Design of quaternary ammonium type-ionic liquids as desiccants for an air-conditioning system

ABSTRACT: The liquid desiccant air-conditioning system allows reducing energy consumption compared to the conventional compressor-type air conditioners. In order to develop desiccant materials for air conditioners, we have investigated the dehumidification capability of quaternary ammonium Ionic Liquids (ILs) and the equilibrium water vapor pressure of aqueous solutions of these ammonium salts. Among the seven tested types of ILs, 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethan-1-aminium dimethylphosphate ([Ch][DMPO4]) displayed the best dehumidification capability and the lowest equilibrium water vapor pressure. Furthermore, the 80% aqueous solution of [Ch][DMPO4] exhibited a less corrosive effect on four types of metals, i.e., steel (hot dip zinc-aluminum alloy plated steel), copper (C1100P), aluminum (A5052), and stainless steel (SUS: SUS304). It should be noted that this [Ch][DMPO4] is not only non-toxic but also exhibits a stable nature; the aqueous solution produced no odor after storing for over 1 year under ambient conditions. Graphical abstract We found that 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethan-1-aminium dimethylphosphate ([Ch][DMPO4]) exhibited excellent dehumidification capability with a high dehumidification rate. We strongly expect that the liquid desiccant-type air conditioner using the [Ch][DMPO4] aqueous solution might contribute to avoiding an outbreak of a new type of corona virus infection in the near future.Image 1

Characterization and Solution Properties of Quaternary-Ammonium-Salt-Type Amphiphilic Gemini Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Quaternary-ammonium-salt-type amphiphilic gemini compounds (C m -2-C n X, where m and n represent the alkyl chain lengths; m = 4, 6, 8, 10; n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10; m ≥ n; and X indicates the counterion BF4, PF6, OTf, FSA, or NTf2) were synthesized by the quaternization of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine and n-alkyl bromide and a subsequent ion-exchange reaction with five different counterions. For comparison, the corresponding monomeric compounds (C n X, n = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) were also synthesized. The melting points of the compounds were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry, and those with melting points lower than 100 °C were treated as ionic liquids during the subsequent measurements. The amphiphilic gemini compounds exhibited the lowest melting points (44-49 °C) when bulky NTf2 - was the counterion and the degree of dissymmetry between the two alkyl chains was 0.4 < n/m < 0.75. However, their melting points were not similar to those of the monomeric compounds with NTf2 - and n = 4-10 (<29 °C). The gemini ionic liquids exhibited significantly lower conductivities and higher viscosities than those of the corresponding monomeric ionic liquids. This is because of the decrease in the mobility of the cation molecules caused by the gemini structure, in which the two monomeric compounds are connected by a spacer. The gemini ionic liquids also showed higher densities than those of the corresponding monomeric ionic liquids, owing to the dimer of the gemini structure. Further, the gemini ionic liquids were adsorbed readily at the air/water interface and oriented themselves but did not show the critical micelle concentration for the concentration range over which they could be dissolved in water. The amphiphilic monomeric and gemini ionic liquids also tended to form ion pairs in aqueous solutions, as the length of their alkyl chain was relatively short.

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs) and Ionic Liquids (ILs) as Biocides: From Simple Antiseptics to Tunable Antimicrobials.

Project description:Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) belong to a well-known class of cationic biocides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. They are used as essential components in surfactants, personal hygiene products, cosmetics, softeners, dyes, biological dyes, antiseptics, and disinfectants. Simple but varied in their structure, QACs are divided into several subclasses: Mono-, bis-, multi-, and poly-derivatives. Since the beginning of the 20th century, a significant amount of work has been dedicated to the advancement of this class of biocides. Thus, more than 700 articles on QACs were published only in 2020, according to the modern literature. The structural variability and diverse biological activity of ionic liquids (ILs) make them highly prospective for developing new types of biocides. QACs and ILs bear a common key element in the molecular structure-quaternary positively charged nitrogen atoms within a cyclic or acyclic structural framework. The state-of-the-art research level and paramount demand in modern society recall the rapid development of a new generation of tunable antimicrobials. This review focuses on the main QACs exhibiting antimicrobial and antifungal properties, commercial products based on QACs, and the latest discoveries in QACs and ILs connected with biocide development.

