- Viscosity measurements of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EMIM OTf) at high pressures using the vibrating wire techniquePublication . Sequeira, Maria Carolina; Avelino, Helena Maria Da Nóbrega Teixeira; Caetano, Fernando J. P.; Fareleira, J.M.N.A.The goal of the present work is to contribute to the characterization of ionic liquids by measuring their viscosity at high pressures. As 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EMIM OTf) has been used as a solvent in CO2 capture processes, the temperature and pressure ranges of the measurements cover the intervals used in those processes. Measurements of the viscosity of EMIM OTf along five isotherms in the range (298-358) K and at pressures up to 50 MPa, have been performed using the vibrating wire technique in the forced mode of operation. As far as the authors are aware, these are the first measurements of this ionic liquid at pressures higher than 0.1 MPa, to be published. The viscosity results were correlated with the molar volume, using a modified hard-spheres model. The root mean square (sigma) deviation of the data from the correlation is less than 0.5% The expanded uncertainty of the present viscosity data is estimated as +/- 2.0% at a 95% confidence level. As a complement, the pressure-viscosity coefficient has been calculated within the temperature range of the present results. Previous studies of the influence of the electric conductivity of ionic liquids, including EMIM OTf, in the vibrating wire method, have been taken into account for the present work. Complementary measurements of the density have been performed along seven isotherms in the temperature range from (298-363) K and pressures from (0.1-70) MPa. The density measurements were carried out with an Anton Paar vibrating U-tube densimeter and the raw data were corrected for viscosity effects. The density results were correlated with the temperature and pressure using a modified Tait equation. The expanded uncertainty of the present density data is estimated as +/- 0.2% at a 95% confidence level.
- Density measurements of compressed dipropyl, dibutul, bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipates from (293 to 373K) at pressures up to about 68MPaPublication . Diogo, João C. F.; Avelino, Helena Maria Da Nóbrega Teixeira; Caetano, Fernando J. P.; Fareleira, JoãoThe article reports density measurements of dipropyl (DPA), dibutyl (DBA) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHA) adipates, using a vibrating U-tube densimeter, model DMA HP, from Anton Paar GmbH. The measurements were performed in the temperature range (293 to 373) K and at pressures up to about 68 MPa, except for DPA for which the upper limits were 363 K and 65 MPa, respectively. The density data for each liquid was correlated with the temperature and pressure using a modified Tait equation. The expanded uncertainty of the present density results is estimated as 0.2% at a 95% confidence level. No literature density data at pressures higher than 0.1 MPa could be found. DEHA literature data at atmospheric pressure agree with the correlation of the present measurements, in the corresponding temperature range, within +/- 0.11%. The isothermal compressibility and the isobaric thermal expansion were calculated by differentiation of the modified Tait correlation equation. These two parameters were also calculated for dimethyl adipate (DMA), from density data reported in a previous work. The uncertainties of isothermal compressibility and the isobaric thermal expansion are estimated to be less than +/- 1.7% and +/- 1.1%, respectively, at a 95% confidence level. Literature data of isothermal compressibility and isobaric thermal expansivity for DMA have an agreement within +/- 1% and +/- 2.4%, respectively, with results calculated in this work.
