ABSTRACT

The modified UNIFAC-VISCO model was applied to evaluate the viscosity of (ionic

liquid + molecular solvent) mixtures as the function of the composition and

temperature at atmospheric pressure. The values of interaction parameters between

ionic groups, 𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖/𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 were collected from our previous paper (Zhao et al. J. Chem.

Eng. Data 61 (2016) 3908-3921), while the parameters between the common organic

groups, 𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜 were taken from Chevalier et al. (Chem. Eng. Sci. 49 (1994)

1799–1806). Another 376 unknown interaction parameters (𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜 and

𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜) were calculated by regression of 3365 experimental binary viscosity data

for 119 different binary systems as a function of temperature and component

composition. Then, this model was assessed through the evaluation of 781 viscosity

data points for 24 different binary systems not originally included in the correlation

set. The relative absolute average deviation (RAAD%) of the correlation and evaluation

for the viscosity of the investigated binary mixtures is close to 5.0% and 7.7%,

respectively, which proves that the UNIFAC-VISCO based method proposed in this

work is reliable for the estimation of the viscosity of ionic liquid-based binary mixtures.

1. INTRODUCTION

In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted the attention of scientific communities

due to their unique properties, such as chemical and thermal stability, high ionic

conductivity, low vapor pressure, and easy tuning of their physicochemical properties

by altering the cation, anion, or substituent [1]. Among the various properties,

viscosity property is of considerable importance in the design of heat transfer

equipment, liquid-liquid extractors, process piping, and other units [2]. For industrial

applications, IL-cosolvent mixtures are promising alternatives to traditional organic

liquids, since pure IL mixing with the organic liquid can confer a suitable viscosity to

the mixture [1]. Consequently, many modeling efforts have been reported in the

literature [1–13] regarding the viscosity of IL-cosolvent mixtures, used as electrolyte

solutions.

In this regard, literature models can be categorized as (i) simple correlation equations,

such as the Seddon [3], Grunberg-Nissan [9], and McAllister models [10]; (ii) Eyring’s

theory based methods, like the Eyring-UNIQUAC [11], Eyring-NRTL [12], Eyring-MTSM

[8], Eyring-Flory-Huggins [7], and Eyring-Wilson models [13]; and (iii) predictive

methods, for example, UNIFAC-VISCO [6] and ASOG-VISCO models [6].

Wang et al. [2] compared the Eyring-UNIQUAC model and the Eyring-NRTL model (𝛼𝛼

fixed at 0.25) in the case of 35 binary mixtures containing ILs with a total of 1014 data

points. The authors highlighted that a better evaluation of the viscosity could be

achieved by using the Eyring-UNIQUAC (RAAD% of 2.6%) than by using Eyring-NRTL

Page 5: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

(RAAD% of 3.5%). Bajić et al. [6] used the Seddon, Grunberg-Nissan, McAlister, Eyring-

UNIQUAC and Eyring-NRTL models to correlate the viscosity of 11 (IL + solvent) binary

systems covering a wide temperature range. Within, McAlister and the three-

parameter Eyring-NRTL models showed the best results with average percentage

deviations (PDmax) below 1% in all cases. It should be noted that the reference in the

denominator of the percentage deviation (PDmax) calculation is the maximum of

experimental values. The Seddon model gives the highest deviation above 1% in all

cases when compared with other correlative models, except for three cases; (2-

butanone + [C4mim][BF4]), (H2O + [C3mmim][BF4]), and (methyl methacrylate +

[C4mim][PF6]). Fang et al. [7] proposed a method based on the Eyring’s absolute

reaction rate theory, which was coupled with the Flory-Huggins equation, to estimate

the viscosity of 527 binary mixtures including 63 (IL + solvent) mixtures. The RAAD%

of the proposed method assessed using 2554 data points of the 63 ionic liquid

containing systems is close to 3.73% which shows a better viscosity predictive

capability than the Grunberg-Nissan equation (7.42%), for example. Furthermore,

Ciocirlan et al. [1] tested 6 methods (i.e. G-N, McAllister, Eyring-Flory-Huggins, Eyring-

