In the last two decades, the solubility of gases in ionic liquids has attracted a lot of attention. While at the beginning most publications dealt with the solubility of a single gas in a pure ionic liquid, recently the interest starts to shift to the – from an application-oriented point of view – more challenging area of the simultaneous solubility of several gases in an ionic liquid and/or the solubility of a single gas in solvent mixtures with ionic liquids. The current state of information on experimental data (and the phenomena encountered) in such systems is summarized and discussed.
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]
