The thermophysical properties of the binary mixtures containing biofuel components derived from biomass were determined. Experimental densities, speed of sound, and refractive indices for the binary mixtures (methanol or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [EMIM][OAc] + furfural or furfuryl alcohol ) were measured at T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15) K. From the experimental data, excess molar volume, E m V , isentropic compressibility, s  , molar refractions, R, and deviation in refractive index, Δn, were calculated. The excess molar volumes were found to be negative for all systems studied. The isentropic compressibility were found to be both positive for the whole composition and temperature range and increases slightly with increasing temperature. The deviation in refractive index was positive over the whole composition range. The obtained values of excess molar volumes and changes of refractive index on mixing were satisfactorily correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation. The Lorentz–Lorenz equation was applied to predict the density and calculate the excess molar volume of the binary mixtures.

The alkyl or alkanol amines are widely used as absorbent for CO2 capture owing to interaction between amines and CO2. In order to increase the CO2 loading in amine based absorbents, blending of amine with alkanol may be one option. As thermophysical properties of of utmost importance in designing, in present work, the refractive index of dibutylamine (DBA) and isomeric butanol as well as their binary mixtures at 298.15 K to 308.15 K were measured. The Δn are found positive for DBA + isomeric butanol mixtures. The Δn values were correlated with Redlich-Kister polynomial. The refractive index data were also predicted by various correlations and results were expressed in terms of standard deviation. The Δn values were also employed to calculate the excess molar volume of the present binary mixtures. Further Δn data analysed in terms of intermolecular interaction among DBA (1) + isomeric butanol (2) mixtures.

Densities (p) are presented for aqueous binary mixtures of ethane-1,2-diol at different mole fractions covering the whole miscibility field and at various temperatures (t) in the -10 ≤ t/°C ≤ +80 range. The values of the excess molar volume ( VE ) are discussed in terms of: ( i ) the influence of interactions between the components; (ii) order and degree of packing in the pure species and in the mixtures; (iii) free volume differences.

The excess molar volumes of twenty two binary mixtures containing various groups of organic compounds: alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol and glycerol), ketone (acetone), ester (butyl lactate), lactam (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone), PEGs (PEG 200, PEG 400) and aromatics (benzene, toluene and pyridine) were predicted from the refractive index data, using three types of equations coupled with several mixing rules for refractive index calculations: the Lorentz-Lorenz, Dale-Gladstone, Eykman, Arago-Biot, Newton, and Oster. The obtained results were analysed in terms of the applied equation and mixing rule and the nature of interactions between the mixtures? components.

Thermodynamic interactions in 2-methoxyethanol (component 1)+1,2-dimethoxyethane (component 2) binary mixtures have been studied in terms of the excess molar volume from the densities, measured at 19 temperatures between -10 and 80°C, for nine binary mixtures covering the whole miscibility field expressed by the mole fraction 0 ≤ X1 ≤ 1. Excess molar volumes are discussed in terms of induced conformational changes in each component in the presence of the other. The present findings support a hypothesis about the formation of a solvent-cosolvent complex species which has a well defined 1:1 stoichiometric composition and is thermostable under the experimental conditions.

In this work, the binary and ternary excess molar volumes have been calculated from the density, ρ, measurements using an Anton Paar (DMA 38) vibrating tube digital densimeter. One component of the ternary systems studied was an ionic liquid. The ionic liquid used is methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [MOA]+[Tf2N]-. Binary excess molar volumes were obtained for (1-butanol + ethyl acetate) and (2-butanol + ethyl acetate) systems at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. Ternary excess molar volumes were obtained for the mixtures {[MOA]+[Tf2N]- + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate} at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. The Redlich-Kister equation was fitted to the calculated binary excess molar volume data to obtain the fitting parameters which were used to calculate the partial molar volumes at infinite dilution. The calculated partial molar volume was used to better understand the intermolecular interactions of each component at infinite dilution. The Redlich-Kister parameters were also used in the Cibulka equation and the Cibulka equation was used to correlate the ternary excess molar volume data to give the fitting parameters. The binary excess molar volumes,VmE , for the (1-butanol + ethyl acetate) and (2-butanol + ethyl acetate) are positive at each temperature over the entire composition range. At high mole fractions of the alcohol for the binary systems (2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate), VmE is positive again, similar to the Cibulka ternary correlation. The positive V E m values are due to the breaking of intermolecular interactions in the pure components during the mixing process. The ternary excess molar volume,V E 123 , values are negative for all mole fractions. The negative values are due to a more efficient packing and/ or attractive intermolecular interactions in the mixtures than in the pure liquid. There is also a contraction in volume which can be attributed to electron-donor-acceptor type interactions between the ionic liquid and 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol as well as ethyl acetate.
