Summary
Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts in the liquid state at room temperature with some relevant properties, namely their low vapor pressure over a large temperature range, making them possible candidates for heat transfer applications. Among all known ILs, the ones with imidazolium-based cations are the most studied, given their safety, low cost, low viscosity, non-toxicity, and biodegradability. [1,2]\nILs are considered sustainable novel solvents in chemical technology. As such, there is a need to fully understand their properties. This work reports the thermal conductivity of the binary system water and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide for all the composition ranges and the influence of the imidazolium-based cation’s alkyl chain and different anions on this thermophysical property [3,4]. The thermal conductivity was measured with a transient hot-wire probe, in the temperature range 303.15 K < T < 348.15 K, un an estimated expanded uncertainty Ur (λ) = 0.02. [5]\n\nReferences: [1] D.
