A thermochemical
study of the protic ionic liquid 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-enium
acetate ([DBNH][OAc]), a prospective cellulose solvent considered
for the Ioncell-F process, was carried out. The heat capacities of
1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) and [DBNH][OAc] were measured
by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at 223–323 and 273–373
K temperature ranges, respectively. The enthalpies of fusion and synthesis
reaction of [DBNH][OAc] were measured by DSC and reaction calorimetry,
respectively. The gas-, liquid-, and solid-phase enthalpies of formation
of [DBNH][OAc] and DBN were determined using calorimetric and computational
methods. The enthalpy of vaporization of [DBNH][OAc] was estimated
from the formation enthalpies. The activity coefficients at infinite
dilution of 17 and the enthalpies of solution at infinite dilution
of 25 organic solutes in [DBNH][OAc] were measured by gas chromatography
and solution calorimetry methods, respectively. The obtained data
will be used in the design and optimization of the Ioncell-F process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
