As mentioned above, ionic liquids are now available from a number of commercial manufacturers and from many suppliers. Still, one should not forget that an ionic liquid is a quite different product compared to traditional organic solvents, simply because it caimot be easily purified by distillation, due to its very low volatility. This, combined with the fact that small amounts of impurities influence the ionic liquid s properties significantly [9] makes the quality of an ionic liquid a quite important consideration for many applications. 

The hydrodynamic problem of a moistening flow is the problem of finding a stationary solution that relates the film s thickness, the velocity of the flints flow, the liquid s properties, and the parameters describing the film s geometry. The two-dimensional character of the flow, the presence of an unknown free boundary, and the nonlinearity of the problem are responsible for the greater part of mathematical difficulties that complicate the solution. There is also an important related problem of examining the stability of this flow. 

One possible way to achieve a uniform surface is by coating the solid support material with a thin liquid film, thereby defining the material properties by the liquid s properties. Such supported liquid phase (SLP) materials date back a 100 years ago till 1914, when BASF introduced a silica-supported V205-alkah/pyrosulfate SO2 oxidation catalyst for sulfuric acid production (see Figure 1.1) [3]. This catalyst, which is stiU the standard system for sulfuric acid production today, can be described as a supported molten salt, as it consists of a mixture of vanadium alkali sulfate/hydrogensulfate/pyrosulfate complexes that are present under reaction conditions (400-600 °C) [4],... 

Inset of Fig. 3 shows that the oscillations in the P(V) isotherms vanish as T Tc-At T = Tc, the P V) isotherm has an inflection point, that is, (d P/dV )p = 0, which defines the coordinates of the LLCP Pc, Tc, Vc )- At T > Tc, LDL and HDL can be interconverted (e.g., by isothermal compression/decompression) but no phase separation occurs, the system remains as a single liquid phase. A natural question follows, how does the LLCP affect the liquid s properties at T> Tc Next, we address this question. 

If the temperature decreases, the time of settled life is increased near the crystallization point this time increases more and the properties of the liquid come nearer to the properties of solids. On the contrary, if the temperature rises, coming nearer to the boiling point, the time of settled life decreases and the liquid s properties become similar to those of gas. 

The properties of the solids most commonly encountered are tabulated. An important problem arises for petroleum fractions because data for the freezing point and enthalpy of fusion are very scarce. The MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) process utilizes the solvent s property that increases the partial fugacity of the paraffins in the liquid phase and thus favors their crystallization. The calculations for crystallization are sensitive and it is usually necessary to revert to experimental measurement. 

The analogy between equations derived from the fundamental residual- and excess-propeily relations is apparent. Whereas the fundamental lesidanl-pL-opeRy relation derives its usefulness from its direct relation to equations of state, the ci cc.s.s-property formulation is useful because V, and y are all experimentally accessible. Activity coefficients are found from vapor/liquid equilibrium data, and and values come from mixing experiments. 

A useful property of liquids is their ability to dissolve gases, other liquids and solids. The solutions produced may be end-products, e.g. carbonated drinks, paints, disinfectants or the process itself may serve a useful function, e.g. pickling of metals, removal of pollutant gas from air by absorption (Chapter 17), leaching of a constituent from bulk solid. Clearly a solution s properties can differ significantly from the individual constituents. Solvents are covalent compounds in which molecules are much closer together than in a gas and the intermolecular forces are therefore relatively strong. When the molecules of a covalent solute are physically and chemically similar to those of a liquid solvent the intermolecular forces of each are the same and the solute and solvent will usually mix readily with each other. The quantity of solute in solvent is often expressed as a concentration, e.g. in grams/litre.

The liquid crystalline state may be identified as a distinct and unique state of matter which is characterised by properties which resemble those of both solids and liquids. It was first recognised in the middle of the last century through the study of nerve myelin and derivatives of cholesterol. The research in the area really gathered momentum, however, when as a result of the pioneering work of Gray in the early 1970 s organic compounds exhibiting liquid crystalline properties were shown to be suitable to form the basis of display devices in the electronic products. 

Liquid phase chlorination work in the former U.S.S.R. has been summarized by Vereshchinskii (1972). With tetradecane, the reaction is nearly or partially diffusion-controlled at a dose rate of 0.1-0.4 rad s-1. However, during the chlorination process, the liquid phase properties change continuously because of chlorine absorption accompanying the chemical reactions. Due to long chain reactions the chlorination G value is high and can reach 105 per 100 eV of energy absorption. At around 10-30°C the reaction rate is found to vary as the square root of the dose rate. A set of consecutive reactions has been reported in the liquid phase chlorination of 1,1,1,5-tetrachloropentane (Vereshchinskii, 1972).

When a solid is in liquid solution it behaves according to its liquid state properties because it is in a liquid mixture. When applying Raoult s Law or similar expressions, the pure substance property is that of the liquid. Liquids such as crude oils and PCB mixtures consist largely of solid substances, but they are in the liquid state and generally unable to precipitate as solid crystals because of their low individual concentrations. 

In turbulent flow, properties such as the pressure and velocity fluctuate rapidly at each location, as do the temperature and solute concentration in flows with heat and mass transfer. By tracking patches of dye distributed across the diameter of the tube, it is possible to demonstrate that the liquid s velocity (the time-averaged value in the case of turbulent flow) varies across the diameter of the tube. In both laminar and turbulent flow the velocity is zero at the wall and has a maximum value at the centre-line. For laminar flow the velocity profile is a parabola but for turbulent flow the profile is much flatter over most of the diameter. 

We would like to find a solvent that breaks the azeotrope between acetone-chloroform (or moves the azeotrope point sufficiently to one side to allow separation by distillation) so that high purity acetone and chloroform can be recovered by extractive distillation. The solvent should be more selective to chloroform than acetone. The solvent, acetone and chloroform must form a totally miscible liquid. The solvent must not form azeotrope with either acetone or chloroform. The solvent should be easy to recover and recycle. The solvent should have favorable EH S properties.
