Densities and Viscosities of Binary Mixtures Containing the Polyhydric Protic Ionic Liquid(2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylethanaminium methanesulfonate) and Water or Alcohols.

2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylethanaminium methanesulfonate ([BHEM][mesy]) displayed good ability for separating cellulose from biomass material in previous works. In order to have a better understanding of the structure–property relationship and facilitate further potential applications in industry, it is necessary to obtain more data for the physicochemical properties of [BHEM][mesy] and its mixtures. In this work, the densities (ρ) and viscosities (η) of [BHEM][mesy] + solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and isopropanol) mixtures were measured at six temperatures from (298.15 to 323.15) K over the full molar composition range and fitted by an empirical quadratic equation and Vogel–Fucher–Tammann (VFT) equation. Moreover, the excess molar volumes (VE) and viscosity deviation (Δη) of five binary mixtures were calculated and correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation. In addition, the apparent molar volumes ( V φ ) and partial molar volumes ( V - ) of [BHEM][mesy] and solvents were also calculated and all these physicochemical property data (density, viscosity, excess molar properties as well as the apparent molar properties) are discussed in terms of the structure and interaction of binary mixtures.
