Abstract
The thermal stability, equilibrium vapor pressure, and standard enthalpy of vaporization of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) ion liquid were investigated using both non-isothermal and isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under high purity nitrogen as a carrier gas. The non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) curve showed that the onset and peak decomposition temperatures were 697 and 734 K, respectively. However, long-term isothermal TGA studies revealed that the highest application temperature for [bmim][BF4] was 513 K. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the equilibrium vapor pressure and the standard enthalpy of vaporization of [bmim][BF4] were also investigated by TG-based transpiration. In the temperature range of 503-543 K, the relationship between the equilibrium vapor pressure (p(subscript e)) of [bmim][BF4] and temperature was l(subscript gpe)=(16±1)+(-6.85±0.25)×10^3/T. The standard enthalpy of vaporization (△(subscript vap)H(superscripat Ө)) of [bmim][BF4] was found to be(131±5) kJ•mol^(-1).
