The solubility of two single gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate ([C2mim][eFAP]) was experimentally determined at temperatures from (303 to 353) K and pressures up to about 2.0 MPa. Results show that hydrogen sulfide is more soluble in that particular ionic liquid than carbon dioxide. At fixed temperature and pressure, the amount of dissolved H2S is more than twice the amount of CO2. The new experimental data were used to determine the Henry s law constants, which again were used to derive some thermodynamic functions of the gas/solvent systems, such as, for example, the change of the partial molar Gibbs free energy of the gases upon solution in the ionic liquid. Two models were used to correlate the new experimental data: (1) a model comprised of the extended Henry s law and Pitzer s virial expansion for the excess Gibbs free energy, and (2) a generic Redlich Kwong (RK) cubic equation of state recently proposed for gas-ionic liquid systems. Both models are equally suited to correlate the experimental results. The (CO2 + H2S) selectivity of [C2mim][eFAP] was calculated from the RK EoS at various temperatures, pressures and CO2/H2S feed ratios and compared with the recently reported results for the selectivity of other ionic liquids.
