Abstract

In this work, we have studied the effect of attraction term of molecular potential on surface

SC

tension of ionic liquids (ILs). For this purpose, we have introduced two different potential models to obtain analytical expressions for the surface tension of ILs. The introduced

M AN U

potential models have different attraction terms. The obtained surface tensions in this work have been compared with other theoretical methods and also experimental data. Using the calculated surface tension, the sound velocity is also estimated. We have studied the structural effects on the surface tensions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids. It is found that the cation alkyl chain length and the anion size play important roles to the surface tension of the selected ionic liquids. The calculated surface tensions show a good harmony with

TE D

experimental data. It is clear that the attraction term of molecular potential has an important role on surface tension and sound velocity of our system.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1. Introduction Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of ionic liquids is one of main challenges in the scientific purposes like electrochemical stability, synthetic, separation processes, and industrial applications [1]. Among the thermodynamic properties, the surface tension is an important and useful quantity in heat transfer, mass transfer, flow, secondary

RI PT

and tertiary crude oil recovery, and gas condensate recovery [2, 3]. Surface tension is defined as the difference between the energy in the bulk and surface per unit area of interface. This parameter is a basic physical property that has a key role in development, design and simulation of many chemical engineering processes such as

SC

biochemical engineering, environmental protection, gas absorption, distillation, extraction and residual liquid saturation [4-7].

Hitherto, several works have been performed theoretically and experimentally to predict the

M AN U

surface tension of simple fluids and fluid mixtures [8-11]. The performed theoretical works to estimate the surface tension is based on statistical thermodynamics. Many authors have used different approaches including the corresponding-states theory [12], the parachor method and its derivatives [8, 13-15], the gradient theory of inhomogeneous fluids [16, 17], Monte Carlo simulation [18], density functional theory [19-24], molecular dynamic simulation [25],

TE D

perturbation theory [26, 27], Gibbs method [28], and quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) [29-31].

Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts comprised of an anion and an organic cation. They are liquids at ambient temperature and have an appreciable liquid range. Ionic liquids were

EP

discovered in 1914 but their systematic study began with the present century [32]. Very interestingly, the physicochemical properties of ILs can be finely tuned by slight structural

AC C

changes of the corresponding cations and anions. In recent years, an increasing interest has been devoted on the topic of ionic liquids due to their wide applications in the chemical industry such as such as homogeneous and biphasic transfer catalysts, multiphase homogeneous catalytic reaction and solvents in organic synthesis [33-41]. In order to use the ionic liquids in potential applications, we should know their physical properties such as viscosity, density and surface tension. As we know there are few accurate theoretical results for surface tension of ionic liquids compared with their density data. Hitherto, several theoretical methods have been employed to estimate the surface tension of ionic liquids. Therefore, the prediction of theoretical surface tension of ionic liquids accurately is useful to establish the surface tension data in the design specifications. Examples of the methods are the group contribution method [42], the corresponding-states 2

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT group-contribution method [43], and corresponding state theory [44]. To obtain more information about theoretical results of the ionic liquids, the reader can refer to [45-51]. In the previous works, authors have considered the columbic interactions, the hard-sphere repulsions and Lennard-Jones (LJ) dispersion forces in calculating surface tension of ILs. In this work, we have intended to answer the following question. What is the effect of potential

RI PT

attraction term of the LJ dispersion forces on the surface tension of ILs. For this purpose, we have selected two potential models which have the same behaviors as the LJ potential but with different attraction terms. It is to be noted that we have also used these attraction terms in nanostructures [52]. The new idea of the present work is considering contributions arising

SC

from the attraction term of the potential models on the surface tension of ILs. Since the surface tension of the ionic liquids is an important property, we intend to study this property theoretically. We have used two new potential models and molecular thermodynamic model

2.1. A new potential model

It should note that from Fowler model and KB (Krikwood-Buff) model [53, 54], the surface

EP

tension of multicomponent systems depends on intermolecular pair potential and pair correlation function. The accurate theoretically prediction of the surface tension will help to

AC C

improve engineering applications. To this end, knowledge of accurate pair potential of a system is an important problem. We have tried to combine the previous potential models for obtaining better results. For this goal, we have selected two potentials which have the repulsion and attraction terms and the potentials have same behaviors as the LJ potential. We have considered the repulsion term of the LJ potential with two different attraction terms. The two potential models to show the interaction between two molecules with the separation of :

the higher orders of 0,- are small and we have neglected the orders. The most important order

of 0,- is the first order. This parameter can also depend on temperature. In Eqs. (17) and (19), we have kept the terms which have same orders. The dependence of 0, is given by 1 + 0.2977IJ K/,  0, = 20 , 1 + 0.3316IJ K/,  + 0.001047IJ K/,

3. Results and discussion In this paper, we have carried out the numerical results for the surface tension of ionic liquids using the perturbation method and introduction of two new potential models. The used parameters in this work have been presented in tables 1 and 2. These parameters have been

SC

taken from Ref. [66].

Fig. 1 shows the variation of new potential models (1) and (2) as a function of molecular distances. To compare, we have also plotted the (12-6) Lennard-Jones potential model. It is

M AN U

seen from the figure that two potentials have the same behaviors as the LJ potential.

