To separate thioglycolic acid (TGA) from its aqueous solution by ionic liquids (ILs), sixty imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were screened by using the COSMO-SAC model based on the evaluation of the selectivity, capacity and performance index, which were derived from the activity coefficient at infinite dilution. Meanwhile, the effects of the different anions and the alkyl chain length of the cations for the separation of TGA were analysed by the sigma-profile for each component. Consequently, 1-octyl-3methyl-imidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([OMIM]OTf), 1-octyl-3-methyl-imidazolium perchlorate ([OMIM]ClO4), 1-octyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([OMIM]PF6) and 1-octyl-3-methyl-imidazolium aluminum tetrachloride ([OMIM]AlCl4), were selected to extract TGA from it aqueous solution. The results revealed that the selected ILs can extract TGA effectively from its aqueous solution. The experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) for the four ternary systems ([OMIM]OTf/[OMIM]ClO4/[OMIM]PF6/[OMIM]AlCl4 + TGA + water) were determined. The LLE data for the systems were correlated by the NRTL model, and the results showed that the NRTL model correlated the LLE data nicely for the systems. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Effect of 2-Pyrrolidone Protic Ionic Liquids on Removal of Pyridine from Fossil Fuel Model Mixtures

Hui Yang, Dan Wang, Jun Gao, Lianzheng Zhang, Tao Zhang, Dongmei Xu, Yinglong Wang

Summary: To reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced from the combustion of nitrogen compounds (NCs) in fossil fuels, it is important to decrease the NCs content. In this study, three different anions-based protic ionic liquids (PrILs) were synthesized and used as extractants to extract pyridine. The results indicate that the hydrogen bond formed between pyridine and the three PrILs is the main driving force for the extraction of pyridine from the model mixtures.

Thermodynamic analysis of a carbon capture hydrogen production process for end-of-life tires using plasma gasification

Yixin Ma, Huaqing Qi, Jifu Zhang, Peizhe Cui, Zhaoyou Zhu, Yinglong Wang

Summary: In light of the escalating number of end-of-life tires and their environmental impact, this study proposes a disposal process that utilizes plasma gasification to convert these tires into syngas and generate hydrogen. Comparing the effects of oxygen and air versus steam and air on hydrogen production, it was found that using steam and air as the gasification agent yielded a carbon conversion rate, energy recovery rate, and exergy efficiency of 99.12%, 93.67%, and 80.04% respectively. Moreover, a suitable carbon capture process was explored, with results showing that the monoethanolamine absorption process outperformed Rectisol in terms of CO2 capture rate. However, the monoethanolamine absorption process had a lower exergy efficiency of 40.04% compared to Rectisol. The most efficient process for hydrogen production from end-of-life tires by plasma gasification involved steam and air as the gasification agent and integrated Rectisol for carbon capture, with a total exergy efficiency of 36.45%. This study provides theoretical support for end-of-life tire management and pollution reduction.

Peizhe Cui, Yaru Zhou, Tingting Song, Zaifeng Xu, Jifu Zhang, Yangyang Liu, Yinglong Wang, HuaQing Qi, Lei Han, Sheng Yang

Summary: This study proposes a low-carbon ammonia synthesis process based on the cold energy utilization of liquified natural gas regasification to reduce the high energy consumption of ammonia synthesis. The process uses the cold energy released from liquified natural gas regasification as the refrigeration source for the air separation unit and carbon capture and storage unit, improving the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency. The total efficiency of the process is 42.69%, with an ammonia production capacity of 35.07 t/h. The proposed process effectively solves the high energy consumption in ammonia synthesis and provides a valuable production route for low-carbon ammonia synthesis.

Summary: Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were used to separate the azeotropes of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data was crucial in designing the separation process, and three appropriate DESs (ChCl-Urea, ChCl-Gly, ChCl-EG) were selected. LLE data of DMC-IPA-(ChCl-Urea), DMC-IPA-(ChCl-EG), and DMC-IPA-(ChCl-Gly) were obtained through experiments, and the binary interaction parameters were determined using the NRTL model. The extraction mechanism of the DESs and the formation mechanism of the combined structures (DES-IPA/DMC) were explored through ESP and AIM analysis.

Prediction of the Solubility of Acid Gas Hydrogen Sulfide in Green Solvent Ionic Liquids via Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship Models Based on the Molecular Structure

Yinglong Wang, Tianxiong Liu, Zihao Dong, Wenguang Zhu, Yusen Chen, Mengjin Zhou, Peizhe Cui, Zhaoyou Zhu

Summary: This study establishes a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model of ionic liquids (ILs) using molecular descriptors (MD), molecular identifiers (MI), and their combinations. The QSPR model, built by coupling deep neural network (DNN) and random forest (RF), shows the best performance when using MI to represent ILs and DNN. The Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) method is applied to analyze features and obtain valuable molecular structure information for prediction. Different MD and MI contribute differently in the prediction of H2S solubility and can correctly identify the impact of environmental factors (temperature and pressure). Additionally, the influence of different carbon chain lengths on the solubility of H2S is studied by calculating the electrostatic potential (ESP) between H2S and ILs.
