Popis: Ionic liquids are being investigated as potential solvents for pre- and post-combustion CO2 capture. In pre-combustion applications, knowledge of the selectivity of CO2 over H2 in high-pressure and high-temperature gas mixtures is crucial. In the present work, the solubility of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and their mixture in the ionic liquids 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([Cnmim+][Tf2N–], n = 4, 6) is computed using the isothermal–isobaric Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (NPT-GEMC) method. The predicted solubility for CO2 and H2 in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([C4mim+][Tf2N–]) and 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([C6mim+][Tf2N–]) are compared with experimental results. It is found that the predicted absorption isotherms for pure gases in the studied ionic liquids (ILs) agree reasonably well with the available experimental results. The Henry’s Law constants, partial molar enthalpies of absorption, partial mola...
