Separation of water/butan-1-ol based on activity coefficients at infinite dilution in 1,3-didecyl-2-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ionic liquid

摘要

The activity coefficients (gamma(infinity)(13)) at infinite dilution for 65 solutes and the effect of interaction between organic solvents or water on the interfacial and bulk properties of 1,3-didecyl-2-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, [D2MIM][DCA] were detected by the gas-liquid chromatography at six temperatures in range of (358.15-408.15) K. The data are provided for polar and non-polar solutes as alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, ketones, acetonitrile, pyridine, 1-nitropropane, thiophene, esters as well as for water. The synthesis and the thermal properties of [D2MIM][DCA] are presented. The fundamental thermodynamic functions, the partial molar excess Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy at infinite dilution were calculated and discussed. The values of selectivity and capacity for the separation problem water/butan-1-ol were calculated from gamma(infinity)(13) and compared to literature values for imidazolium-based, or dicyanamide-based ionic liquids (ILs) for the same separation problem. The data presented here shows that [D2MIM][DCA] reveals attractive selectivity and capacity in the comparison to measured earlier ILs in the chosen separation problem. These findings seem useful for future applications of this IL in projects of new technologies for water/butan-1-ol separation process. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
