Salting-out effect of ionic liquids on isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium of acetonitrile-water system☆

This paper presents the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of acetonitrile–water system containing ionic liquids (ILs) at atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa). Since ionic liquids dissociate into anions and cations, the VLE data for the acetonitrile+water+ILs systems are correlated by salt effect models, Furter model and improved Furter model. The overall average relative deviation of Furter model and improved Furter model is 5.43%and 4.68%, respectively. Thus the salt effect models are applicable for the correlation of IL containing systems. The salting-out effect theory can be used to explain the change of relative volatility of acetonitrile–water system.     

二氧化硫和二氧化碳在离子液体支撑液膜中的渗透率和选择性

Permeabilities and selectivities of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen (N2) and methane (CH4) in six imidazolium-based ionic liquids ([emim][BF4], [bmim][BF4], [bmim][PF6], [hmim][BF4], [bmim][Tf2N] and [emim][CF3SO3]) supported on polyethersulfone microfiltration membranes are investigated in a single gas feed system using nitrogen as the environment and reference component at temperature from 25 to 45ºC and pressure of N2 from 100 to 400 kPa. It is found that SO2 has the highest permeability in the tested supported ionic liquid membranes, being an order of magnitude higher than that of CO2, and about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude larger than those of N2 and CH4. The observed selectivity of SO2 over the two ordinary gas components is also striking. It is shown experimentally that the dissolution and transport of gas components in the supported ionic liq-uid membranes, as well as the nature of ionic liquids play important roles in the gas permeation. A nonlinear in-crease of permeation rate with temperature and operation pressure is also observed for all sample gases. By considering the factors that influence the permeabilities and selectivities of CO2 and SO2, it is expected to develop an optimal supported ionic liquid membrane technology for the isolation of acidic gases in the near future.     

Prediction and verification of heat capacities for pure ionic liquids

The heat capacity of ionic liquids is an important physical property,and experimental measuring is usually used as a common method to obtain them.Owing to the huge number of ionic liquids that can be potentially synthesized,it is desirable to acquire theoretical predictions.In this work,the Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents(COSMO-RS) was used to predict the heat capacity of pure ionic liquids,and an intensive literature survey was conducted for providing a database to verify the prediction of COSMO-RS.The survey shows that the heat capacity is available for 117 ionic liquids at temperatures ranging 77.66-520 K since 2004,and the 4025 data points in total with the values from 76.37 to 1484 J·mol~(-1)·K~(-1) have been reported.The prediction of heat capacity with COSMO-RS can only be conducted at two temperatures(298 and 323 K).The comparison with the experimental data proves the prediction reliability of COSMO-RS,and the average relative deviation(ARD) is 8.54%.Based on the predictions at two temperatures,a linear equation was obtained for each ionic liquid,and the heat capacities at other temperatures were then estimated via interpolation and extrapolation.The acquired heat capacities at other temperatures were then compared with the experimental data,and the ARD is only 9.50%.This evidences that the heat capacity of a pure ionic liquid follows a linear equation within the temperature range of study,and COSMO-RS can be used to predict the heat capacity of ionic liquids reliably.     

四氟硼酸盐类离子液体对典型柴油的萃取脱硫研究

The extractive removal of sulfur compounds （S-compounds） from Dongying and Liaohe diesel fuels with [BF4]^--based ionic liquids were systematically investigated. The results show that the absorption capacity of an ionic liquid for the S-compounds in diesel fuels relies on its structure and its size. In the case of the two examined diesel fuels, both elongating the cation tail length and increasing the mass ratio of ionic liquid/diesel fuel promote the desulfurization ability of the examined ionic liquids. The results also show that imidazolium-based ionic liquids display higher extraction efficiencies than pyridinium-based ionic liquids, presumably owing to the fact that the rings of the S-compounds are similar to the imidazolium head ring. With the 1 ： 1 mass ratio of ionic liquid/diesel fuel, the rates of the first desulfurization of Dongying and Liaohe diesel fuels using [C8mim][BF4] amount to 29.96% and 39.76%, suggesting that [C8mim][BF4] is a promising extractant for desulfurization of these diesel fuels.

