Thermodynamics and limiting activity coefficients measurements for organic solutes and water in the ionic liquid 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidzolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide

Bio-fuels like alcohols, including butan-1-ol are produced from biomass by fermentation, and distillation. Ionic liquids (ILs) are novel attractive solvents, which can be used for removing butan-1-ol from the aqueous fermentation broth. In this work, the 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [DoMIM][NTf2] is proposed as an extractive solvent. The temperature of fusion and the enthalpy of fusion, obtained with DSC,...
