    ABSTRACT: The industrial application of ionic liquids (ILs) requires the knowledge of their physical properties and phasebehavior. This work addresses the experimental determination of the vaporliquid equilibria (VLE) of binary systems composedof water + imidazolium-based ILs. The ILs under consideration are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triuoromethanesulfonate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triuoroacetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate, and1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, which allows the evaluation of the inuence of the IL anion through the phase behavior.Isobaric VLE data were measured at 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 MPa for IL mole fractions ranging between 0 and 0.7. The observedincrease in the boiling temperatures of the mixtures is related with the strength of the interaction between the IL anion andwater. The Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) was further used to describe the obtainedexperimental data. The ILs were treated as molecular associating species with two association sites per IL. The model parametersfor the pure uids and the binary interaction parameter kij between water and ILs were determined by a simultaneous tting topure-IL densities, water activity coecients at 298.15 K and VLE data at 0.1 MPa. Pure-IL densities, water activity coecients,and VLE data were well described by PC-SAFT in broad temperature, pressure, and composition ranges. The PC-SAFTparameters were applied to predict the water activity coecients at innite dilution in ILs, and a satisfactory prediction ofexperimental data was observed.

    INTRODUCTIONThe absorption refrigeration is widely used in many elds, suchas in military, air conditioning, electric power, steelmaking,chemical industry, and drugs manufacturing.1 This technologyrequires a working pair of uids composed of refrigerant andabsorbent. Many working uid pairs are suggested inliterature25 for absorption refrigeration, but there is still noideal working uid pair by now. The performance of absorptioncycles depends on the thermodynamic properties of theworking pair. Currently, the binary systems water + NH3 andwater + LiBr are applied as working uid pairs in absorptionrefrigerators,2 but these systems have some disadvantages suchas corrosion, crystallization, or toxicity. Therefore, the ndingof more advantageous working pairs with good thermal stabilitywithout corrosive and crystallization eects has become aresearch focus in recent years. Several researchers35

    demonstrated that the extreme values of the excess Gibbsfunction (Gmax

    E) can be used to evaluate the performance of theabsorption cycle working pairs. Mixtures with negative

    deviation from the Raoults law usually exhibit a strongabsorption performance. The Gmax

    E of such mixtures arenegative as the activity coecients of the respectivecomponents are lower than unity. This causes large vaporpressure depressions and/or high boiling-point elevations.Ionic liquids (ILs) have recently attracted increased attention

    because of their potential for absorption refrigeration.6 Due totheir physical properties, ILs can be used as new coolingabsorbents for absorption chillers or absorption heat pumpswhere one possible working pair might be composed of water(refrigerant) and IL (absorber). Thus, knowledge aboutthermodynamic properties and phase equilibria of water + ILsolutions is fundamental to determine their applicability as

  • absorption refrigeration systems7,8 and for a correct design andapplication of absorption processes.A good working uid pair for absorption refrigeration

    processes should show a large boiling-temperature elevationand/or vapor pressure depression. The boiling-temperatureelevation of water depends on the kind of IL, on the ILconcentration in the mixture and on temperature. Forabsorption systems using water + ILs, numerous literatureworks have been reported.812 Experimental activity coef-cients of water at innite dilution in ILs, w

    , have also beenextensively published.1334 Such data are an appropriateindicator for the evaluation of the performance of a workingpair for absorption refrigeration processes. For this application,low w

    values are desired, meaning strong waterILinteractions.Yokozeki and Shiett stated that an optimized water + IL

    system could compete with the existing water + LiBr system35

    for absorption refrigeration processes. Zuo et al.8 suggested thesystem water +1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate([C2C1im][C2H5SO4]) as a new working pair. Wang et al.

    36

    proposed the application of the system constituted by water+1,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride ([C1C1im]Cl) as an alter-native working pair for absorption cycles based on themeasurement of the binary vaporliquid equilibrium (VLE)data. Kim et al.37 showed broad theoretical work on variousmixtures of refrigerants and ILs as working pairs for theabsorption refrigeration system, and Zhang et al.9 simulated asingle-eect absorption cycle using the water +1,3-dimethyli-midazolium dimethylphosphate ([C1C1im][DMP]) and water+1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([C2C1im]-[DMP]) systems. Wu et al.38 measured vapor pressures and theVLE of water +1,3-dimethylimidazolium tetrauoroborate([C1C1im][BF4]) mixtures and suggested them as promisingworking pairs on a comparison basis with [C1C1im]Cl

    38 and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrauoroborate ([C4C1im]-[BF4]).

