The term „Alternative Solvents“ often refers to ionic liquids (ILs), mainly to distinguish these substances from traditional (i.e., molecular) solvents.
In applications, any „alternative“ is required to perform better than something that is proven and tested.
To bring ILs into practical use, availability and costs are the fundamental points to be addressed.
There are two ways to proceed:
▬ tailoring a molecule, implanting the expected characteristics
advantage: optimization of the targeted performance possible
risks: outcome not always foreseeable, costly and time-intensive (“trial and error“)
▬ to target on mixtures of well-characterized ILs with molecular solvents
advantage: substance characteristics are known, less costly, less time-consuming,
mixture composition another tunable parameter
risks: the same but with less impact
For the basic engineering of technical processes, knowledge of phase equilibria, particularly of
mixtures, over a broad (p,T) range is mandatory.
This contribution reports on recent experimental results from our laboratory:
▬ the solubility of CO2 in a mixture of water and [bmim][CH3SO4]
▬ the solubility of CO2 in a mixture of methanol and [bmim][PF6]
This work presents a first attempt to use ionic liquids as a new coating for planar coulometric sensors. These sensors are used for the measurement of trace humidity in various gases. Usually, the coating of the sensors is tetraphosphorus decaoxide and its hydrolysis products. Instead, a hygroscopic ionic liquid was used as sensor coating in this work. Generated frost point temperatures tf in the gas ranged from -80 °C to -30 °C, which is equivalent to vapour mole fractions xv from 0.5 μmol·mol-1 to 376 μmol·mol-1. In addition to the coulometric sensors, the generated humidity is determined by a precision dew point hygrometer as reference. First results show that it is possible to measure humidity withionic liquid based coulometric sensors.
