How to enter ionic liquid components in Aspen Plus?

Thread Content

If the cations and anions in my ionic liquid are sulfuric acid and an amino acid respectively, from what I understand, by clicking on ELEC WIZARD under Specifications, the electrolyte ions can be generated automatically. The problem is that Aspen Plus displays a window requiring the operator to enter water as an additional component. Following this approach, the reaction system becomes: 1. An aqueous solution of sulfuric acid and amino acid; 2. An ionic liquid composed of sulfuric acid and amino acid, containing water? Or is it actually the ionic liquid present in the system? Is it option 1 or 2? What if the ionic liquid used in my system contains no water? Can Aspen Plus represent this situation? Is my logic correct? How should I proceed? It’s frustrating~ P.S. I haven’t seen any literature on using Aspen Plus to simulate ionic liquid systems yet. Can anyone provide relevant information?