    39 Kim et al.39 measured the vapor pressures of water+1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C4C1im]Br), water +[C4C1im][BF4] and water +1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimida-zolium tetrauoroborate ([OHC2C1im][BF4]) systems inbroad concentration and temperature ranges. Nie et al.10

    suggested water +1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazoliumchloride ([OHC2C1im]Cl) as a novel alternative working pairfor the absorption heat pump cycle. The vapor pressure andspecic heat capacity of binary solutions of 1-ethyl-3-ethyl-imidazolium diethylphosphate ([C2C2im][DEP]),

    40 [C1C1im]-[DMP],41 [C2C1im][DMP],

    42 and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazo-lium dibutylphosphate ([C4C1im][DBP])

    41 with water, etha-nol, or methanol were also investigated as new working pairs.Recently, Carvalho et al.43 measured the VLE of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C2C1im]Cl), 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ([C4C1im]Cl), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazo-lium chloride ([C6C1im]Cl), and choline chloride([N111(2OH)]Cl) with water and ethanol using a new isobaricmicroebulliometer at pressures ranging from 0.05 to 0.1 MPa.These binary systems present negative deviations from RaoultsLaw and negative excess enthalpies, suggesting that some ofthem could be appropriate working pairs for absorption chillersor absorption heat pumps.Several thermodynamic models have been applied to

    describe thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria of ILaqueous solutions, namely activity-coecient models, equationsof state (EoS), and unimolecular quantum chemistrycalculations. For instance, Doman ska and Marciniak described

    the liquidliquid equilibrium (LLE) and the solidliquidequilibrium (SLE) of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis-(triuoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C4C1im][NTf2]) aqueoussystem with the Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) and theWilson models.44 The VLE of the same system was alsodescribed with the modied UNIversal Functional ActivityCoecients (UNIFAC) by Nebig et al.45 Li et al.46 applied theSquare-Well Chain Fluid with Variable Range EoS (SWCF-VR)to model thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions ofILs, and Wang et al.47 used the same EoS to describe the VLEof several systems constituted by water + [NTf2]-based ILs.Banarjee et al.48 applied the COnductor-like Screening MOdelfor Realistic Solvation (COSMO-RS)a predictive modelbased on unimolecular quantum chemistry calculationstopredict the VLE of water + alkylimidazolium-based ILs. Freireet al.4951 also studied the VLE and LLE of a large range ofwater + IL mixtures using COSMO-RS. Carvalho et al.43

    recently applied the NRTL model to correlate VLE data ofbinary mixtures of water + IL and ethanol + IL and thenonideal behavior of the liquid phase solutions.In recent years, a physically grounded theoretical approach,

    the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT), has beenshown to be able to describe thermophysical properties andphase behaviors of ILs as well as their mixtures. Within thisframework, the strong interactions between anions and cationsare represented through specic association sites. Vega et al.52

    used soft-SAFT to describe the LLE of water + imidazolium-based ILs,53 using three maximum association sites mimickingthe strong interactions between the anion and the cation.Paduszynski and Doman ska used the Perturbed-ChainStatistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) to calculatethe LLE and the SLE of water + ILs. The authors modeled theILs using ten association sites to represent the cationanioninteractions.54 Nann et al.55 modeled 1-butanol + IL mixtureswith the 2B association approach for ILs in order to predict theLLE of water +1-butanol + IL systems accurately with PC-SAFT. Ji et al.56 used ePC-SAFT to predict the CO2 solubilitiesin ILs with pure-IL parameters obtained from the tting topure-IL liquid densities.In this work, the VLE (T,x) of several systems composed of

    water + imidazolium-based ILs, covering dierent families ofanions, were experimentally measured at dierent pressures andin a broad composition range. In addition, the PC-SAFT EoS,using two association sites per molecular IL, was used todescribe the experimental data. PC-SAFT parameters for themolecular ILs were regressed to pure-IL density data, VLE andwater activity coecient data of the studied mixtures. In asecond step, these parameters were applied to predict the waterinnite dilution activity coecients of some water + IL systemsand a comparison with literature and experimental datameasured in this work is presented and discussed.The physical properties of pure ILs and the phase behavior of

    water + IL mixtures strongly depend on the IL cation andanion.57 In this work, new insights regarding IL-waterinteractions were inferred through the new experimental dataand the respective PC-SAFT modeling.