UNIQUAC, Eyring-NRTL, and Eyring-Wilson) in terms of four binary systems

([C2mim][BF4] + dimethyl sulfoxide / ethylene glycol / acetonitrile / 1,4-dioxane) at

(293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 313.15, 323.15, 333.15, 343.15, and 353.15) K. The McAllister

model gives the best viscosity evaluation below 1.34% quantified by RAAD% at each

temperature for three systems ([C2mim][BF4] + dimethyl sulfoxide / acetonitrile / 1,4-

Page 6: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

dioxane). For the other system, [C2mim][BF4] + ethylene glycol, the best result was

reported using the Eyring-Flory-Huggins based method with a RAAD% of 1.54%, while

the McAllister method also showed a good result with RAAD% of 1.60%. The poorest

result estimated for these four systems is with the G-N model, ranging from 1.93% up

to 6.01% calculated by RAAD% at the eight temperatures. For the series of Eyring-

based models, Eyring-Wilson gives the poorest results with a RAAD% of 2.1% and 2.9%

in two systems containing dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetonitrile, respectively. Eyring-

Flory-Huggins shows the poorest estimation with a 1.5% RAAD% in the system with

ethylene glycol and also a poor result with 1.1% of RAAD% in the 1,4-dioxane

containing system. Generally, the other two Eyring-based models (i.e. UNIQUAC and

NRTL) show a better evaluation, the RAAD% are lower than 1.9% at each temperature

point for all the four investigated systems. Atashrouz et al. [8] reported an Eyring’s

theory method coupled with a modified two-suffix-margules model (Eyring-MTSM). To

validate the capability of the Eyring-MTSM model, the authors also made a clear

comparison with the Eyring-NRTL model using 5512 experimental data points for 122

IL-based mixtures. Based on this work, these authors demonstrated the higher

accuracy of the Eyring-MTSM method, with a RAAD% close to 2% compared to 2.8%

observed using the Eyring-NRTL model.

Generally, correlative models often yield lower deviations, but require enough

experimental data for the determination of parameters in the correlation equations.

However, a significant advantage of the predictive models is that a given property, such

Page 7: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

as viscosity could be evaluated for unknown mixtures by using a set of interaction

parameters regressed using well-defined training datasets. Two predictive methods,

based on the UNIFAC-VISCO and ASOG-VISCO models, respectively were applied for

modeling the viscosity of IL-based mixtures [6]. Bajić et al. [6] calculated the

interaction parameters (𝛼𝛼𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖 ) between the group ([C2mim][C2SO4], [-mim][BF4], [-

mim][PF6], and [C4mim][NO3]) and the organic functional groups by correlating

experimental data of 11 binary mixtures. However, the determination of the groups in

the ionic liquid components is not clear and uniform, sometimes on the basis of the

whole IL (such as [C2mim][C2SO4] and [C4mim][NO3]) and sometimes on the basis of

the core structure of the IL ([-mim][BF4] and [-mim][PF6]). In fact more work is

requested to assess properly the quality of the proposed method using novel and

original viscosity datasets.

In this work, we aim to develop the UNIFAC-VISCO model for correlation, and then

evaluation of the viscosity of (IL + molecular solvent) binary mixtures. The method

used for molecules’ cleavage is different from the division method reported by Bajić

et al. [6]. Each cation or anion, constituting the IL, is defined as an individual group,

which is coincident with the method of ionic groups determination for the viscosity

estimation of pure ILs and binary ILs mixtures reported in our previous work [14,15].

As a result, 119 binary systems with a total of 3365 experimental data points were

regressed altogether to obtain the interaction parameters between functional groups

(𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜 and 𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜). Then other 24 binary mixtures, not involved in

Page 8: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

the training set, were compared from the pure evaluated values to test the validity of

the interaction parameters and thus the model developed in the current study.

2. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPOSED MODEL

2.1 Database. In this work, 4146 experimental viscosity data at 0.1 MPa for 143 binary

mixtures were collected from the NIST database, as a function of the composition over

a broad temperature range (from 273.15 K to 363.15 K). As discrepancies between the

literature datasets for a given system could be observed, the experimental viscosities

for each binary system, used to establish the UNIFAC-VISCO model, were taken only

from one reference. The UNIFAC-VISCO model calculates the binary viscosities on the

basis of the pure components’ properties. The references that also report the pure

components’ densities and viscosities were preferred, thus identical measurement

uncertainties for the properties of pure ILs and mixtures containing ILs increase the

accuracy of the optimized binary interaction parameters. If the values of the pure

component’s properties are not provided in the selected reference, the molar volume

and viscosity of pure ILs were calculated by using the methods previously proposed by

our group [14–17]. In the database, 3365 data points of 119 binary mixtures from

literature [18-86], as a function of temperature and component composition, were

used for optimization of interaction parameters and 781 data points of another 24

binary mixtures were used to validate the performance of the proposed model. Table

1 shows the list of the selected binary systems along with their corresponding

temperature range and composition.

2.2 Functional Groups. In our previous studies, the UNIFAC-VISCO model was

developed to estimate the viscosity of pure ILs where each ion was regarded as an

individual functional group [14,15]. In the present study, a similar approach was used

to define the IL-viscosity contribution for investigated mixtures. In terms of the organic

component in the mixture, the original cleavage reported by Chevalier et al. [87] was

also used in the current study. The cleavages are identical for the branched and linear

hydrocarbons with the same number of carbon atoms, which limits the number of

organic functional groups [87]. Although isomers of organic components are not

characterized by using this definition, ILs with different alkyl chain shapes (branched

and linear) could be evaluated thanks to the 3D structure of ions contributing to the

volume and surface area values (R and Q) [14].

Chevalier et al. [88] reported that methanol could not be split into the groups CH3 and

OH like other alcohols, due to a peculiarity. Several molecular solvents also show a

similar characteristic and are defined as the single groups, such as water, chloroform,

dichloromethane, pyridine, and thiophene. Table 2 shows the list of organic

components and their corresponding functional groups used during this work.

2.3 Proposed Model. The UNIFAC-VISCO model is a group contribution model

developed by Chevalier et al. [87,88] to predict the viscosity of the liquid mixtures.

Briefly, the viscosity of a given mixture is calculated as follows:

ln(𝜇𝜇) = ∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖 ln �𝜇𝜇𝑖𝑖 ∙𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚� + 𝑜𝑜𝑐𝑐𝐸𝐸

𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅− 𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑟𝐸𝐸

𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝐶𝐶𝑖𝑖=1 (1)

where, 𝜇𝜇 is the viscosity of the mixture; subscript 𝑖𝑖 represents the pure component

in the mixture (i.e., the IL and the solvent); 𝐶𝐶 is the total number of the pure

components existing in the mixture, and equals 2 because only binary mixtures were

investigated in this paper. 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖 is the mole fraction of component 𝑖𝑖; 𝜇𝜇𝑖𝑖 is the pure-

component viscosity of component 𝑖𝑖 ; 𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖 is the pure-component molar volume of

component 𝑖𝑖; 𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚 is the ideal molar volume of the mixture calculated by using the

following equation:

𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚 = ∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖𝐶𝐶𝑖𝑖=1 (2)

The UNIFAC-VISCO combinatorial term reported in the eq. 1 is defined by:

𝑜𝑜𝑐𝑐𝐸𝐸

𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅= ∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙

𝜙𝜙𝑖𝑖𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖

+ 5∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝜃𝜃𝑖𝑖𝜙𝜙𝑖𝑖

𝐶𝐶𝑖𝑖=1

𝐶𝐶𝑖𝑖=1 (3)

where

𝜃𝜃𝑖𝑖 = 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑗𝑗𝑞𝑞𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗

(4)

