The CO2 Absorption in Flue Gas Using Mixed Ionic Liquids.

ABSTRACT: Because of the appealing properties, ionic liquids (ILs) are believed to be promising alternatives for the CO2 absorption in the flue gas. Several ILs, such as [NH2emim][BF4], [C4mim][OAc], and [NH2emim[OAc], have been used to capture CO2 of the simulated flue gas in this work. The structural changes of the ILs before and after absorption were also investigated by quantum chemical methods, FTIR, and NMR technologies. However, the experimental results and theoretical calculation showed that the flue gas component SO2 would significantly weaken the CO2 absorption performance of the ILs. SO2 was more likely to react with the active sites of the ILs than CO2. To improve the absorption capacity, the ionic liquid (IL) mixture [C4mim][OAc]/ [NH2emim][BF4] were employed for the CO2 absorption of the flue gas. It is found that the CO2 absorption capacity would be increased by about 25%, even in the presence of SO2. The calculation results suggested that CO2 could not compete with SO2 for reacting with the IL during the absorption process. Nevertheless, SO2 might be first captured by the [NH2emim][BF4] of the IL mixture, and then the [C4mim][OAc] ionic liquid could absorb more CO2 without the interference of SO2.

Project description:For many years, there has been a growing interest in technologies enabling the replacement of conventional polymer composites with new materials made from renewable raw materials. It is important to assess the behaviour of biocomposites in various environments, including humid conditions. Recently, ionic liquids have been studied as potential modificators of polymers properties, especially flame retardants. In previous study the impact of ionic liquids on thermal and mechanical properties of biocomposites was assessed. In this study the influence of ionic liquids on moisture absorption properties of biocomposites at different relative humidities (RH) was assessed. The biocomposites were built from polyethylene from renewable resources reinforced with flax or hemp fibers. The effect of the addition of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5 wt.% phosphonium ionic liquids on the moisture absorption properties of biopolyethylene biocomposite reinforced with natural fibers were tested. Mixtures of biopolyethylene, natural fibers and ionic liquid were calendered at 180 °C and then were compounded by injection moulding. The prepared samples were then characterized for their moisture uptake at 30%, 50% and 100% RH. Moisture absorption by biocomposites depended on the structure of the ionic liquid and the type of fiber. The saturation of moisture of about 0.054% was found for samples modified with tributylethylphosphonium diethyl phosphate and reinforced with flax and hemp fibers at RH 100%. The environmental resistance of the materials was found to be improved after the addition of trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinate. Biocomposites with hemp fibers showed slightly less absorption than with flax fibers. It was also observed that ionic liquids: (bis (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinate trihexyltetradecylphosphonate) and (bis (2-ethylhexyl) trihexyltetradecylphosphonium phosphate) protect PE biocomposites with plant fibers against mold in high humidity conditions (RH 100%).