    EXPERIMENTAL SECTIONMaterials. Eight imidazolium-based ILs were investigated,

    namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triuoromethanesulfonate([C4C1im][CF3SO3]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocya-nate ([C4C1im][SCN]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate([C4C1im][TOS]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triuoroace-

The chemical structures of these ILs areshown in Figure 1. The ILs were obtained from IoLiTec

    (Germany), with mass fraction purities higher than 98 wt %. Toreduce the content of water and volatile organics to negligiblevalues, high vacuum (103 Pa) and stirring at moderatetemperature (303 K), for a period of at least 48 h, wereapplied prior to the measurements. The nal water content ofthe ILs was determined with a Metrohm 831 Karl Fischercoulometer (Switzerland), using the Hydranal-Coulomat Efrom Riedel-de Haen as analyte, indicating a water massfraction percentage lower than 30 106 wt %. The purity ofeach IL was further conrmed by 1H and 13C NMR using aBruker Avance 300 spectrometer (Germany). The water usedwas double distilled and deionized.Experimental Equipment. VaporLiquid Equilibria. The

    VLE studies were carried out in an isobaric microebulliometerat dierent xed pressures of 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 MPa. Theisobaric microebulliometer apparatus used, and methodology isdescribed in detail elsewhere.43

    The equilibrium temperature of the liquid phase wasmeasured, with an uncertainty of 0.05 K, with a fast responseglass-sealed Pt100 class 1/10, which was calibrated prior to themeasurements by comparison with a NIST-certied FlukeRTD25 standard thermometer (U.S.A.). The internal pressureof the ebulliometer was kept constant through a vacuum pumpBuchi V-700 and a V-850 Buchi (Switzerland), for pressuremonitoring and pressure controller unit. Pressure was measuredwith a Baratron type capacitance Manometer, MKS model728A (U.S.A.), with an accuracy of 0.5%. This equipment wasplaced in the vacuum line away from the microebulliometer.Equilibrium was assumed after 30 min of constant and smoothboiling (reux) at constant pressure. The mixture compositionwas determined with an Anton Paar Abbemat 500 Refrac-tometer (Austria), with an uncertainty of 2 105 nD, using acalibration curve established prior to the measurements. Theadequacy of the apparatus to measure this type of systems was

    previously conrmed.43 Additionally, the apparatus was appliedto measure the VLE of pure compounds (ethanol, water, p-xylene, and decane) covering the temperature range of interestfor the water + IL systems studied in this work. An uncertaintyof the boiling temperatures of 0.1 K was observed. The IL waskept under moderate vacuum (1 Pa) for at least 30 min beforethe measurements to ensure no water absorption fromatmosphere during equilibration.

    Activity Coecients at Innite Dilution. Inverse chroma-tography experiments were carried out using a Bruker 450-GCgas chromatograph equipped with a heated on-column injectorand a TCD detector. The injector and detector temperatureswere kept constant at 523 K during all experiments. To obtainadequate retention times, the helium ow rate was adjusted. Airwas used to determine the column hold-up time. Exit gas owrates were measured with a soap bubble ow meter. Thetemperature of the oven was determined with a Pt100 probeand controlled with an uncertainty of 0.1 K. A computerdirectly recorded the detector signals and the correspondingchromatograms were generated using the Galaxie Chromatog-raphy Software. Using a rotary evaporation preparatorytechnique, 1.0 m length columns were packed with a stationaryphase, consisting of 0.20 to 0.35 mass fraction of IL onChromosorb WHP (6080 mesh) sorbent media. After thesolvent (ethanol) evaporation, under vacuum, the support wasleft to equilibrate, at 333 K during 6 h. Prior to themeasurements, each packed column was conditioned for 12 hat 363 K with a helium ow rate of 20 cm3min1. The packinglevel was calculated from the masses of the packed and emptycolumns and was checked throughout experiments. The weightof the stationary phase was determined with a precision of0.0003 g. A headspace sample volume of (15) 103 cm3was injected to satisfy innite dilution conditions. In order toconrm reproducibility, each experiment was repeated at leastthrice. Retention times were rigorously reproducible with anuncertainty of 0.52 s. To verify the stability under theseexperimental conditions, ruling out elution of the stationaryphase by the helium stream, measurements of retention timewere repeated systematically each day for three solutes. Nochanges in the retention times were observed during this study.The retention data garnered by inverse chromatography

    experiments were used to calculate partition coecients ofwater in the dierent ILs. The standardized retention volume,VN, was calculated following the relationship:

    0 , was determined fromexperimental densities, and the partial molar volumes of thewater at innite dilution, Vw

    , were assumed to be equal to Vw0 .