The accuracy of our model has been further assessed by comparing our surface tension calculations with those obtained from the method of Gardas and Coutinho [67] and the corresponding-states group-contribution (CS-GC) method of Wu et al [43]. Our results were

TE D

summarized in table 3 as the AAD (in %) of the calculated surface tensions of the some selected ILs, using the proposed molecular model (this work), the QSPR strategy of G & C and those obtained from the CS–GC method of Wu et al [43], from those measured Almeida et al [68]; Carvalho et al [69], Freire et al [70], Souckova et al [71], Kilaru et al [72], Pereiro

EP

et al [73]. It is observed from table 3 that our new model outperforms the QSPR strategy and CS–GC method. From 69 examined data points for some studied ILs, the AAD (in %) of the

AC C

correlated surface tensions from the proposed model was found to be 2.21% (potential model 1) and 2.33% (potential model 2) which is lower than those obtained from the QSPR strategy and CS-GC method with AAD’s equal to 10.31% and 4.85%, respectively. It should be added that the uncertainty of the experimental surface tension data used for comparisons was of the order of Β±0.0012 N m-1.

We have calculated the surface tension (STcal) of the ionic liquids using the perturbation

method Eq. (5) using the new potential models Eqs. (1) and (2). In order to show graphically the accuracy of our method, we have plotted the theoretical surface tension of the ionic liquids versus the experimental surface tension (STexp) [68, 74-77] in Figs. 2 and 3 for the potential models (1) and (2), respectively. The results show the good harmony between the experimental data and the correlated surface tension obtained from our proposed models. 10

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT From the figures, it is seen that the potential model 2 gives better results than the potential model 1. This means that the attraction term of the potential model can be influenced on the surface tension of the selected ILs. In Figs. 4 and 5, the surface tension (ST) of imidazolium-based ionic liquids has been plotted as a function of temperature for the two potential models (1) and (2). Our results in the two

RI PT

figures have been compared with experimental data [72, 78-81]. Two figures have been plotted in order to show the influence of structural effects on the surface tensions of the selected ionic liquids.

The effect of alky chain-length of the cation on the surface tension of the selected ionic

SC

liquids has been shown in Figs. 4(a) and 5(a). Also, the influence of anion size on the surface tension has been investigated in Figs. 4(b) and 5(b). It is seen from the Figs. 4(a) and 5(a) that the surface tension decreases with increasing the cation alkyl chain length of the selected ILs

M AN U

for the two potential models. It should be noted that the enhancement of cation alkyl chain length causes an increase of the van der Waals forces and aliphatic character ionic liquids. The factors lead to the dispersion of the ion charge and thereby the reduction of electrostatic forces.

It is clear from Figs. 4(b) and 5(b) that the surface tension is reduced with increasing the

TE D

anion size of the selected ILs. Our results are in agreement with Ref. [82]. With increasing the anion size, the hydrogen bonding strength and the electrostatic forces reduce and the delocalization charge enhances. We can see an important behavior in Figs. 4(b) and 5(b). From the figures, it is clear that the surface tension obtained from the potential model (1) has

EP

better agreement with experimental data. It means that the surface tension depends on potential attraction term.

AC C

One can theoretically calculate the sound velocity of the ionic liquids with knowledge of the surface tension. The relationship between the sound velocity and surface tension is as [83] Β£  Β‘=  , 21 6.33 Γ— 10e E >

Β€=0.6714 from Ref. [67]. This parameter has been obtained by the correlation of experimental sound velocities of imidazolium-based ionic liquids and the least-squares

method [67]. Using the calculated surface tension in this work for two potential models and by using Eq. (21), we can compute the sound velocity. Figs. 6 and 7 show the relative 11

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT deviation of the calculated sound velocity Eq. (21) of imidazolium-based ionic liquids from the experimental data [84-90] over the temperature range within 278 K to 343 K. Our theoretical results in Figs. 6(a)-6(c) and 7(a)-7(c) have been compared with different references. The comparison has been made for two potential models (1) and (2) in Figs. 6 and 7, respectively. As shown in Figs. 6(a) and 7(a), the plots represent the relative deviations (in

RI PT

%) of our predictions from Refs. [84-86] measurements for which their uncertainties were of the order of 1.2 m/s, 2.0 m/s and 1.6 m/s for the potential model (1). Also, the uncertainties for the potential model (2) are of the order of 1.5 m/s, 2.3 m/s and 1.9. The figures 6(c) and 7(c) represent the relative deviations (in %) of the estimated sound velocities of

SC

[C2mim][NTf2] and [C4mim][BF4] from Refs. [89] and [90] measurements for which their uncertainties were equal to 1.2 m/s and 2.2 m/s, respectively, for the potential model (1). The uncertainties for the potential model (2) are of the order of 1.3 m/s and 2.5, respectively, for

M AN U

the potential model (2). It is observed from the figures that the deviation for the sound velocity from the potential model (2) is larger than that the potential model (1). This means

4. Conclusions

that the attraction term of the potential model can be influenced on the sound velocity.

It is fully known that the tension at the surface of a liquid is one of the most important demonstrations of the intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces composed of both

repulsion and attraction terms. We have answered the following question in this work. What is the effect of potential attraction term of dispersion forces on the surface tension of ILs. We

AC C

have calculated the surface tension of selected ILs using two potential models which have different attraction terms. The main advantages of the present model in comparison with the previous works are: (i) the statistical thermodynamic approaches expression (5) proposed in this work provide us good approach to predict the surface tension of ILs. (ii) Using the expression (5), we could show the effect of attraction term dispersion forces on the surface tension of ILs. (iii) The proposed combination model can perform in a predictive manner with no adjustable parameters. (iv) With considering temperature-dependent of the used parameters [Eqs. (11), (15) and (20)], we could obtain the acceptable results for the surface tension of ILs. (v) The surface tension of the selected ILs can be predicted using only four parameters , , Ξ“ and 0. (vi) In comparison with available data, we can say that the better

results for the surface tension of the selected ILs can be obtained by finding the accurate 12