This paper illustrates the reaction pattern of catalytic degradation of macromolecules in asphaltic sands. Such parameters as ionic liquid catalyst system and H^ proton donor, that affect the change of the organic phase and the mass of organic matter in residual phase of asphaltic sands, were investigated. It was found that chloroaluminate (Ⅲ) ionic liquid/H3PO4 systems as reaction medium was an effective catalyst system for asphaltic sands degradation. The catalytic degradation of asphaltic sand swas related to the kinds of chloroaluminate (Ⅲ) ionic liquids and H^ proton donor. In [BMIM] [AlCl4]/H3PO4 reaction catalytic medium, the degradation of asphaltenes in the organic phase reached 16.44 %, the degradation of asphaltenes in the residual phase reached 30.74%. TLC-FID analysis of asphaltic sands showed that the main degradation products were saturates and aromatics, and resin fractions as well. At a temperature close to oil-bearing formation and with absense of oxygen, the yield of H2S reached 74%,which indicated that catalytic degradation of sulphur-containing compounds was easier.

Dissolution of antibiotics mycelium in ionic liquids: Performance and mechanism

Antibiotics mycelium, byproduct of pharmaceutical industry, contains high percentage of proteins, polysaccharides and lipids, while, the low solubility in traditional solvents limits its utilization. The dissolution process of penicillin mycelium was investigated using ionic liquids(ILs) as solvent. Quantitative correlation of solubility and ILs structure and dissolution mechanism were determined. About 91.45% of penicillin mycelium was dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate([Bmim]Ac) under the condition of 120.0 ℃ and [Bmim]Ac/mycelium(m/m) ratio of 3.90:1. Synergistic effect of ILs and DMSO was confirmed with the DMSO/[Bmim]Ac(v/m) ratio in the range of 0.0-1.0. At 25.0 ℃, the dissolution of penicillin mycelium increased from 69.74% to94.50%, with the ratio of DMSO to [Bmim]Ac(v/m) as 1:1. The room temperature dissolution of mycelium provides a novel and energy-saving process for its high-valued utilization. The NMR and FT-IR spectra showed that hydrogen bonds are the dominant driving force for the dissolution in ILs. Quantitative study on the effects of anions and cations of ILs on dissolution using Kamlet-Taft model showed that there was a linearly positive correlation between solubility of penicillin mycelium and(3 parameter of the ILs. The solubility of mycelium increased with increasing hydrogen bond accepting ability of anions and donating ability of cations.

The sulfur removal rate decreases gradually with increasing of running time. The refined 6# solvent oil is corresponded to the quality standards of GB16629-1996, which request that the mass concentrations of aro-matics, sulfurs and bromic index are 1%, 0.012% and 1000, respectively. The loss of solvent oil is less than 3%.     

Solubility of light alkanes and alkenes in ionic liquids

The solubility of light hydrocarbons in a variety of ionic liquids was studied, and it was found that ionic liquids containing Cu(Ⅰ) had higher solubility for hydrocarbons and alkene/alkane solubility selectivity, and Et₃NHCl-2.1CuCl ionic liquid was preferred. The effects of temperature and pressure on the solubility of light hydrocarbons were investigated for the selected ionic liquid. It was found that low temperature and high pressure were favorable for the dissolution of light hydrocarbons, and the alkene/alkane solubility selectivity decreased with the increase of temperature and pressure. The alkene/alkane solubility selectivity was above 8.3 at the temperature of 30℃ and the pressure of 0.2 MPa. The initial dissolution rate of hydrocarbons in ionic liquid was large, but it decreased rapidly with prolonging time, and the dissolution rate of alkenes was higher than that of alkanes at the same conditions. The alkene/alkane separation selectivity increased with decreasing content of alkenes in the mixture of alkenes and alkanes. Light hydrocarbons dissolved in ionic liquids could be desorbed by means of increasing temperature, restoring the dissolution capability of ionic liquids to hydrocarbons. Alkanes were easier to be desorbed than alkenes, and small-molecule hydrocarbons were easier to be desorbed than large-molecule hydrocarbons. The desorption percentage exceeded 92% under optimal conditions. Ionic liquid had a good reusable performance in the absorption and separation of light alkanes and alkenes. The solubility only decreased by less than 5% when it was reused five times, and the alkane/alkane solubility selectivity was basically not affected by reusing times. Software Gaussian 09 was used to study the interaction between anions of ionic liquids and light alkanes and alkanes, and the solubility difference of light alkenes and alkanes in different ionic liquids was well explained.

