The influence of temperature and composition on the density, viscosity and excess properties of aqueous mixtures of carboxylic-based ionic liquids

Abstract

In this work, the systematic study of the physicochemical and excess properties of binary mixtures of carboxylic-based ionic liquids with water is presented. The ILs studied, 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium acetate, [EMPYR][AcO], 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium glycolate, [EMPYR][Gly] and 1-ethyl-1-methylmorpholinium glycolate, [EMMOR][Gly] were synthesized in our laboratory, and their structures confirmed by NMR technique. In addition, basic thermophysical characterization of pure ILs was determined using the DSC technique. The density, ρ and dynamic viscosity, η were measured over the entire composition range as a function of temperature from (298.15 to 348.15)K at 101.3kPa. From the experimental results, excess molar volumes, VE and dynamic viscosity deviations, Δη were calculated and described using the Redlich-Kister equation. The influence of the IL structure on the transport and thermodynamic properties is discussed.
