'Ternary excess molar volumes of {methyltrioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide + ethanol + methyl acetate, or ethyl acetate} systems at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K.' The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics 42,3 (2010): 726-733.http://hdl.handle.net/10321/851The activity coefficient at infinite dilution for 30 solutes: alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, alkynes, ketones, alcohols, and aromatic compounds was determined from gas–liquid chromatography (glc) measurements at three temperatures (303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K. The ionic liquid: trioctylmethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, was used as the stationary phase. For each temperature, values were determined using two columns with different mass percent packing of the ionic liquid. The selectivity value was calculated from the to determine the suitability of the solvent as a potential entrainer for extractive distillation in the separation of an hexane/benzene mixture, indicative of a typical industrial separation problem for benchmarking purposes.6 p.enThe electronic version of the article published in The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics 2010, 42(2): 256-261 © 2010 copyright Elsevier.
