The solubility of a single gas as well as the simultaneous solubility of several gases in an ionic liquid is of great interest in many areas of chemical engineering, particularly in heterogeneous catalysis. One of the most interesting features involved in the study of the simultaneous solubility of several gases in a pure ionic liquid is the difference between experimental data and predictions for the simultaneous solubility (based on experimental data for the solubility of the single gases). The well soluble gas might act as a cosolvent or as an antisolvent for a sparsely soluble second gas. New experimental results and a correlation are presented for the simultaneous solubility of hydrogen (i.e., a sparsely soluble gas) and carbon dioxide (a well soluble gas) in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([hmim][Tf2N]) at temperatures between 293 K and 373 K and pressures up to about 9.2 MPa. The experimental results reveal that carbon dioxide acts as a cosolvent for hydrogen in that particular ionic liquid. A correlation shows that the cosolvency effect can be modeled by considering interaction parameters between hydrogen and carbon dioxide in liquid [hmim][Tf2N]. The correlation can also be used to quantify that cosolvency effect: one mole of carbon dioxide in 1000 g of [hmim][Tf2N] increases the solubility of (small amounts of) hydrogen by about 20%.
Experimental results are reported for the solubility of carbon dioxide in liquid mixtures of water and the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([bmim][CH3SO4]). Three (gas-free) solvent compositions were considered with mass fractions of [bmim][CH3SO4] of w' ≈ 0.15, 0.50, and 0.87 (mole fractions x' ≈ 0.013, 0.066, and 0.33). In the isothermal experimental series, the temperature was about (293, 333, and 373) K. The total pressure ranged up to about 10 MPa. The molality of carbon dioxide in the solvent mixture of (water + [bmim][CH3SO4]) (the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in the liquid) ranged up to approximately 1.64 mol·kg1 (about 0.0332). The experimental results are used to determine Henry's constant of carbon dioxide in the liquid mixtures of (water + [bmim][CH3SO4]) as well as the partial molar volume of that gas at infinite dilution in those solvent mixtures. The phase equilibrium is described by applying an extension (to solvent mixtures) of Pitzer's molality scale-based equation for the Gibbs excess energy.
