The irregular ionic lattice model (IILM) is applied to predict the vapor pressures and solubilitiesof carbon dioxide dissolved in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6])and in 1-n-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C8mim][BF4]) ionic liquids at temperatures ranging from 298.15 to 333.15 K. The model contains only two parameters; they areshown to be independent of an arbitrarily chosen reference state. The parameters show a slightdependence on temperature, but this dependence is ignored in computations to demonstratethe rigor of the IILM in predicting CO2 solubility at high and low pressures at varioustemperatures. Model predictions are compared against the experimental data of Anthony et al.(J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 7315) and of Blanchard et al. (J. Phys. Chem. B 2001, 105, 2437).The usefulness of the model is in predicting CO2 solubilities at temperatures and pressureswhere experimental data are unavailable.
