The solubility of carbon dioxide in a series imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquids has been determined using quartz crystal microbalance. Henry's constants were obtained for CO2 nine different liquids: 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C3mimTf2N), 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (C4mimTf2N), C4mimTf2N with polyethylenimine, 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium (C6mimTf2N), 1-methyl-3-n-octylimidazolium (C8mimTf2N),...

A transient thin liquid film gas uptake technique was used to measure the diffusion coefficients of carbon dioxide under infinite dilution conditions in eight commercially available room-temperature ionic liquids at 10, 25, and 40 °C. The measured CO2 were ∼1 × 10−6 cm2/s, an order magnitude smaller than for traditional organic solvents. Combining these results with diffusivity values reported literature nonionic fluids shows a generally universal relationship between solvent viscosity,...

Abstract The effective diffusion coefficients of dextran and polyethylene glycol in track‐etched polycarbonate membranes were measured using with nominal pore sizes 0.03 μm, 0.05 0.1 μm. Experiments performed narrow‐size range fractions each polymer. When the Stokes‐Einstein radius was used to describe solute size, observed diffusivities for both polymers agreed closely larger than values predicted rigid spheres, as well linear when only steric interactions wall are assumed.
