Abstract

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution, γ i ∞ for various solutes: alkanes, cycloalkanes, 1-alkenes, 1-alkynes, benzene, alkylbenzenes, and alcohols in the ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(oxalato)borate [BMIM][BOB] and 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(oxalato)borate [HMIM][BOB] have been determined by gas-liquid chromatography at the temperatures ranging from 308 to 348 K. The partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution H i E , ∞ of the solutes in the ionic liquids were also derived from the temperature dependence of the γ i ∞ values. The selectivities for the hexane/benzene, cyclohexane/benzene and hexane/hexene separation problems were calculated from experimental infinite dilution activity coefficient values and compared to the other ionic liquids, taken from the recent literatures.