𝜙𝜙𝑖𝑖 = 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑗𝑗𝑜𝑜𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗

(5)

𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖 = ∑ 𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑖,𝑘𝑘𝑄𝑄𝑘𝑘𝑁𝑁𝑘𝑘=1 (6)

𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑖 = ∑ 𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑖,𝑘𝑘𝑅𝑅𝑘𝑘𝑁𝑁𝑘𝑘=1 (7)

The volume 𝑅𝑅 and surface area 𝑄𝑄 of ionic groups were obtained by using the

COSMOthermX software (version C30_1601) as reported by our group previously

[14,15,89]. 𝑅𝑅 and 𝑄𝑄 values of organic groups are collected from values reported by

Page 19: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

Fredenslund et al. [90,91]. 𝑅𝑅 and 𝑄𝑄 values of all the functional groups are presented

in the Table S2 of the Supporting Information.

The UNIFAC-VISCO residual term reported in the eq. 1 is defined by:

𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑟𝐸𝐸

𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅= ∑ 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖[∑ 𝑙𝑙𝑚𝑚,𝑖𝑖(𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚 − 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚,𝑖𝑖)𝑁𝑁

𝑚𝑚=1 ]𝐶𝐶𝑖𝑖=1 (8)

where 𝑁𝑁 is the total number of the functional groups existing in the binary system;

𝑙𝑙𝑚𝑚 and 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚 refer to the group fractions in the mixture, and 𝑙𝑙𝑚𝑚,𝑖𝑖 and 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚,𝑖𝑖

refer to the group fractions in pure component 𝑖𝑖. 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚 is defined as:

ln 𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚 = 𝑄𝑄𝑚𝑚 �1 − ln�∑ Θ𝑖𝑖Ψ𝑖𝑖,𝑚𝑚𝑁𝑁𝑖𝑖=1 � − ∑ Θ𝑖𝑖Ψ𝑚𝑚,𝑖𝑖

∑ Θ𝑗𝑗Ψ𝑗𝑗,𝑖𝑖𝑁𝑁𝑗𝑗=1

𝑁𝑁𝑖𝑖=1 � (9)

The Θ value is obtained by using eq 10:

Θ𝑚𝑚 = 𝑥𝑥𝑚𝑚𝑄𝑄𝑚𝑚∑ 𝑋𝑋𝑖𝑖𝑄𝑄𝑖𝑖𝑁𝑁𝑖𝑖=1

,𝑚𝑚 = 1,2,3 …𝑁𝑁 (10)

The group interaction parameters Ψ𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖 are calculated as follows:

Ψ𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖 = exp (− 𝛼𝛼𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚298.15

) (11)

where 𝛼𝛼𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖 are the group interaction potential energy parameters between the

defined functional groups 𝑚𝑚 and 𝑙𝑙.

2.4 Determination of The Interaction Parameters 𝜶𝜶𝒎𝒎𝒎𝒎 . A set of interaction

parameters 𝛼𝛼𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖 is required for the calculation of the viscosity of binary mixtures

using the UNIFAC-VISCO model. The values of interaction parameters between ionic

groups ( 𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖/𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 ) were collected from our previous paper [14]. The values of

interaction parameters between some organic groups ( 𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜 ) were

collected from Chevalier et al. [88]. The other unknown interaction parameters

between organic and ionic groups (𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜 and 𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜/𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑜𝑜) were regressed

by using the experimental training datasets. To obtain the values of 𝛼𝛼𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖 , we

Page 20: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

performed the Marquardt [92] optimization of the following objective function:

𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 = 1𝑀𝑀∑ (𝜇𝜇𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒−𝜇𝜇𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐

𝜇𝜇𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒)2𝑀𝑀

𝑖𝑖=1 → 𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑖𝑙𝑙 (12)

where 𝑀𝑀 is the number of data points; 𝜇𝜇𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥𝑒𝑒 and 𝜇𝜇𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑐𝑐 are the experimental and

calculated viscosity data, respectively.

