Solubilities in Ionic Liquids and Molten Salts from a Simple Perturbed-Hard-Sphere Theory Yuan Qin and John M. Prausnitz* Department of Chemical Engineering, UniVersity of California, Berkeley, and Chemical Sciences DiVision, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720
In recent years, several publications have provided solubilities of ordinary gases and liquids in ionic liquids. This work reports an initial attempt to correlate the experimental data using a perturbed-hard-sphere theory; the perturbation is based on well-known molecular physics when the solution is considered as a dielectric continuum. For this correlation, the most important input parameters are the hard-sphere diameters of the solute and of the cation and anion that constitute the ionic liquid. In addition, the correlation uses the solvent’s density and the solute’s polarizability and dipole and quadrupole moments, if any. Dispersion-energy parameters are obtained from global correlation of solubility data. Results are given for 20 solutes in several ionic liquids at normal temperatures; in addition, some results are given for gases in two molten salts at very high temperatures. Because the theory used here is much simplified and because experimental uncertainties (especially for gaseous solutes) are often large, the accuracy of the correlation presented here is not high; in general, predicted solubilities (Henry’s constants) agree with experiment to within roughly ( 70%. As more reliable experimental data become available, modifications in the characteristic parameters are likely to improve accuracy. Nevertheless, even in its present form, the correlation might be useful for solvent screening in engineering design. 1. Introduction Although ionic liquids have been known for a long time, they have attracted significant attention only during the past 5-10 years. For most practical purposes, ionic liquids are electrolytes with melting points near or below 25 °C. At normal temperatures, these liquids have high dielectric constants; densities somewhat larger than that of water; and most important, negligible vapor pressures. Because they are nonvolatile at normal temperatures, ionic liquids might be useful as “green” solvents that do not pollute the atmosphere.1,2 Numerous reviews of ionic-liquid properties are now available, notably those by Heintz3 and by Poole.4 An increasing number of authors have reported experimental data for Henry’s constants of gases and for infinite-dilution activity coefficients of nonelectrolytes in ionic liquids.5-22 Toward the interpretation and correlation of solubility data, in addition to molecular simulations,23,24 Eike et al.25 have used quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs), and Diedenhofen et al.26 have used quantum-mechanical calculations (COSMO-RS) to correlate such data. In this work, we report an initial correlation of Henry’s constants for ordinary solutes in ionic liquids based on a perturbed-hard-sphere theory. A main advantage of our theory is its simplicity. Because it is based on several simplifying assumptions, it provides only approximate results. Nevertheless, these approximate results might be useful for engineering calculations, in particular, for screening possible ionic-liquid solvents for specific applications. As more reliable experimental solubility data become available, it is likely that modifications in our theory will improve its accuracy. 2. Theoretical Framework Numerous authors, notably Pierotti,27 have used perturbedhard-sphere theory for correlating solubilities in nonelectrolyte * To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail:

systems. Consistent with these earlier studies, we postulate that introducing a solute molecule into an ionic-liquid solvent consists of two steps: (1) creation of a cavity of solute size in the solvent and (2) charging of the cavity to the appropriate potential. As discussed elsewhere,27 the Henry’s constant H can be expressed as
ln(HVm/RT) ) Ghs/RT + Gi/RT
(1)
where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, Vm is the molar volume of the solvent, Ghs is the molar hard-sphere cavityformation energy, and Gi is the molar solute-solvent interaction energy. The ionic liquid consists of cation c and anion a. The hardsphere diameters of the cation, anion, and solute are σc, σa, and σs, respectively. Ghs is given by scaled-particle theory23

makes the last term in eq 2 negligible. However, on the basis of molecular simulations, Hu et al.29 reported that, when eq 4 is used with a more reasonable radial distribution function for the solvent, eq 2 gives better results. In this work, we use eqs 2 and 4. As used here, the hard-sphere theory considers the ionic liquid as an assembly of independent ions. An alternative view is to consider the ionic liquid as an assembly of ion pairs, as suggested by electrical conductivity measurements.30 The solvent molecule is polarizable and might have a dipole and/or quadrupole moment. Therefore Gi consists of four parts, reflecting contributions from dispersion, induction, dipolecharge interactions, and quadrupole-charge interactions

Recent work by Wakai et al.33 suggests that dielectric constants for typical ionic liquids are in the range 9-15. Substituting eqs 2, 5, 9, 13, and 14 into eq 1 and using the simplification D . 1, we obtain an expression for Henry’s constant

where j and s are dispersion-energy parameters of ion j and solute s, respectively. To calculate the electrostatic contributions, we consider the solvent as a dielectric continuum with dielectric constant D and the solute in a cavity of diameter a in the dielectric continuum.31,32 This continuum theory differs from that using a summation of particle-particle interactions as given in eqs 2 and 6 to calculate the hard-sphere and dispersion contributions. Diameter a is not necessarily the same as the diameter of the solute; in general, a is somewhat larger than σs. Following Onsager’s31,32 suggestion for a cavity in a pure fluid, we use

(15) 3. Data Correlation In eq 15, Henry’s constant depends on temperature T and on solvent molar volume Vm. The solvent is characterized by two ionic diameters, σc and σa, and two dispersion-energy parameters, c and a. The solute is characterized by diameter σs, dispersion-energy parameter s, and polarizability Rs. For polar solute molecules, we also need the dipole moment µ and quadrupole moment Q. For high-temperature molten salts, we use ion diameters given by Pauling.34 For ionic liquids, each ion diameter is estimated according to the ion’s structure1 and then slightly adjusted as dictated by an overall examination of the solubility data. The densities of ionic liquids are from refs 16, 17, and 35-37, and those of molten salts are from the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.38 Solute polarizabilities, dipole moments, and some of the quadrupole moments are from Gray and Gubbins39 and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.38 The quadrupole moments of relatively complex molecules are estimated from molecular structure. Because quadrupole data are not available for 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, and toluene, we assume that these liquids have the same quadrupole moment as ethylene and that toluene has the same quadrupole moment as benzene. The diameter of the solute, the dispersion-energy parameter of

where Ps and φs are the saturation pressure and saturation fugacity coefficient of the pure solute, respectively. Ps and φs of the solutes are given by Krummen et al.16 We correlate Henry’s constants of gases at high temperatures in two molten salts, NaCl and RbCl, and at ordinary temperatures in two ionic liquids, [BMIM][PF6] and [BMIM][BF4]. We also correlate Henry’s constants of organic solutes in 10 ionic liquids. Because we require numerous parameters, we adjust the parameters by trial and error to achieve global agreement with experimental data. Results are given in Figures 1-4 and in Tables 1-10. Tables 11 and 12 give parameters for ions and for solutes. Table 13 gives sources for experimental solubility data.

In many cases, experimental Henry’s constants for gases are subject to considerable uncertainty, especially for those gases whose solubilities are very small. In some cases, for the same system, different laboratories report appreciably different experimental results. Nevertheless, calculated Henry’s constants are in reasonable agreement with experiment. Although our results for hydrogen do not show the reported minimum near 314 K, we do not know whether the experimentally observed weak minimum is real.

The results reported in Figures 1-4 and Tables 1-10 suggest that calculated Henry’s constants agree with experiment within about (70%. This uncertainty is similar to that observed when Henry’s constants for ordinary systems are correlated with perturbed-hard-sphere theory. 4. Conclusion The correlation presented here is necessarily preliminary because, as yet, the experimental database is small. Further, there is considerable uncertainty in the measured Henry’s constants for gases. As more reliable experimental data become available,
