Interfacial tension, electrical conductivity, NMR self-diffusion and DLS experiments have been used to investigate the self-aggregation in water of ionic liquids associating an ibuprofenate anion and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium [C(n)MIm](+) (n = 4, 6, 8) cations. Despite the short alkyl chain on imidazolium cations (n ≤ 8), these ionic liquids exhibit particularly low Critical Aggregation Conce...

The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution by some ionic liquids (ILs) namely, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate [HMIM][TfO], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [HMIM][BF4], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HMIM][PF6], and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide [HMIM][I] was investigated using electrochemical measurements, spectroscopic...

The present work reported density, viscosity, speed of sound, electrical conductivity and refractive index data of L-alanine in the aqueous solutions of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ibuprofenate at T= 298.15 K. Using the measured data, partial molar volume of transfer ( ), partial molar isentropic compressibility of transfer ( ), viscosity B-coefficient of transfer (∆traB), ion association const...

Modified cold-induced aggregation microextraction (M-CIAME) is a fast and simple method for extraction and preconcentration of metal ions from samples with high salt content. Furthermore, this technique is much safer in comparison with the organic solvent extraction. The extraction of palladium (Pd) was performed in the presence of Michler thioketone (TMK) as the complexing agent. In this metho...

Molecular dynamics simulations are obtained and analyzed to study pairing of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium and tetrafluoroborate ions in n-pentanol, in particular by evaluating the potential-of-mean-force between counter ions. The present molecular model and simulation accurately predicts the dissociation constant K(d) in comparison to experiment, and thus the behavior and magnitudes for the ion-...

We report measurements of thermal diffusivity of several room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) using the transient grating method. Measurements are carried out using ionic liquids with small concentrations of an inert dye that is excited by the 532 nm output of a Nd:YAG laser in a grating with a fringe spacings of (92 and 104) μm. The experiments give thermal diffusivities from which thermal c...

The electrical conductivities of the dilute solutions containing ionic liquids (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Hmim]Cl, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [Hmim]Br, and iodide [Hmim]I) with water isopropanol were determined in temperature ranging from 293.15 to 313.15 K. liquid densities all binary mixtures further for model parameterization. In theoretical modeling, limiting molar Λ0(T...

The pH-profiles of the extraction of Cs(+) into four conventional (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and bis[trifluoromethyl)sulphonyl]imides of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium, and 1-(2-ethylhexyl)-3- methylimidazolium) and two novel (trioctylmethylammonium salicylate and tetrahexylammonium dihexylsulfosuccinate) room temperature ionic liquids have been d...

In this work, the ethanol fuel dehydration process was optimized using Aspen Plus? simulator and a multivariate statistical technique based on desirability function. The suitability of ionic liquids 1-methylimidazolium chloride ([Mim][Cl]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Emim][Cl]), 1-butyl- -3-methylimidazolium ([Bmim][Cl]) 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Hmim][Cl]), as extractive distillation en...