    The values required for the calculation of these parameterswere taken from previous works.60

    Degree of Dissociation. The degree of dissociation of the[C4C1im]Br and [C4C1im]Cl aqueous mixtures was deter-mined through electrical conductivity with a Mettler ToledoS47 SevenMultiTMdual meter pH/conductivity, coupled withan InLab741 Conductivity Probe as electrode. Aqueoussolutions of [C4C1im]Br and [C4C1im]Cl with concentrationranging between 0.5 and 2.5 molL1 were prepared and usedto measure the electrical conductivities (cf. SupportingInformation). Finally, the degree of dissociation wasdetermined using the following equation:

    = 0 (4)

    where is the molar conductivity and 0 is the molarconductivity at innite dilution. The molar conductivity atinnite dilution was extrapolated through the representation ofmolar conductivity in function of IL concentration.Thermodynamic Modeling. PC-SAFT. In this work, PC-

    SAFT61,62 was applied to describe experimental pure-IL andwater + IL mixture data. The PC-SAFT EoS is based on therst-order thermodynamic perturbation theory6366 that uses asystem of freely jointed hard spheres as reference, designated ashard-chain system. PC-SAFT, as other SAFT approaches, isespecially suited to treat chain molecules, and it is henceappropriate to consider IL systems.In PC-SAFT the dimensionless residual Helmholtz energy,

    ares, is dened as

    = + + +a a a a ares hc disp assoc polar (5)where the superscripts refer to the terms accounting for theresidual, hard-chain uid, dispersive, associative, and polarinteractions, respectively. The polar term was not considered inthis work as previous studies reported that the polar term hasonly a slight inuence on the PC-SAFT description of ILsystems, even for non-negligible dipole moments.67

    In PC-SAFT, a nonassociating component i is provided withthree pure-component parameters, namely the segmentnumber, mi

    seg, the segment diameter, i, and the van derWaals interaction (dispersion) energy parameter between twosegments, ui/kB, in which kB is the Boltzmann constant. Forassociating molecules, PC-SAFT requires two additionalparameters, which are the association-energy parameter, AiBi/kB, and the association-volume parameter, k

    AiBi. For each IL twoassociation sites (the 2B association scheme) were applied.68

    The conventional LorenzBerthelot combining rules areused for mixtures and described according to

    = +12( )ij i j (6)

    = u u u k(1 )ij i j ij (7)where kij is a binary parameter between two components i and jfor the correction of the cross-dispersion energy. In this work,the ILs were considered to be present as ion pairs and thusdispersion among IL molecules was taken into account. Incontrast, chargecharge interactions among the ILs wereneglected.Simple combining rules for cross-association interactions

    between two substances were suggested by Wolbach andSandler69 and used in this work:

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONExperimental Results. The boiling temperatures of seven

    water + IL systems were measured at three dierent pressures(0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 MPa) in a broad composition range using amicroebulliometer designed by us for studying IL mixtures andpreviously validated and described elsewhere.43 For the systemsstudied here, only the binary mixture formed by water +[C4C1im][CF3SO3] was previously reported by Orchilles etal.71 A good agreement between our data and literature wasobserved with an average relative deviation, ARD (eq 15),between the two data sets, of only 0.22%. The boilingtemperatures of the water + [C4C1im]Cl system used in thiswork were previously reported.43

    The experimental VLE data for the systems measured in thiswork at 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 MPa are listed in Tables S4S10 inSupporting Information. The results obtained at 0.1 MPa aredepicted in Figure 2. The data show that all the ILs studiedincrease the boiling temperature of the related aqueousmixtures in dierent extents. The inuence of ILs throughthe boiling temperatures follows the order: [C4C1im][CF3SO3]

This order clearly shows that the PC-SAFTassociation strength is in agreement with the experimentallyobserved sequence of water activity coecients, meaning thatthe waterIL interactions due to hydrogen bonding arecorrectly being taken into account within the PC-SAFTframework.The results obtained for the segment number (mi

    seg) and thesegment diameter (i) are within reasonable ranges. Thesegment diameter varies between 2.75 for [C4C1im][C1SO3]and 3.60 for [C4C1im]Br. The segment numbers oscillateconsiderably with the anion that constitutes the IL. Thesegment number and the segment diameter parameters of theILs depend linearly on the molecular weight (Mw) according tothe following equation:

This parameter does not dependlinearly on the molecular weight.The tting errors of the pure-IL density, water activity

  • experimental data, respectively. These values are listed in Table1.PC-SAFT pure-IL densities are in good agreement with the

    experimental data with small deviations. To give an example,the ARD values range between 0.42% for the pure-IL densitiesof [C4C1im]Br and 2.53% for [C4C1im][C1CO2], as depictedin Figure 7.

