Application of a synthesized ionic liquid for possible use in industrial separation problems: A useful tool for solvent selection

A novel ionic liquid (2′,3′-epoxypropyl-N-methyl-2-oxopyrrolidinium salicylate) was assessed for possible use in industrial separation problems. This was conducted using a gas liquid chromatography technique at different temperatures, T = (313.15 – 343.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. The molecular interactions within the ionic liquid were determined for 34 solutes (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ketones, aromatic compounds, sulphur...
