Protic ionic liquid as excellent shuttle of MDEA for fast capture of CO2

A cheap protic ionic liquid (PIL), 3‐(Dimethylamino)‐1‐propylamine acetate (abbreviated as [DMAPAH][Ac]), is investigated in this work as the activator of N‐methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) for fast capture of CO₂. The PIL‐activated MDEA solutions show excellent performance in absorption rate and capacity (≥2.5 mol·kg^?1). A novel absorption mechanism is proposed to account for the phenomenon, where the shuttling role of the PIL is described in detail. Additionally, the enthalpy change ΔH_SOL (?45 to ?52 kJ·mol^?1), the turnover number of the PIL and the regeneration efficiency (>92%) are also measured. All these data show that the PIL‐mediated MDEA solutions may be used as a kind of promising absorbents for fast capture of CO₂. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 209–219, 2018

蒸汽活化钙基吸收剂联合脱碳脱硫特性

利用管式炉（TF）、蒸汽发生器和热重分析仪（TGA）研究了钙基吸收剂联合脱碳脱硫以及水合特性,并通过N2吸附实验对不同烧结程度以及水合前后样品的孔隙结构进行了测量。结果表明,无水合时,40次碳化循环后的样品碳化活性降至18%,但仍具有44%的硫化活性,比新鲜剂仅低4%,说明脱碳失效剂仍是良好的脱硫剂。碳循环失效剂经蒸汽活化后其碳化活性可提高至68%左右,且具有与新鲜剂类似的活性下降规律。每两次碳化循环后进行一次蒸汽活化,可使样品保持65%的平均转化率。蒸汽活化后吸收剂硫化率可提高至80%,远高于新鲜剂,由电镜扫描实验发现这是由于水合时颗粒产生了大的裂缝和破碎,提供了大量产物可自由生长的外表面积。不考虑颗粒磨损,利用钙基吸收剂先循环脱碳再蒸汽活化最后脱硫是一项联合脱除烟气中CO₂和SO₂的新方法。     

Modification of CaO-based sorbents prepared from calcium acetate for CO2 capture at high temperature

CaO-based sorbent is considered to be a promising candidate for capturing CO_2 at high temperature. However,the adsorption capacity of CaO decreases sharply with the increase of the carbonation/calcination cycles. In this study, CaO was derived from calcium acetate(CaAc_2), which was doped with different elements(Mg, Al,Ce, Zr and La) to improve the cyclic stability. The carbonation conversion and cyclic stability of sorbents were tested by thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA). The sorbents were characterized by N_2 isothermal adsorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The results showed that the cyclic stabilities of all modified sorbents were improved by doping elements, while the carbonation conversions of sorbents in the 1st cycle were not increased by doping different elements. After 22 cycles, the cyclic stabilities of CaO–Al, CaO–Ce and CaO–La were above 96.2%. After 110 cycles, the cyclic stability of CaO–Al was still as high as 87.1%. Furthermore, the carbonation conversion was closely related to the critical time and specific surface area.

Aprotic phosphonium-based ionic liquid as electrolyte for high CO2 electroreduction to oxalate

In this study, a new CO₂ electroreduction electrolyte system consisting of tetrabutylphosphonium 4-(methoxycarbonyl) phenol ([P₄₄₄₄][4-MF-PhO]) ionic liquid (IL) and acetonitrile (AcN) was designed to produce oxalate, and the electroreduction mechanism was studied. The results show that using the new IL-based electrolyte, the electroreduction system exhibits 93.8% Faradaic efficiency and 12.6 mA cm⁻² partial current density of oxalate at −2.6 V. The formation rate of oxalate is 234.4 μmol cm⁻² h⁻¹, which is better than those reported in the literature. The mechanism study using density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveals that [P₄₄₄₄][4-MF-PhO] can effectively activate CO₂ molecule through ester and phenoxy double active sites. In addition, in the phosphonium-based ionic environment, the potential barriers of the key intermediates *CO₂⁻ and *C₂O₄²⁻ are reduced by the induced electric field, which greatly facilitates the activation and conversion of CO₂ molecule to oxalate.

Mass‐transfer rate enhancement for CO2 separation by ionic liquids: Theoretical study on the mechanism

To promote the development of ionic liquid (IL) immobilized sorbents and supported IL membranes (SILMs) for CO₂ separation, the kinetics of CO₂ absorption/desorption in IL immobilized sorbents was studied using a novel method based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It shows that the apparent chemical‐potential‐based mass‐transfer coefficients of CO₂ were in three regions with three‐order difference in magnitude for the IL‐film thicknesses in microscale, 100 nm‐scale, and 10 nm‐scale. Using a diffusion‐reaction theory, it is found that by tailoring the IL‐film thickness from microscale to nanoscale, the process was altered from diffusion‐control to reaction‐control, revealing the inherent mechanism for the dramatic rate enhancement. The extension to SILMs shows that the significant improvement of CO₂ flux can be obtained theoretically for the membranes with nanoscale IL‐films, which makes it feasible to implement CO₂ separation by ILs with low investment cost. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 4437–4444, 2015

CO2/N2 separation using supported ionic liquid membranes with green and cost-effective [Choline][Pro]/PEG200 mixtures

The high price and toxicity of ionic liquids(ILs) have limited the design and application of supported ionic liquid membranes(SILMs) for CO_2 separation in both academic and industrial fields. In this work, [Choline][Pro]/polyethylene glycol 200(PEG200) mixtures were selected to prepare novel SILMs because of their green and costeffective characterization, and the CO_2/N_2 separation with the prepared SILMs was investigated experimentally at temperatures from 308.15 to 343.15 K. The temperature effect on the permeability, solubility and diffusivity of CO_2 was modeled with the Arrhenius equation. A competitive performance of the prepared SILMs was observed with high CO_2 permeability ranged in 343.3–1798.6 barrer and high CO_2/N_2 selectivity from 7.9 to 34.8.It was also found that the CO_2 permeability increased 3 times by decreasing the viscosity of liquids from 370 to38 m Pa·s. In addition, the inherent mechanism behind the significant permeability enhancement was revealed based on the diffusion-reaction theory, i.e. with the addition of PEG200, the overall resistance was substantially decreased and the SILMs process was switched from diffusion-control to reaction-control.