Physical and electrochemical characterization of ionic liquids based on quaternary phosphonium cations containing a carbon–carbon double bond

Physical and electrochemical characterizations of novel two ionic liquids based on quaternary phosphonium cations containing an unsaturated carbon–carbon bond (triethyl(4-pentenyl)phosphonium and allyltributylphosphonium cations) are presented in this report. It was found that both unsaturated phosphonium cations gave low-melting salts in combination with a bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide anion. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that the unsaturated phosphonium ionic liquids showed higher thermal stability than those of the corresponding saturated phosphonium ILs. The unsaturated phosphonium ionic liquids also exhibited relatively low viscosity and high conductivities when compared to those of the corresponding saturated phosphonium ionic liquids. These results indicate an improving effect of introducing a carbon–carbon double bond into the phosphonium cations on both the thermal stability and the transport property. The voltammetric measurements suggested that the triethyl(4-pentenyl)phosphonium-based ionic liquid showed a high cathodic stability, enabling the deposition and dissolution of metallic lithium in the phosphonium ionic liquid system.

Green and facile preparation of self-supporting nanoporous gold electrode and effect of ionic liquids on its electrocatalytic oxidation toward glucose

Green and facile fabrication of self-supporting nanoporous gold electrodes (NPGE) was successfully achieved in an air/water-stable Lewis acid ionic liquid [Choline]Cl·2ZnCl₂ via electrochemical method. In this medium, the effects of the scan cycle at different temperatures on the preparation process were investigated firstly. It was found that the Au–Zn alloy and porous structure could be formed at the temperature as low as 50 °C after five cycles and at 90 °C only after one cycle, indicating the easier formation of the porous structure in the present ionic liquid than that in the reported solvents. The porous structure was formed directly on the gold surface and the NPGE could catalyze the oxidation of glucose without any modification or covered film. The electrocatalytic ability of the NPGEs for glucose oxidation was evaluated in the neutral and alkaline solutions. Ionic liquids were correlated closely with the dissolution and conversation of glucose. The effect of three ionic liquids (choline acetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) on the conversation of glucose on the NPGE was studied. These ionic liquids had great influence on the electrochemical signal of glucose and inhibited the catalytic ability of the NPGE. Glucose was electrochemically detected on the best NPGE in neutral medium finally. This work introduced a green and facile method for the fabrication of the self-supporting NPGE, expanded the application of gold nanomaterials in the electrocatalysis for glucose and provided a scientific support for the effect of ionic liquids on the conversation of glucose.

Swelling behaviors of natural cellulose in ionic liquid aqueous solutions

In the study, a series of methylimidazolium ionic liquids were prepared, including five acidic and seven neutral ionic liquids; and the effects of these ionic liquids on swelling behavior of bagasse cellulose were investigated. The focus of this work is to investigate the relationship between the properties of ionic liquids and the swelling capacity. The swelling absorbency for cellulose in the acidic ionic liquid aqueous solutions was less than in distilled water. It was found that the partial hydrolysis on cellulose surface occurred along with swelling simultaneously. In neutral ionic liquid aqueous solutions, the nonlinearity of swelling ability with the alkyl chain length was discovered. It could be attributed to the dual role of hydrophobic interactions and steric effects provided by cations. Furthermore, small polarizable anions also contribute to the swelling of cellulose to some extent. The properties of treated cellulose were also investigated and compared with the native fibers by scanning electron microscopy. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
