1 Abstract:

2 Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) mostly comply with the principles of green chemistry. Therefore,

3 they are being widely investigated due to their great potential for a variety of applications in the

4 industries. However, it is necessary to have accurate (thermo)-physical property information on

5 any solvent before it can pave its way into the industries. Among such properties, density as a

6 function of temperature is one of the most important. In this study, a simple, accurate and global

7 correlation is proposed to estimate the densities of a large number of DESs of different nature.

8 The proposed model is a function of the critical temperature, critical volume and acentric factor

9 of the DES, as well as the temperature of the system. In this way, the model is capable of

10 accurately predicting the density of DESs without the need for any reference-temperature density

11 data, in contrast to most of the literature models that do require a reference data point. The

12 average relative error for 149 DESs of different natures was estimated to be 3.12% by the

13 proposed model, indicating its accuracy compared to previous models.

1 1. Introduction:

2 The use of toxic solvents and chemicals in the industries has led to serious environmental

3 damages in recent years. This has drawn the attention of many environmental activists with the

4 move towards green chemistry at the forefront of their agenda. Therefore, there is a need in the

5 chemical and pharmaceutical industries to find the right alternatives for these solvents, which are

6 environmentally-friendly, and at the same time, possess the properties demanded of solvents [1-

7 3]. In this respect, Ionic liquids (ILs) were introduced as appropriate alternatives to common

8 chemical solvents [4,5]. Despite their many desirable properties, there are some restrictions on

9 the use of ILs, such as issues of synthesis and high costs. Furthermore, the low biodegradability

10 and toxicity of some ILs (which are in contradiction to the principles of green chemistry) have

11 also become a concern in the literature [6–9]. Recently, Abbott and coworkers introduced the

12 Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) with somewhat similar properties to ILs [10].

13 DESs are formed by combining a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), generally ammonium

14 or phosphonium, and a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) such as acids, amides, or the chlorides of

15 metals. Upon the combination of the HBA and HBD, the melting point of the mixture is greatly

16 decreased to values lower than the melting points of the pure individual components [11]. DESs

17 possess some of the desirable properties and characteristics of ILs, such as low volatility and

18 task-specific design, yet most DESs are biodegradable, and they are less expensive than ILs [12].

19 Another advantage of DESs with respect to ILs is their ease of preparation. DESs can actually be

20 prepared by the simple mixing of two components with one-another [13]. For these reasons, in

21 the recent years, the research on DESs has increased dramatically and they have been suggested

22 as candidates for use in various industries including separations [14], synthesis and catalysis

23 [10,15–17], pharmaceuticals [18], electrochemistry [19], nanotechnology [20], and the energy

3
1 and environment sector [21]. Examples include metal extraction [19], purification of biodiesel

2 [22], organic synthesis [23], drug solubilization [18], and CO2 capture [15-17,24-32].

3 Despite the many advances in DES research, there is still the need for further research to better

4 understand their properties and behavior. Physical properties such as melting temperatures,

5 density, surface tension, polarity, conductivity, and vapor pressure are still quite scarce. Density

6 is one of the most important and fundamental physical properties of a solvent which is required

7 in the design, operation, and optimization of any application. Generally, most of the DESs have

8 densities higher than those of water. The significant differences in densities of various DESs can

9 be due to the difference in the constituent molecules or their concentrations in the DES mixture.

10 The significance of volumetric properties demands the availability of simple and easy-to-use

11 models which are also global and applicable to various types of DESs. Up to now only a few

12 studies [33-35] have been carried out to propose models to estimate the densities of DESs.

13 Shahbaz et al. [33] used Rackett’s model [36] to estimate the densities of nine DESs. The

14 Rackett equation can be considered as a pioneering model which was proposed to estimate the

15 densities of liquids. The following is Rackett’s formulation for calculating a saturated liquid’s

16 molar volume at various temperatures [36].

2 and the desired temperature, respectively. With the above formulation, Shahbaz et al. [33]

3 estimated densities for their nine investigated DESs, based on phosponium and ammonium salts,

4 within a temperature range of 298.15-368.1 K and reported good results.

5 In another study, Shahbaz et al. [34] proposed an atomic contribution method for the refractive

6 indices of 24 DESs based on ammonium and phosphonium salts. Then, by using the relation

7 between density and refractive index, they also estimated the densities of their investigated

8 DESs. So in essence, they did not propose a density model, but rather, they calculated the

9 densities only indirectly. Mjalli et al. [35] modified the model of Spencer and Danner [37] and

10 proposed a version that could estimate the densities of DESs. Equations 3 and 4 are the original

11 Rackett-type Spencer and Danner model [37],

4 To the best of our knowledge, as of yet there no accurate, easy-to-use predictive models which

5 are applicable to various types of DESs. Furthermore, the limitation of the models of Mjalli et al.

