The bubble point pressures of binary mixtures of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were measured by using a high-pressure experimental apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell, at various $CO_2$ compositions in the range of temperatures above the critical temperature of $CO_2$ and below the critical temperature of DMF. The experimental bubble point pressure data were correlated with the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS) to estimate the corresponding dew point compositions at equilibrium with the bubble point compositions. The experimentally measured bubble point pressures gave good agreement with those calculated by the PR-EOS. The variable-volume view cell equipment was verified to be an easy and quick way to measure the bubble point pressures of high-pressure compressible fluid mixtures.

Solubility data of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (PEGDME) are presented at pressures up to about 50 bar and at temperatures between 303 K and 343 K. The solubilities of $CO_2$ were determined by measuring the bubble point pressures of the $CO_2+PEGDME$ mixtures with various compositions using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. To observe the effect of the PEGDME molecular weight on the $CO_2$ solubility, the $CO_2$ solubilities in PEGDME with two kinds of molecular weight were compared. As the equilibrium pressure increased, the $CO_2$ solubility in PEGDME increased. On the other hand, the $CO_2$ solubility decreased with increasing temperature. When compared at the same temperature and pressure, the PEGDME with a higher molecular weight gave smaller $CO_2$ solubility on a mass fraction and molality basis, but gave greater $CO_2$ solubilities on a mole fraction basis.

Solubility data of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in the imidazolium-based ionic liquids with methylsulfate anion are presented at pressures up to about 45 MPa and at temperatures between 303.15 K and 343.15 K. The ionic liquids studied in this work were 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([emim][$mSO_4$]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([bmim][$mSO_4$]). The solubilities of $CO_2$ were determined by measuring the bubble point or cloud point pressures of the binary mixtures using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. The equilibrium pressure increased very steeply at high $CO_2$ compositions. The $CO_2$ solubility in ionic liquids increased with increase of the total length of alkyl chains attached to the imidazolium cation of the ionic liquids. The phase equilibrium data for the $CO_2$ + ionic liquid systems have been correlated using the Peng-Robinson equation of state.

Solubility data of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in 1-butyl-3-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ($[bmpip][Tf_2N]$) ionic liquid are presented at pressures up to about 30 MPa and at temperatures between 303 K and 343 K. As far as we know, the data on the $CO_2$ solubility in the $[bmpip][Tf_2N]$ ionic liquid have never been reported in the literature by other investigators. The solubilities of $CO_2$ were determined by measuring the bubble point or cloud point pressures of the $CO_2+[bmpip][Tf_2N]$ mixtures with various compositions using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. To observe the effect of the cation composing the ionic liquid on the $CO_2$ solubility, the $CO_2$ solubilities in $[bmpip][Tf_2N]$ used in this study were compared with those in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide ($[bmim]Tf_2N]$). As the equilibrium pressure increased, the $CO_2$ solubility in $[bmpip][Tf_2N]$ increased sharply. On the other hand, the $CO_2$ solubility decreased with increasing temperature. The mole fraction-based $CO_2$ solubilities were almost the same for both $[bmpip][Tf_2N]$ and $[bmim][Tf_2N]$, regardless of temperature and pressure. The phase equilibrium data for the $CO_2+[bmpip][Tf_2N]$ systems have been correlated using the Peng-Robinson equation of state.

In this study, 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate ionic liquid has been synthesized, characterized and tested with respect to carbon dioxide absorption with the aim to use it as advanced absorbent materials in fossil fuel processing. The ionic liquid was synthesized by a one step method, low cost. The thermal and chemical stability of selected ionic liquid has been investigated by DSC, TGA and the structure was verified by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. The solubility of carbon dioxide in the methanesulfonate-based ionic liquids were measured using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell at 30, 50 and $70^{\circ}C$ and pressure up to 195 bar. The results show that carbon dioxide solubilities of 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate increased with pressure increasing and temperature decreasing, and the carbon dioxide absorption capacity showed 27.6 $CO_2/IL$(g/kg) at $30^{\circ}C$, 13 bar.

Solubility data of hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) and methane ($CH_4$) in two kinds of ionic liquids with the same anion: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][TfO]) and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([bmpyr][TfO]) are presented at pressures up to about 30 MPa and at temperatures between 303 K and 343 K. The gas solubilities in ionic liquids were determined by measuring the bubble point pressures of the gas + ionic liquid mixtures with various compositions at different temperatures using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. The $H_2S$ solubilities in ionic liquid increased with the increase of pressure and decreased with the increase of temperature. On the other hand, the $CH_4$ solubilities in ionic liquid increased significantly with the increase of pressure, but there was little effect of temperature on the $CH_4$ solubility. For the ionic liquds [emim][TfO] and [bmpyr][TfO] with the same anion, the solubility of $H_2S$ as a molality basis was substantially similar, regardless of the temperature and pressure conditions as a molar concentration basis. Comparing the solubilities of $H_2S$ and $CH_4$ in the ionic liquid [emim][TfO], the solubilities of $H_2S$ were much greater than those of $CH_4$. For the same type of ionic liquid, the solubility data of $H_2S$ and $CH_4$ obtained in this study were compared to the solubility data of $CO_2$ from the literature. When compared at the same pressure and temperature conditions, the $CO_2$ solubility was in between the solubility of $H_2S$ and $CH_4$.
