Abstract

Abstract:

Thermodynamic properties of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF₄) were determined via inverse gas chromatography (IGC). Two groups of solvents with different chemical natures and polarities were used to obtain information about [BMIM]BF₄-solvent interactions. The specific retention volume, molar heat of sorption, weight fraction activity coefficient, Flory-Huggins interaction parameter as well as solubility parameter were also determined in a temperature range of 333-373 K. The results showed that the selected solvents n-C₁₀ to n-C₁₂, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane and toluene were poor solvents for [BMIM]BF₄, while dichloromethane, acetone, chloroform, methyl acetate, ethanol and methanol were favorite solvents for [BMIM]BF₄. In addition, the solubility parameter of [BMIM]BF₄ was determined as 23.39 (J/cm³)^0.5 by the extrapolation at 298 K. The experiment proved that IGC was a simple and accurate method to obtain the thermodynamic properties of ionic liquids. This study could be used as a reference to the application and research of the ionic liquids.

Key words: Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, inverse gas chromatography (IGC), ionic liquid (IL), solubility parameter