Surface Adsorption Properties and Layer Structures of Homogeneous Polyoxyethylene-Type Nonionic Surfactants in Quaternary-Ammonium-Salt-Type Amphiphilic Gemini Ionic Liquids with Oxygen- or Nitrogen-Containing Spacers.

Project description:The amphiphilic ionic liquids containing an alkyl chain in molecules form nano-structure in the bulk, although they also show surface activity and form aggregates in aqueous solutions. Although insights into the layer structures of ionic liquids were obtained using X-ray and neutron scattering techniques, the nanostructures of ionic liquids remain unclear. Herein, the surface adsorption and bulk properties of homogeneous polyoxyethylene (EO)-type nonionic surfactants (CxEO6; x = 8, 12, or 16) were elucidated in quaternary-ammonium-salt-type amphiphilic gemini ionic liquids with oxygen or nitrogen-containing spacers [2Cn(Spacer) NTf2; (Spacer) = (2-O-2), (2-O-2-O-2), (2-N-2), (2/2-N-2), (3), (5), or (6); n = 10, 12, or 14 for (2-O-2) and n = 12 for all other spacers] by surface tension, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and viscosity measurements. The surface tension of C12EO6 in 2Cn(Spacer) NTf2 with oxygen-containing spacers increased with increasing concentration of C12EO6, becoming close to that of C12EO6 alone, indicating that the amphiphilic ionic liquid adsorbed at the interface was replaced with CxEO6. In contrast, both 2Cn(Spacer) NTf2 with nitrogen-containing spacers and nonionic surfactants remained adsorbed at the interface at high concentrations. In the bulk, it was found that 2Cn(Spacer) NTf2 formed layer structures, in which the spacing depended on the alkyl chain length of CxEO6. These insights are expected to advance the practical applications of amphiphilic ionic liquids such as ion permeation, drug solubilization, and energy delivery systems.

Design and Characterization of Naphthalene Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Surfactants have a great number of applications. Among these chemicals, petroleum sulfonates have been widely used due to their effectiveness in reducing interfacial tension. This is the case of sodium octylnaphthalene sulfonate which is a solid with a very low solubility in water. To overcome these drawbacks, this work aimed to synthesize new surface active ionic liquids based on a naphthalene sulfonate anion and traditional cations of these salts (imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, and pyridinium). The new chemicals showed high thermal stability, ionic liquid nature, and a stronger surfactant character than the original naphthalene. Moreover, they were found to be water soluble which greatly facilitates their application in the form of aqueous formulations. 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium 4-(n-octyl)naphthalene-1-sulfonate showed the best capacity to reduce water-air and water-oil interfacial tension.

Synthesis and properties of novel ammonium-based room-temperature gemini ionic liquids.

Project description:Ammonium-based room-temperature asymmetrical gemini ionic liquids, 1-trimethylammonium-3-(pyridinium)propane bisdicyanamide ([N111C3Py][DCA]2) and 1-trimethylammonium-3-(1-methylpiperidinium)propane bisdicyanamide ([N111C3MPi][DCA]2) were respectively synthesized and structurally characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Thermal stability of the gemini ionic liquids was determined by thermogravimetric analysis under a pure nitrogen atmosphere. Densities and viscosities of pure GILs and their binary mixtures with acetonitrile (MeCN) were investigated over the entire range of mole fractions at various temperatures, from 288.15 to 333.15 K, under atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the excess molar volumes (V E m) and the viscosity deviations (Δη) of the binary mixtures were evaluated and well fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial expression. The negative values of V E m and Δη result from strong self-association and interaction between the gemini ionic liquid molecules and MeCN. Results are discussed in terms of molecular interactions and structures.

