The Role of the Anion in Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids for Fuel and Terpenes Processing.

ABSTRACT: The potentialities of methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents were evaluated for some relevant separation problems-terpene fractionation and fuel processing-studying selectivities, capacities, and solvent performance indices. The activity coefficients at infinite dilution of the solute (1) in the IL (3), γ13∞, of 52 organic solutes were measured by inverse gas chromatography over a temperature range of 333.2-453.2 K. The selected ILs are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [C₄mim][PF₆], and the equimolar mixture of [C₄mim][PF₆] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C₄mim]Cl. Generally, low polar solutes follow γ1,C4mimCl∞ > γ1,C4mimPF6+C4mimCl∞ > γ1,C4mimPF6∞ while the opposite behavior is observed for
