Assessment of Pyrrolidinium-Based Ionic Liquid for the Separation of Binary Mixtures Based on Activity Coefficients at Infinite Dilution

Gas liquid chromatography was used to determine solute retention data for 33 volatile organic solvents: alkenes, alkanes, alkynes ketones, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, thiophene, and water in the new ionic liquid (IL) 2,3-dihydroxypropyl-N-methyl-2-oxopyrrolidinium chloride [(OH)2C3MPyr][Cl]. This work was conducted in order to evaluate the IL for use in separation processes, and the evaluation was based on the...
