Abstract

This study aims to use Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) to describe the phase behavior of systems containing DESs and ILs. The DESs are based on Tetrabutylammonium chloride ([N4444]Cl) and Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as hydrogen bond acceptors, and levulinic acid (LevA) and Diethylene Glycol (DEG) as hydrogen bond donors in the mole ratio of 1:2 and 1:4, respectively. The predicted phase equilibrium data from PC-SAFT has been compared to those from COSMO-RS and NRTL predictions. ILs studied in this work are low viscosity ether-functionalized pyridinium-based ILs [EnPy][NTf2] and [CmPy][NTf2], while 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidiniumbis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-amide) ([COC2mPYR][NTf2]) and 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{trifluoromethylsulfonyl}imide ([Pmim][NTf2]) were used for the study of the LLE systems with n-heptane + thiophene and n-hexane + ethylbenzene, respectively. In the last part, mixtures of linear alkanes and perfluoroalkanes have been studied to predict the phase behavior of perfluoroalkylalkanes with their linear alkane counterparts and comparisons have been made against SAFT-Mie pair potential.
