Popis: Recently, we have shown that gaseous or supercritical carbon dioxide can be used to induce a liquid−liquid phase split for homogeneous mixtures that consists of methanol−1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and aqueous/ionic liquid mixtures. [Scurto et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 10276; Chem. Commun. 2003, 572.] Here, the factors that control the vapor−liquid−liquid equilibrium in ionic liquid−organic−carbon dioxide ternary systems at 40 °C are discussed. The lower-critical endpoint pressure (LCEP) locus, i.e., the pressure at which the liquid−liquid phase split occurs, is strongly dependent on the choice of organic, the type of ionic liquid (IL), and the concentration of IL in the organic. On the other hand, the K-point pressure, i.e., the pressure at which one of the liquid phases becomes identical with the CO2-rich phase, is dependent on the choice of organic only and it was determined to be same as the binary mixture critical point for the given organic−CO2 system. The compositions of...