Dynamics in Quaternary Ionic Liquids with Non-Flexible Anions: Insights from Mechanical Spectroscopy.

Project description:The present work investigates how mechanical properties and ion dynamics in ionic liquids (ILs) can be affected by ILs' design while considering possible relationships between different mechanical and transport properties. Specifically, we study mechanical properties of quaternary ionic liquids with rigid anions by means of Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA). We are able to relate the DMA results to the rheological and transport properties provided by viscosity, conductivity, and diffusion coefficient measurements. A good agreement is found in the temperature dependence of different variables described by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann model. In particular, the mechanical spectra of all the measured liquids showed the occurrence of a relaxation, for which the analysis suggested its attribution to a diffusive process, which becomes evident when the ion dynamics are not affected by the fast structural reorganization of flexible anions on a local level.

Partial delignification of wood and membrane preparation using a quaternary ammonium ionic liquid.

Project description:This work determined that southern yellow pine wood can almost be completely dissolved in the quaternary ammonium ionic liquid tetrabutylammonium acetate with dimethyl sulfoxide (in a 2:8 mass ratio), after minimal grinding, upon heating at 85 °C for three dissolution/reconstitution cycles, each 1.5 h. Approximately 34.6% of the native lignin and 67.4% of the native carbohydrates present in the original wood can subsequently be extracted, respectively, and were assessed. A gradual decrease in lignin with increased extraction cycles resulted in increased crystallinity index of the cellulose II in the cellulose-rich residue, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction. An increasingly homogeneous macrostructure in the cellulose-rich residue was also evident from scanning electron microscopy images. Membranes cast directly from either wood or cellulose-rich residue solutions in the same tetrabutylammonium acetate/dimethyl sulfoxide system, were prepared using a papermaking-like process. Morphological and mechanical studies indicated that lignin extraction made the membranes more uniform and flexible. Systematic increases in the fibril lengths and orientations of the recovered materials were also found with decreasing lignin contents on the basis of atomic force microscopy analysis. This work demonstrates that relatively efficient partial separation of pine wood and subsequent membrane preparation are possible using a quaternary ammonium ionic liquid.

Transcriptional toxicity of imidazolium- and cholinium-based ionic liquids

Project description:Ionic Liquids are a broad group of salts with low melting points that can be specifically tuned for a broad range of applications. Despite being initially considered “green” solvents, their better environmental friendliness compared to traditional solvents has been increasingly challenged. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular effects of ILs exposure by using RNA-sequencing to study differential gene expression patterns. Thus, we exposed Daphnia magna to 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C2mim]Cl), 1-dodecyl chloride-3-methylimidazolium ([C12mim]Cl) and cholinium chloride ([Chol]Cl). Results suggest that the three ILs share several mechanisms of toxicity, including cellular membrane and cytoskeleton damage, oxidative stress, inhibition of antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial affectation, changes in protein biosynthesis and energy production, DNA damage, and ultimately, programmed cell death and disease initiation. Overall, the dataset revealed that [C2mim]Cl and [C12mim]Cl were, respectively, the least and the most toxic ILs at the transcriptional level. Also, it is reinforced that [Chol]Cl is not devoid of environmental hazardous potential. Unique gene expression signatures could also be identified for each IL.

Treatment of Coffee Husk with Ammonium-Based Ionic Liquids: Lignin Extraction, Degradation, and Characterization.

Project description:Four ammonium-based ionic liquids were synthesized for the selective extraction and degradation of lignin from coffee husk. The extracted lignin samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, gel permeation chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, UV-vis, 1H and 13C NMR, heteronuclear single-quantum coherence-NMR, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy analyses. The analyzed results confirmed that these ionic liquids are able to effectively extract and decompose the lignin to smaller molecules from the biomass. Experimental results show that a significantly high yield, 71.2% of the original lignin, has been achieved. This processing method is an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly green route for producing high-added-value lignin from wasted coffee husk.
