Density Measurements of Aqueous Solution of Potassium Carbonate and ammonium based ionic liquids and their blends

The application of ammonium based ionic liquids (ILs) in carbon dioxide absorption has never been thoroughly researched and the data available is limited. Ammonium based ILs have unique characteristic which makes it a good substance as a CO2 capture agent because of its negligible vapor pressure, non-flammability and thermal stability. In depth research must be conducted to understand the thermophysical properties of ILs. In this project, the student will focus more on how density changes with respect to the changes in temperature and concentration of ILs and Potassium carbonate as well as their blends. The concentration will be altered slightly with each reading and the temperature will be incremented accordingly. The data recorded from this experiment will be analyzed and further justifications will be put forward to clarify the data collected.
