Abstract
Over the last decade, ionic liquids (IL) have attracted considerable attention for their potential to replace traditional volatile organic solvents due to their well-known physico-chemistry properties. This is an important topic for industrial applications today, and have been the subject of extensive literature studies. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of experimental thermodynamics data on aqueous mixtures, i.e., ionic liquids + water, especially volumetric and transport properties. These data could provide essential information about interactions and molecular phenomena in such mixtures. To investigate volumetric and transport properties for ionic liquids + water, density and viscosity data of the protic ionic liquids 2-hydroxydiethanolamine formate (2-HDEAF), 2-hydroxydiethanolamine acetate (2-HDEAA), water and their binary mixtures were measured at T = (293.15 to 343.15) K and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volumes and deviation of viscosity were computed from experimental density and viscosity values and were fit to the Redlich-Kister equation. We observed a negative behavior for both ionic liquids + water mixtures that can be attributed to a shrinkage of the mixtures.
