Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria of binary mixtures containing (methanol, or propan-1-ol, or water, or acetonitrile) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocynate ionic liquid: Measurements and modeling

[Display omitted] •VLE measurements were performed on binary systems containing Ionic Liquid.•VLE data were successfully correlated by NRTL or COSMO-RS.•PC-SAFT equation of state were also used to correlate the VLE data.•Results shows that polar components were prone to stronger interactions with ILs. Ionic liquid vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) measurements were performed on binary systems for1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocynate [EMIM][SCN] (2) + {methanol, or propan-1-ol or water or acetonitrile}(1) at range temperatures between 273.15 and 363.15 K. Experiments were undertaken at pressures between 15 Pa and 255 kPa using a static device. The reported data were successfully correlated by means of two models, namely NRTL or COSMO-RS, and the PC-SAFT equation of state. While results obtained in this study indicate that the phase behavior of systems involving the ionic liquid and alcohols, water or acetonitrile can be accurately described by these three models, it was found that experimental data may be represented with higher accuracy with PC-SAFT than NRTL and COSMO-RS models.