    The modeling results obtained with the PC-SAFT for thewater + IL binary systems are presented hereafter. Atemperature-independent binary interaction parameter (kij),tted to VLE data at 0.1 MPa and water activity coecients at298.15 K,93 was used for each binary system. Some of theresults obtained are illustrated in Figure 8, where the activitycoecients are shown as function of the molality of the IL (i.e.,mole of IL per kg of water solvent). It can be observed, fromFigure 8, that PC-SAFT provides a good description of the

    behavior of both the more and the less hydrophobic ILs. TheARD values range between 1.59% for [C4C1im][C1SO3] and5.28% for [C4C1im][C1CO2].The PC-SAFT modeling of the VLE for the systems

    measured in this work are presented in Figures 3 and 4 forthe ILs [C4C1im][CF3SO3] and [C4C1im][C1SO3], respec-tively. The results are in good agreement with the experimentaldata: 0.1 MPa with an overall ARD of 3.04%. As expected, thewater activity coecients at 0.1 MPa for the binary systems arealso well described by PC-SAFT, as observed in Figure 5. It isalso shown that PC-SAFT can successfully be used to predictthe VLE data at 0.07 and 0.05 MPa with an overall ARD of3.82% and 5.20%, respectively. It should be emphasized that allIL pure-component PC-SAFT parameters and binary inter-action parameters are temperature independent.Finally, PC-SAFT was applied to predict the water activity

    coecients at innite dilution in ILs. In fact, for the ILs studiedin this work, the experimental data for the water activitycoecients cover very large concentration ranges in most cases.However, data at such high IL molalities are dicult (andsometimes impossible depending on the IL) to experimentallydetermine due to solubility, viscosity, or decompositionconcerns. Thus, it is strongly desirable to have a model thatis able to estimate the water activity coecients at innitedilution either predicting them or by extrapolation of theavailable data. Table 2 lists experimental water activity

    coecients at innite dilution for the ILs under study. Forthose for which no data were available in literature,14,23,28 theywere measured in this work. The absolute deviation and theaverage absolute deviation between the experimental data andPC-SAFT predicted values were calculated through eqs 16 and17 and are presented in Table 2.

    The PC-SAFT modeling used the model parameters presentedin Table 1 tted to VLE and water activity coecients at niteconcentrations and not to activity coecients at innitedilution. The results appear to be quite promising as themodel provides a satisfactorily prediction of the experimentalwater activity coecients at innite dilution.

  • agreement except for [C4C1im]Br and [C4C1im]Cl. Availabilityof activity coecients in a minimum concentration range seemsthus to be required for an adequate prediction of the innitedilution activity coecients. For [C4C1im]Br and [C4C1im]Cl,this range seems to be insucient.

    CONCLUSIONSVLE data for seven water + imidazolium-based IL systemscovering dierent families of anions at three dierent pressureswere measured in this work. The results indicate that theimidazolium-based ILs studied cause boiling-point elevations ofdierent degrees according to the interaction strengths betweenwater and the IL that mainly depends on the nature of the ILanion.The PC-SAFT equation of state was used for the description

    of the experimental data. The PC-SAFT pure-componentparameters and the binary interaction parameter weredetermined by a simultaneous tting to pure-IL densities,water activity coecients at 298.15 K, and VLE data at 0.10MPa. The binary interaction parameters were considered to betemperature independent. This set of parameters allowed forquantitative modeling the pure-IL density, water activitycoecients at 298.15 K, and the VLE at 0.10 MPa for thewater + IL binary mixtures. VLE at pressures dierent from0.10 MPa can be predicted reasonably with PC-SAFT by usingbinary interaction parameters tted to VLE data at 0.10 MPa.Moreover, PC-SAFT is capable to satisfactorily predict wateractivity coecients at innite dilution for systems where modelparameters were adjusted to water activity coecients at low ILmolalities.
