Carbon Dioxide Solubilities in Decanoic Acid-Based Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents.

ABSTRACT: The solubility of CO2 in hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has been measured for the first time. Six different hydrophobic DESs are studied in the temperature range from 298 to 323 K and at CO2 pressures up to 2 MPa. The results are evaluated by comparing the solubility data with existing hydrophilic DESs and currently applied physical solvents and fluorinated ionic liquids. The DESs are prepared by mixing decanoic acid with a quaternary ammonium salt with different halide anions and alkyl chain lengths. The measured CO2 solubilities are similar to those found in renowned fluorinated ILs, while the heats of CO2 absorption are in the range of nonpolar solvents. The presented DESs show good potential to be used as CO2 capture agents.

Project description:Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been considered as possible electrolytes for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value-added products such as formic and oxalic acids. The applicability of pure DES as electrolytes is hindered by high viscosities. Mixtures of DES with organic solvents can be a promising way of designing superior electrolytes by exploiting the advantages of each solvent type. In this study, densities, viscosities, diffusivities, and ionic conductivities of mixed solvents comprising DES (i.e., reline and ethaline), methanol, and propylene carbonate were computed using molecular simulations. To provide a quantitative assessment of the affinity and mass transport of CO2 and oxalic and formic acids in the mixed solvents, the solubilities and self-diffusivities of these solutes were also computed. Our results show that the addition of DES to the organic solvents enhances the solubilities of oxalic and formic acids, while the solubility of CO2 in the ethaline-containing mixtures are in the same order of magnitude with the respective pure organic components. A monotonic increase in the densities and viscosities of the mixed solvents is observed as the mole fraction of DES in the mixture increases, with the exception of the density of ethaline-propylene carbonate which shows the opposite behavior due to the high viscosity of the pure organic component. The self-diffusivities of all species in the mixtures significantly decrease as the mole fraction of DES approaches unity. Similarly, the self-diffusivities of the dissolved CO2 and the oxalic and formic acids also decrease by at least 1 order of magnitude as the composition of the mixture shifts from the pure organic component to pure DES. The computed ionic conductivities of all mixed solvents show a maximum value for mole fractions of DES in the range from 0.2 to 0.6 and decrease as more DES is added to the mixtures. Since for most mixtures studied here no prior experimental measurements exist, our findings can serve as a first data set based on which further investigation of DES-containing electrolyte solutions can be performed for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to useful chemicals.

Project description:Residues of oxytetracycline (OTC), a veterinary antibiotic and growth promoter, can be present in animal-derived foods; their consumption is harmful to human health and their presence must therefore be detected and regulated. However, the maximum residue limit is low, and consequently highly sensitive and accurate detectors are required to detect the residues. In this study, a novel highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of OTC was developed using a screen-printed electrode modified with fluorine-doped activated carbon (F-AC/SPE) combined with a novel deep eutectic solvent (DES). The modification of activated carbon by doping with fluorine atoms (F-AC) enhanced the adsorption and electrical activity of the activated carbon. The novel hydrophobic DES was prepared from tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) and a fatty acid (malonic acid) using a green synthesis method. The addition of the DES increased the electrochemical response of F-AC for OTC detection; furthermore, it induced preconcentration of OTC, which increased its detectability. The electrostatic interactions between DES and OTC as well as the adsorption of OTC on the surface of the modified electrode through H-bonding and π-π interactions helped in OTC detection, which was quantified based on the decrease in the anodic peak potential (E pa = 0.3 V) of AC. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Under optimum conditions, the calibration plot of OTC exhibited a linear response in the range 5-1500 μg L-1, with a detection limit of 1.74 μg L-1. The fabricated electrochemical sensor was successfully applied to determine the OTC in shrimp pond and shrimp samples with recoveries of 83.8-100.5% and 93.3-104.5%, respectively. In addition to the high sensitivity of OTC detection, the proposed electrochemical sensor is simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
