The performance of two tetrafluoroborate‐based ionic liquids (ILs) as entrainers in the dehydration of water/ethanol azeotropic mixtures was evaluated. Isobaric vapor‐liquid equilibrium (VLE) data were measured for the systems ethanol/water/1‐butyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate and ethanol/water / n ‐butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate including the azeotropic region. VLE data for the ethanol/water, ethanol/IL, and water/IL binary mixtures were obtained at 100 kPa. The hydrolysis of the tetrafluoroborate anion was studied for both types of ILs by 19 F NMR analysis. The hydrolysis of the tetrafluoroborate anion does not have much effect on the ethanol/water VLE. The 19 F NMR analysis indicated that hydrolysis occurred at high mole fractions of water.