6 [35] and Spencer and Danner [37] is that they are not able to estimate the densities of DESs

7 without requiring a reference density data point, and so, they are not predictive. Therefore, the

8 main purpose of this study is to propose a model for estimating the densities of a wide range of

9 DESs of different families, which does not require a reference density point, and at the same

10 time, is simple, global, and accurate.

12 2. Method

13 2.1. Data

14 A general databank including experimental values of densities and the corresponding

15 temperatures for 149 DESs of various nature have been collected from open literature. This data

16 bank includes 1239 data points and all of the data are at atmospheric pressure. Table 1 presents

17 the list of investigated DESs, and the HBA and HBD for each. In this study, the DESs were

18 distributed randomly into two sets: a training dataset to develop the model (approximately 70%

19 of the total data), and the test dataset (approximately 30% of the data) to evaluate the capability

20 and performance of the proposed model.

21 Table 1

1 2.2. Method

2 In the last few decades, the utilization of evolutionary algorithms has significantly

3 increased due to their high susceptibilities in linear and nonlinear systems [65]. In this study, we

4 have benefited from the advantages of genetic programming to present a simple relation for

5 obtaining the densities of various DESs at different temperatures.

6 Genetic programming (GP), first introduced by Cramer [66] and later expanded by Koza [67,68],

7 is considered as an evolutionary algorithm, which is based on the Darwinian evolutionary theory.

8 Due to its accuracy, GP has been widely used in the application of artificial intelligence to solve

9 engineering problems and to determine the structure of phenomena [69,70].

10 In the GP method, blocks that contain the input and target variables, as well as their associated

11 function, are first defined, and then the proper structure of the pattern and its coefficients are

12 determined. Choosing the right inputs is one of the most important issues that should be

13 considered in this method. This is particularly important if different input data are used, because

14 providing non-related input data reduces pattern accuracy and creates more complex patterns that

15 are more difficult to interpret.

16 In this work, GP is used as the method for obtaining a precise relation for estimating the densities

17 of DESs in terms of temperature. The input data are chosen to be critical temperature (Tc),

18 critical volume (Vc), and the acentric factor (ω) of the DES. Therefore, the goal is to find an

19 equation that interconnects them in a logical manner and optimizes the coefficients of the

20 equation to result in statistically minimal errors. For this purpose, the objective function

21 proposed for use in the optimization algorithms is as follows.

3 where, ρi,exp, ρi,cal, and N denote the experimental density, calculated density, and the number of

4 data points, respectively.

6 3. Results and discussion

7 The critical properties and acentric factors of the DESs were calculated using the Lydersen-

8 Joback-Reid Method [73,74], and the Lee-Kesler mixing rules as proposed by Knapp et al. [75].

9 The results are reported in Table 2. In order to test the consistency of the calculated critical

10 properties, the liquid densities of the investigated DESs were estimated by the generalized

11 correlation given by Valderrama and coworkers [73, 76]. The details of the calculation procedure

12 and the results are presented in Tables S1 and S2 of the Supplementary Data, respectively. The

13 results of the consistency test showed that the calculated critical properties are reliable.

14 Table 2

15 Using the critical properties calculated above (Table 2) as the input data, the final resulting

16 model for calculating DES density is,

17 ρ = A + BT

18 (8)

19 A = A 1T c 2 + A 2T c + A 3ω 0.2211 + A 4V c

3 A 2 = 2.566 × 10 − 3 (8.3)

A 3 = 0.2376
4 (8.4)

5 A 4 = − 4.67 × 10 −4

6 (8.5)

7 B = − 4.64 × 10 − 4

8 (8.6)

9 In the equations above, Tc, Vc, ω, ρ and T are the critical temperature (K), critical volume

10 (cm3/mol), acentric factor, density (g/cm3) and temperature (K), respectively.

11 The list of all of the investigated experimental data and the corresponding estimated densities by

12 the proposed model are given in Table S2 of the Supplementary Data.

13 Table 3 presents the values of AARD%, as given by the following equation, for the training, test

14 and overall datasets, separately.

100 N ρ i ,exp − ρ i ,cal


15 AARD% = ∑ ρ
N i
(9)
i ,exp

16 As observed from this table, the values of AARD% are 2.82, 3.87 and 3.12% for the training,

17 test and overall datasets, respectively. Therefore, it is shown that the calculated results for both

18 the training and test datasets are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values.

19 Also the overall AARD% value of 3.12% shows the reliability of this simple, general, and

20 straightforward correlation model.

1 While the majority of DESs in the literature are hydrophilic, due to the interesting potential

2 applications, hydrophobic DESs are also starting to emerge in the literature. Therefore, it is of

3 great interest to investigate if the model is suitable for this class of deep eutectic solvents.

4 Choline chloride + glycolic acid (1:1) and choline chloride + levulinic acid (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and

5 1:5), given in rows 65 and 66-73 of Table 1 are hydrophobic DESs [77]. The accuracy of density

6 estimations for such DESs is in the same range as the hydrophilic DESs. This confirms the wide

7 applicability of the proposed model to include hydrophobic DESs.

