Carbon dioxide solubility in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluormethylsulfonyl)imide in a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

Abstract

Solubility measurement data of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [HMIM][NTf2] at T = 273.15-413.15 K and pressures up to p = 4.5 MPa using an isochoric method in decrements of ΔT = 20 K are presented. The temperature dependency of the Henry's law constant was calculated, and the average deviation of the Henry's law constant is always better than ±1%. Thermodynamic properties of solution such as the free energy of solvation, the enthalpy of solvation, the entropy of solvation, and the heat capacity of solvation were calculated to evaluate the solute-solvent molecular interactions.
