Isobaric Vapor-Liquid Equilibria of 1-Propanol + Water plus Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Based Ionic Liquid Ternary Systems at 100 kPa

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for the 1-propanol + 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([beim][triflate]), water + [beim] [triflate], 1-propanol + 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([bmpyr][triflate]), and water + [bmpyr][triflate] binary systems, as well as the VLE for the 1-propanol + water + [beim][triflate] and 1-propanol + water + [bmpyr][triflate] ternary systems have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The salting-out effect on the 1-propanol produced by the [bmpyr][triflate] was stronger than that produced by the [beim][triflate], although for the IL concentrations used in this study the effect was not enough to break the azeotrope, unlike of that produced by the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]). The electrolyte nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model was used for fitting successfully the experimental data.