Polyurethane-based poly (ionic liquid)s for CO2 removal from natural gas

Carbon dioxide separation from CH₄ is important to the environment and natural gas processing. Poly (ionic liquid)s (PILs) based on polyurethane structures are considered as potential materials for CO₂ capture. Thus, a series of anionic PILs based on polyurethane were synthesized. The effects of polyol chemical structure and counter-cations (imidazolium, phosphonium, ammonium, and pyridinium) in CO₂ sorption capacity and CO₂/CH₄ separation performance were evaluated. The synthesized PILs were characterized by NMR, DSC, TGA, dinamical mechanical thermo analysis (DMTA), SEM, and AFM. CO₂ sorption, reusability, and CO₂/CH₄ selectivity were assessed by the pressure-decay technique. The counter-cation and polyol chemical structure play an important role in CO₂ sorption and CO₂/CH₄ selectivity. PILs exhibited competitive thermal mechanical properties. Results showed that PILPC-TBP was the best poly (ionic liquid) for CO₂/CH₄ separation. Moreover, poly (liquid ionic) base polyol (polycarbonate) with phosphonium (PILPC-TBP) demonstrated higher CO₂ sorption capacity (21.4 mgCO₂/g at 303.15 K and 0.08 MPa) as compared to other reported poly (ionic liquids). © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

CO2 capture by methanol,ionic liquid,and their binary mixtures: Experiments,modeling, and process simulation

The CO₂ solubility data in the ionic liquid (IL) 1‐allyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, methanol (MeOH), and their mixture with different combinations at temperatures of 313.2, 333.2, and 353.2 K and pressures up to 6.50 MPa were measured experimentally. New group binary interaction parameters of the predictive universal quasichemical functional‐group activity coefficient (UNIFAC)‐Lei model, which has been continually advanced by our group, were introduced by correlating the experimental data of this work and the literature. The consistency between experimental data and predicted results proves the reliability of UNIFAC‐Lei model for CO₂‐IL‐organic solvent systems. The newly obtained parameters were incorporated into the UNIFAC property model of Aspen Plus software to optimize a conceptual process developed for the purification of a CO₂‐containing gas stream. The simulation results indicate that the use of IL either mixed with MeOH or purely considerably lowers the process power consumption and improves the process performance in terms of CO₂ capture rate and solvent loss. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 2168–2180, 2018     

State of the art of ionic liquid-modified adsorbents for CO2 capture and separation

The enormous emission of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industries has triggered a series of environmental issues. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) as novel absorbents are widely used for CO₂ capture owing to their low vapor pressure and tunable structures. IL-modified adsorbents have the advantages of both ILs and porous supports, such as high CO₂ selectivity and high specific surface area, which are novel agents to capture CO₂ with broad application prospects. In this review, more than 140 IL-modified adsorbents for CO₂ capture in recent years were systematically summarized. The types of ILs including conventional ILs and functionalized ILs on CO₂ separation performance of different IL hybrid adsorbents, and their adsorption mechanisms were also discussed. Finally, future perspectives on IL-modified adsorbents for CO₂ separation were further posed.     

Development of ethanolamine‐based ionic liquid membranes for efficient CO2/CH4 separation

This study is focused on the development of ionic liquids (ILs) based polymeric membranes for the separation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from methane (CH₄). The advantage of ILs in selective CO₂ absorption is that it enhances the CO₂ selective separation for the ionic liquid membranes (ILMs). ILMs are developed and characterized with two different ILs using the solution‐casting method. Three different blend compositions of ILs and polysulfone (PSF) are selected for each ILMs 10, 20, and 30 wt %. Effect of the different types of ILs such as triethanolamine formate (TEAF) and triethanolamine acetate (TEAA) are investigated on PSF‐based ILMs. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis of the membranes showed reasonable homogeneity between the ILs and PSF. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that by increasing the ILs loading thermal stability of the membranes improved. Mechanical analysis on developed membranes showed that ILs phase reduced the amount of plastic flow of the PSF phase and therefore, fracture takes place at gradually lower strains with increasing ILs content. Gas permeation evaluation was carried out on the developed membranes for CO₂/CH₄ separation between 2 bar to 10 bar feed pressure. Results showed that CO₂ permeance increases with the addition of ILs 10–30 wt % in ILMs. With 20–30 wt % TEAF‐ILMs and TEAA‐ILMs, the highest selectivity of a CO₂/CH₄ 53.96 ± 0.3, 37.64 ± 0.2 and CO₂ permeance 69.5 ± 0.6, 55.21 ± 0.3 is observed for treated membrane at 2–10 bar. The selectivity using mixed gas test at various CO₂/CH₄ compositions shows consistent results with the ideal gas selectivity. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
