  4. Abstract:
  5. Equations of state based on the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range (SAFT-VR) and the perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) have been used to model the PVT behavior of ionic liquids and the solubility of H2S in six imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The studied systems included [bmim][PF6], [hmim][PF6], [bmim][BF4], [hmim][BF4], [bmim][NTF2] and [hmim][NTF2] at various temperatures and pressures.For pure components, parameters of the models have been obtained by fitting the models to experimental data on liquid densities; the average relative deviation between the calculated and experimental densities for ionic liquids is less than 2.42% in the PC-SAFT model and 5.44% in the SAFT-VR approach, the latter which incorporates the square-well potential for short-range interactions. In both models an additional term has been added to account for dipole-dipole interactions between solute molecules resulting from the permanent charges on the chain molecules of the solvents. The model parameters have also been correlated as functions of the molecular weight of the solvents. For binary mixtures of ionic liquids and H2S, the association interactions between H2S molecules and between the ionic liquids and H2S molecules have also been taken into account in both approaches, using binary interaction coefficients. The results show an average deviation of less than 5% in the calculation of the mole fraction of H2S in the ionic liquids. The effect of inclusion of the polar term has been studied for binary systems in both models
