematic computational study behavior systems...
Solubilities are reported for methane, ethane, ethylene, and propane in trimethyloctylphosphonium bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinate [P8111][TMPP] from 299 to 323 K up 4 MPa. Consistent with prediction of COSMO-RS, shows large solubilities all four hydrocarbons. Contrary solubility data conventional ionic liquids, the ethane is higher than that ethylene. When compared other similar phosphonium-based cation has only a small influence on Ionic liquid may be useful storage or separation
Abstract The conceptual design of a new process is developed via computer‐aided simulation for separating and purifying reuterin, an antimicrobial substance obtained by bacterial fermentation glycerol, from its mixture with the nonfermented substrate, main subproduct (1,3‐propanediol) water. nondatabank components included in simulations are created using structures derived quantum mechanical calculations properties (molecular weight, normal boiling point, mass density) estimated COSMO‐RS...
The viscosity-to-temperature experimental data available in the open literature sources for 134 ionic liquids (ILs) was refined using a statistical procedure based on confidence bands formalism. 1860 points of 143 different references, among more than 2600 raw found literature, were processed. As result, 21% set rejected. successfully fitted to η = f(T) Arrhenius-type equation with an R2 correlation coefficient higher 0.99 all cases. Parameters A and B Arrhenius function ILs given accurate...
The near-azeotrope mixture of TFE and CO2 is an important concern urging the scientific community to develop new ways for TFE/CO2 separations. In this work, first time, Diisopropylamine (DIPA) Diethanolamine (DEA) are used as solvents separating a near-azeotropic tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). complete separation mechanism has been analyzed using ASPEN Plus process simulator. binary parameters CO2, TFE, DIPA DEA have taken from Cosmotherm software pure data literature (NIST). validation...
Abstract The use of ionic liquids (ILs) for CO 2 capture and utilization into a valuable product is attracting interest even though literature evaluating their sustainability scarce. A liquid–liquid extraction (LLE)‐based separation recently proposed as an alternative to the high energy‐consuming distillation‐based reference approach produce propylene carbonate (PC). In this work, environmental impacts associated two LLE‐based approaches PC are evaluated by means process modeling life cycle...
