Solubilities of CO_2, CH_4, H_2, CO and N_2 in choline chloride/urea(ChCl/Urea) were investigated at temperatures ranging from 308.2 to328.2 K and pressures ranging from 0.6 to 4.6 MPa.

The results show that the solubilities of gases increase with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature. The solubility of CO_2 is higher than that of CH_4, H_2, CO and N_2, which indicates that ChCl/Urea may be used as a potential solvent for CO_2 capture from the gas mixture. Solubility of CO_2 in ChCl/Urea was fitted by Non-Random Two-Liquid and Redlich-Kwong(NRTL-RK) model, and solubility of CH_4, H_2, CO or N_2 in ChCl/Urea was fitted by Henry's Law. The standard enthalpy, standard Gibbs energy and standard entropy of gases were calculated. Additionally, the CO_2/CH_4 selectivities in water, dry ChCl/Urea and aqueous ChCl/Urea were further discussed.展开更多