To carry out the regression, the ‘lsqnonlin’ function of the MATLAB Optimization

Toolbox was used. In this work, 3365 training data were regressed altogether to obtain

the global optimal values of interaction parameters.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

All the binary interaction parameters used in this work are presented in the Table S3

of the Supporting Information. The regression result was characterized by calculating

the relative absolute average deviation (RAAD%, eq. 13) between the calculated (µcal)

and experimental viscosity (µexp) data.

𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅% = 100 × 1𝑀𝑀∑ �𝜇𝜇𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒−𝜇𝜇𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐

𝑖𝑖=0 (13)

The deviation between each experimental viscosity dataset and correlated (training

set; overall RAAD% close to 5.0%) for each investigated binary system used to

determine the missing UNIFAC-VISCO parameters is reported in Table 1. As shown in

Table 1 and in Figure 1, the quality of the developed UNIFAC-VISCO model was then

assessed by comparing experimental data with those calculated for wide ranges of

temperature, composition, and chemical structures leading to large values of viscosity

up to 14000 mPa·s. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the correlated results show,

generally, a good agreement with the experimental data, except in two cases: i.e. the

([C6mim][BF4] + propylamine) viscosity dataset reported by Kermanpour et al. [43] and

the ([C4mim][OAc] + water) dataset published by Fendt et al. [71] for which a deviation

higher than 20% is observed in both cases.

To further assess the UNIFAC-VISCO model, 781 test data points for 24 binary mixtures,

not originally used during the training set, were then compared to the evaluated

viscosity data by using the interaction parameters estimated by using the training set.

Page 22: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

An arbitrary binary mixture with unknown viscosity could also be estimated thanks to

the optimized values of the binary interaction parameters between the functional

groups, constituting the given mixture. The evaluation result for each binary system is

presented in Table 1 and is also shown in Figures 1-2. The overall RAAD% for the test

set is close to 7.7% (see Table 1 and Figure 2), which demonstrates that the interaction

parameters estimated during this work are accurate enough to evaluate then the

viscosity data for original mixtures.

Nevertheless, as shown in Figure 2, a correlated data point for the ([C4mim][OAc] +

water) binary system presents a relative deviation higher than 60%. However, only one

research group reported the experimental viscosity data for the system ([C4mim][OAc]

+ water), to date [71]. The viscosity of the pure [C4mim][OAc] measured by Fendt et al.

[71] is close to 485 mPa·s at 298.15 K; while by looking at the literature, it is obvious

to highlight a clear discrepancy between experimental viscosity values reported for

the [C4mim][OAc] at 298.15 K; e.g. 297 mPa·s [93], 440 mPa·s [94], 485.1 mPa·s [95],

and 485 mPa·s [71]. As reported in our previous paper [14], a viscosity dataset [96]

was recommended through the gnostic analysis of five viscosity datasets [71,93–96]

for [C4mim][OAc] over a temperature range from (283.15 to 393.15) K. The interaction

parameters between ions [C4mim]+ and [OAc]- were then calculated by regressing the

recommended dataset [96], leading to an estimated viscosity value close to 424.6

mPa·s at 298.15 K for the pure component [C4mim][OAc] by using the UNIFAC-VISCO

method [14]. Therefore, such a discrepancy on the pure component viscosity values

definitely contributes to increasing errors during the estimation of the viscosity for the

Page 23: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

([C4mim][OAc] + water) binary system as shown in Figure 2.

Table 3 shows the estimation results (including correlated and evaluated data) for

several main types of molecular solvents to further analyze the effect of the molecular

solvent structure on the predictive capability of the UNIFAC-VISCO model. The

deviation between the experimental viscosity data and those determined using the

UNIFAC-VISCO model follows the order: water > amines > alcohols > esters > ketones >

amides. The binary systems with water show the poorest estimation result. This trend

could be attributed to the complexity of (IL + H2O) systems, driven by strong solvent-

ion interactions, like H-bonds, between water and IL, which may induce experimental

(hydrolysis reaction [97], trace of water originally present in the pure IL, etc.) and

computational errors. The difference between the experimental viscosity values for

pure ILs used in this work for the calculation of the viscosity data of selected mixtures

and those used in our previous paper [14] to determine the interaction parameters

𝛼𝛼𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖/𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 also contribute to an increase in the observed errors of the UNIFAC-VISCO

model for some IL-based mixtures. In other words, the quality of the proposed method

is strongly affected by the overall accuracy of data reported in the literature as

expected for a such complex property like the viscosity.