8 Table 3

9 Furthermore, Figures 1 and 2 are presented in order to have a more comprehensive investigation

10 of the results. These figures give insight into the behavior of the proposed model regarding

11 underestimations and overestimations of the model, using the statistical parameter of relative

12 deviation percent, RD%, as defined by Equation 10.

ρ calc . − ρ exp.
13 RD % = 100( )
ρ exp.

14 (10)

15 where, ρ exp. and ρcal. are the experimental density and calculated density, respectively. Figure 1

16 presents the behavior of relative deviation percent for the results of the model versus the

17 corresponding experimental densities for both the training and test datasets. As shown, both

18 datasets show normal behavior in the aspect of under- or overestimations. Figure 2 presents the

19 abundance of the investigated data having the corresponding relative deviation percent. As

20 observed, the percentage of data which have small relative deviation percentages (close to zero)

21 is quite high, further showing the reliable performance of the proposed model.

10
1 Figures 1 and 2

2 Figure 3 shows the ability of the proposed model to estimate the densities of 10 different

3 randomly selected DESs, with different types of HBAs and HBDs. The proposed model agrees

4 well with the experimental data for all of the different types of DESs.

5 Figure 3

6 The average absolute relative deviation, AARD%, as given by Equation 9, is given separately for

7 each DES in Table 4. The errors of the proposed model are also compared with those of previous

8 literature models in this table. For the total of 1239 experimental data points available, the

9 AARD% for the model proposed in this study, and the Rackett [36], Spencer and Danner [37]

10 and Mjalli et al. [35] models were 3.12%, 17.01%, 1.02%, and 2.25%, respectively. This

11 indicates that the suggested model is well capable of estimating the densities of DESs. It should

12 be emphasized that the models presented by Mjalli et al. [35] and Spencer and Danner [37] for

13 estimating the density of solvents, require experimental reference density data for each DES (a

14 reference DES density at a reference temperature), therefore, as they are fine-tuned by this input

15 data to the density of the particular DES under consideration, they are expected to be much more

16 accurate than the models which predict density with no density data as input. Furthermore, when

17 no density data is available for a DES, such methods are inapplicable. This can be seen from

18 Table 4, where the models of Mjalli et al. [35] and Spencer and Danner [37] could not estimate

19 the errors for the DESs which have just one density data point, because these models require a

20 reference point for calculation. Therefore, the model of this study has a greater capability and

21 applicability to estimate, and even predict, the densities of DESs.

22 Table 4

11
1 Finally, in order to have a more detailed comparison between the proposed model and the

2 literature models, the temperature-trends of the various models are compared with the

3 corresponding experimental trends in Figure 4. In this figure, four different DESs (Figures 4.A to

4 4.D), which were not investigated in Figure 3, were chosen randomly as representative DESs for

5 comparison. As can be seen, all four models observed, qualitatively, the general trend of

6 decreasing density with increasing temperature. However, it is obvious from the figure that the

7 model presented in this study estimates a far more accurate temperature-trend than some of the

8 literature models, while at the same time, it is also more global and does not require a reference

9 density data point.

10 Figure 4

11

12 4. Conclusions

13 In this study, using genetic programming (GP) and a large data bank of experimental data

14 from 149 DESs of various natures, a simple relation was proposed for estimating the densities of

15 DESs as a function of temperature. The input data required by the correlation are the critical

16 temperature, critical volume, and the acentric factor of the DES. According to the results, the

17 average absolute relative deviation for all of the data, consisting of both the training and testing

18 data sets is 3.12%, which is significantly lower than the literature model that does not require a

19 reference density data point as its input data (17.01% for the Rackett [36] model). This error is

20 close to the errors of the two density models that require a reference density data point as input

21 for calculations (1.02%, and 2.25%, for the Spencer and Danner [37] and the Mjalli et al. [35]

22 models, respectively). Furthermore, it is quite superior in estimating the temperature-trend of

12
1 DES densities, while some of the literature models fail to give a correct trend. Such accuracies in

2 density values and density trends are obtained while the proposed method is more global and

3 covers a wider range of DESs than some of the literature models, and at the same time, does not

4 require a reference DES density data point as its input parameter like some of the literature

5 models do. So in this respect, it is much more applicable than some literature models. In reality,

6 no experimental data on the DES are actually required since the input data of the proposed model

7 (the critical properties of the DESs), are themselves estimated by the suggested group

8 contribution methods and mixing rules, if not available.

Highlights

• A general, simple and straightforward correlation has been proposed to estimate densities
of DESs based on a large data bank.
• The correlation is a simple function of critical temperature, critical volume and acentric
factor.
• The proposed model does not require a reference density data as input, as other models
often require.
• The AARD% of the proposed model is 3.12%
