In order to understand the effect of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromides([Bmim]Br)on the solubility of bromides MBr(M=Na
K)in aqueous solutions
isothermal solubilities of MBr in[Bmim]Br(1)+H2O(2)systems were measured in a temperature range of 298.15 K to 328.15 K at atmospheric pressure.It was found that the addition of [Bmim]Br triggered a remarkable decrease of salt solubilities in aqueous solutions.The results also showed that[Bmim]Br had more evident salting-out effect on KBr than NaBr.The solubility data were correlated and calculated with the Pitzer model.The interaction parameters of the mixed electrolyte solutions
the average activity coefficients of MBr in mixed solutions
and the osmotic coefficients of solvent were obtained by using experimental results.The Pitzer model gave a satisfactory prediction for the solubilities of KBr and NaBr in aqueous systems containing ionic liquid [Bmim]Br.Both the average activity coefficients of MBr in mixed solutions
and the osmotic coefficients of solvent increased with increasing ionic liquid concentration.
