Abstract

The solubility of pure CO2, CH4, and N2 in the mixture of choline-2-pyrrolidine carboxylic acid ([Cho][Pro]) and polyethylene glycol (PEG200) (mass ratio = 1:2) was measured experimentally at temperatures from 308.15 to 338.15 K and pressures up to 28 bar, in which [Cho][Pro] is an ionic liquid and PEG200 is a cosolvent with the purpose to decrease the viscosity. It was found that [Cho][Pro]/PEG200 showed a good selectivity for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 separation. The measured experimental data points from this work and others were further used to estimate the thermodynamic properties including the Henry’s law constants for the gases in [Cho][Pro]/PEG200, the equilibrium constant for the reaction between CO2 and [Cho][Pro], the CO2 absorption enthalpy in [Cho][Pro]/PEG200, and so forth. The consistent results of the CO2 absorption enthalpy at infinite dilution prove the reliability of the thermodynamic properties obtained in this work. The thermodynamic properties of [Cho][Pro]/PEG200 were further compared with...
