Research Expertise

  • Experimental determination of liquid phase behaviour in binary and multicomponent systems of ionic liquids and molecular solvents
  • Solubility of CO2 in ionic liquids and molecular solvents
  • Thermal properties (phase transitions and heat capacity) and PVT behaviour of pure ionic liquids and their mixtures with molecular solvents
  • Thermodynamic description of equilibrium, solubility, and thermophysical data by GE models and equations of state
  • Ionic liquids solubilities with molecular solvents database creation (IUPAC project # 2011-065-3-500)

Equipment you can share

  • Liquid-liquid equilibrium cell
  • Volumetric apparatus for determination of LLE
  • Synthetic (cloud-point) apparatus for determination of liquid phase behaviour of liquid mixtures
  • Anton Paar DMA 5000 and HP densitometer
  • Setaram DSC III Evo microcalorimeter
  • Thar Technologies Super Phase Monitor - solubility of CO2 in liquids
  • Data analysis tool based on mathematical gnostics - a robust method valid even for small datasets and not sensitive to the type of error distribution.

Placements Offered

  • Experimental determination of thermophysical and thermodynamic properties of pure ionic liquids and their mixtures with molecular solvents – PVT properties, thermal properties, LLE (STMS for Ph.D and/or post-doctoral fellow)
  • Molecular dynamic simulations of ILs interfaces (STMS for Ph.D. and/or post-doctoral fellow)

Looking for

  • Diffraction methods (X-ray, neutron scattering) and spectroscopic methods (Raman, NMR) for solids and liquids, at a wide range of temperatures, possibly at subzero temperatures
  • DSC at a wide range of temperatures
