| dc.description.abstract | Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been ascribed as alternative solvents in separation processes or chemical reactions. This research is concerned with the study of density, ?, viscosity, ?, and surface tension, ?, over the mole fractions of (0.1000 to 1.000) mol and temperature from (293.15 to 333.15) K for ternary mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate (EMIM DEP)/1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate (MMIM DMP), water, and 1-propanol/2-propanol. As the temperature increased, surface tension and density results for all the multicomponent mixtures show a linear descending trend. Adversely, viscosity results indicate polynomial descending trend. At the whole ranges of temperature, the density, surface tension and viscosity data show a significant gap between mole fractions of ionic liquid. These experimental results have been evaluated and the most prominent polynomial or linear regressions were obtained. The most prominent correlation for density and surface tension for all four systems were obtained using a linear equation. In contrast, the best correlation for viscosity data was obtained using a second order polynomial equation. On the other view, the experimental density and surface tension data decrease linearly with mole fraction of ionic liquid. The Jouyban-Acree model was used to correlate the density, surface tension, and viscosity of the studied mixtures at different temperatures. The accuracy of the model was evaluated and the absolute percentage error (APER) for each correlation was less than 6%. é 2014 American Chemical Society. | |
