Thermophysical Properties of 1-Octyl-3-Methylimidazolium Acetate with Organic Solvents

الملخص EN

Ionic liquid (IL) usually possesses high viscosity.

In this work, the selected organic solvents, namely, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and N,N-dimethylformamide, were used as the diluents to lower IL viscosity.

The thermophysical properties of the densities and viscosities for the binary mixtures of IL (i.e., 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate) with solvents were studied at normal pressure in the temperature ranges of 303.15 K to 348.15 K.

The effects of the organic solvents on lowering IL viscosity were quantitatively evaluated.

The excess properties of the mixtures were calculated to analyze the interactions between IL and solvents.

The hard-sphere model was employed to reproduce the viscosity behavior of the pure substances and binary mixtures.
