Nevertheless, they present important disadvantages related to their high melting points and viscosities. Dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) can reduce the melting point of these ionic liquids as well as other ones presenting the same problems. In this work, the effect of pressurized carbon dioxide on the melting point depression of some ionic liquids able to dissolve biopolymers was experimentally determined using the first melting point method. Five different ionic liquids were studied in contact with CO2 using a high-pressure visual cell, up to a pressure of 10 MPa. The ILs studied were four ionic liquids with chloride anion coupled with the cations: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C4mim]+, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C2mim]+, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium, [Amim]+ and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium, [C2OHmim]+ and one ammonium-based cation choline [C5H14NO]+ combined with dihydrogen phosphate anion, [H2PO4]−. Melting point depression effect observed for these groups of ionic liquids were around 10 K for chloride ILs and went as high as 33.2 K for choline dihydrogen phosphate. To correlate the melting point depression of imidazolium chloride ILs, parameters for the Group Contribution Equation of State (GC-EoS) of Skjold-Jørgensen for the liquid phase plus a fugacity expression for solid phases was employed. Experimental data used for the parameterization includes literature data of binary vapor–liquid, liquid–liquid and solid–liquid equilibria, and activity coefficients at infinite dilution. Melting point depression was calculated with an average deviation of 1.7 K (0.5%) and a maximum deviation of 4.3 K (1.3%). PB Elsevier B.V.
