The speed of sound in and the viscosity and refractive index of two ternary mixtures (I) toluene + n-heptane + n-hexane and (II) cyclohexane + n-heptane + n-hexane, and six binary combinations of these constituents have been measured experimentally. The excess values of these properties are calculated and the results are analysed using the Bertrand–Acree–Burchfield (BAB) model. All the experimental and theoretical values are in fairly reasonable agreement.

Abstract In this study, new experimental data using a reliable approach are reported for solid-fluid phase equilibrium of ternary mixtures of Methane-Carbon-dioxide- n-Hexadecane for 30-73 mol% CO2 and pressures up to 24 MPa. The effect of varying CO2 composition on the overall phase transition of the systems were investigated. Three thermodynamic models were used to predict the liquid phase fugacity, this includes the Peng Robison equation of state (PR-EoS), Soave Redlich-Kwong equation of state (SRK-EoS) and the Cubic plus Association (CPA) equation of state with the classical mixing rule and a group contribution approach for calculating binary interaction parameters in all cases. To describe the wax (solid) phase, three activity coefficient models based on the solid solution theory were investigated: the predictive universal quasichemical activity coefficients (UNIQUAC), Universal quasi-chemical Functional Group activity coefficients (UNIFAC) and the predictive Wilson approach. The solid-fluid equilibria experimental data gathered in this experimental work including those from saturated and under-saturated conditions were used to check the reliability of the various phase equilibria thermodynamic models.

Density, refractive index, speed of sound, and viscosity have been measured of binary mixture dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) + isopropylbenzene (CUMENE) over the whole composition range at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K and atmospheric pressure. From these experimental measurements the excess molar volume, deviations in viscosity, molar refractivity, speed of sound, and isentropic compressibility have been calculated. These deviations have been correlated by a polynomial Redlich-Kister equation to derive the coefficients and standard error. The viscosities have furthermore been correlated with two or three parameter models, that is, herric correlation and McAllister model, respectively.

In this study the experimental density, speed of sound, and refractive index for binary mixtures of an ionic liquid (IL): 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate and activity coefficients at infinite dilution of organic solutes in the ionic liquid: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate were determined. The density, speed of sound, and refractive index of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate in pyridine or acetonitrile or thiophene have been reported at T = 298.15 K, 303.15 K, 308.15 K, 313.15 K and 318.15 K using an Anton Paar DSA 5000M vibrating U-tube densimeter and a RXA 156 refractometer. The derived properties namely: excess molar volume, isentropic compressibility and change in refractive index were calculated from density, speed of sound and refractive index, respectively. The results are discussed in terms of molecular interactions (hydrogen bond, dipole-dipole, or ion-solvent or interactions). The negative deviation of excess molar volume and the positive deviation in change in refractive index clearly indicates the strong interaction of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate with pyridine or acetonitrile or thiophene in solution. The positive values of isentropic compressibility for the system indicates that the mixtures were more compressible than the ideal mixture. The Redlich Kister smoothing polynomial was used to fit the excess molar volume and deviation in isentropic compressibility data. The Lorentz-Lorenz equation was used to predict the experimental density, or refractive index data and to correlate the excess molar volume. Gas liquid chromatography was used to determine activity coefficients at infinite dilution for 28 polar and non-polar organic solute: alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, thiophene, pyridine and acetonitrile in an IL: 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM][HSO4]). The measured values of activity coefficients at infinite dilution for the solutes in [BMIM][HSO4] were carried out at T = (313.15, 323.15, 333.15) K. Partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution of the organic solutes in the ionic liquid have been calculated from the temperature dependence of activity coefficients at infinite dilution. The selectivity and capacity values for separation problems namely: hexane/benzene, heptane/benzene, cyclohexane/benzene, ethanol/benzene, heptane/pyridine, heptane/thiophene and methanol/acetone at T = 323.15 K were calculated and compared to literature values for similar ionic liquids, sulfolane and N-methyl-2- pyrolidinone (NMP). The IL [BMIM][HSO4] gave both the highest selectivity and limiting capacity for the heptane/thiophene separation and would therefore be a suitable entrainer for this separation. New data from this study reveals that [BMIM][HSO4] may be proposed as a replacement solvent for the separation of sulphur or nitrogen compounds from alkanes.
