Abstract:

Thermodynamic parameters of eighteen kinds of organic solvents in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate([BMIM]PF6) were determined by inverse gas chromatography(IGC) from 343.15 to 373.15 K. The molar enthalpy of sorption, mass fraction activity coefficient, Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, partial molar enthalpy of mixing, and activity coefficient at infinite dilution, were calculated to determine the interactions between [BMIM]PF6 and selected solvents at the indicated temperature range. n-Alkanes, cyclohexane, tetrahydrofuran, ether, and carbon tetrachloride were found to be poor solvents for [BMIM]PF6, while benzene, toluene, m-xylene, dichloromethane, acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, ethanol, and carbinol were favorable solvents for this ionic liquid.