Furthermore, the impact of the non-ideality of the volumetric properties of the

solution on the quality of the proposed method was also exemplified by using the

([C2mim][C2SO4] + 1-propanol) binary system. The experimental viscosities, densities,

and excess molar volumes of this selected system are collected from González et al.

[18] and provided in Table S4 of the Supporting Information, together with the

Page 24: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

calculated binary viscosities by implementing the ideal and then the real molar

volumes into the UNIFAC-VISCO model, respectively. Figure 3 shows the excess molar

volumes of the system ([C2mim][C2SO4] + 1-propanol), along with the fitted curves by

using the Redlich-Kister [98] equation (Eq. 14) as a function of the mole fraction of

solvent.

𝑉𝑉𝐸𝐸 = 𝑥𝑥𝑠𝑠(1 − 𝑥𝑥𝑠𝑠)∑ 𝐵𝐵𝑒𝑒(2𝑥𝑥𝑠𝑠 − 1)𝑃𝑃𝑀𝑀𝑒𝑒=0 (14)

where 𝑉𝑉𝐸𝐸 is the excess molar volume; 𝑥𝑥𝑠𝑠 is the mole fraction of solvent; 𝐵𝐵𝑒𝑒 are

the Redlich-Kister fitting parameters; and 𝑀𝑀 is the degree of the polynomial

expansion. The fitting parameters reported by González et al. [18] are presented in

Table S5 of the Supporting Information.

Figure 4 shows the difference on the calculated viscosities induced by using the non-

ideality of the system ([C2mim][C2SO4] + 1-propanol). The minimum of 𝑉𝑉𝐸𝐸 presents

at approximately 𝑥𝑥𝑠𝑠=0.6, as shown in Figure 3. While the largest difference between

the calculated viscosities by two different molar volumes is present at nearly 0.8 mole

fraction of 1-propanol. The negative excess molar volume decreases as the

temperature increases. Analogous temperature dependence behavior was observed

for the calculated viscosities difference in Figure 4. However, the minimum

difference between the calculated viscosities is better than -0.6% for the system

([C2mim][C2SO4] + 1-propanol). The RAAD% between the experimental viscosities and

the calculated viscosities assuming the system to be ideal is 3.62%, and the RAAD%

between the experimental viscosities and the calculated values considering their non-

ideality is 3.55%. Hence, only a global 0.07% deviation was caused by the non-ideality

Page 25: pure.qub.ac.uk€¦ · New Method Based on the UNIFAC- VISCO Model for the Estimation of Dynamic Viscosity of (Ionic Liquid + Molecular S olvent) Binary Mixtures Nan Zhao1, Johan

of the binary system. Therefore, it is reasonable and acceptable to assume all binary

systems investigated in this work as ideal.

4. CONCLUSIONS

In this work, the experimental viscosity values of (IL + molecular solvent) binary

mixtures were estimated by using the modified UNIFAC-VISCO model. During this work,

3365 experimental viscosity data for 119 different binary systems were regressed

altogether to determine missing interaction parameters between ions and molecular

solvent group parameters. Then, 781 experimental data of 24 binary systems, not

originally included in the training set, were used to assess the performance of the

established model. The overall estimation result is close to 5.5%, amongst 5% for the

training result and 7.7% for the test result, which proves that the UNIFAC-VISCO-based

method is able to correlate and then evaluate the viscosity of (ILs + molecular solvent)

binary mixtures as the function of temperature and composition at 0.1 MPa.
