The separation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) from aqueous solution by adsorption has been investigated using a commercial activated carbon (AC) as adsorbent. Equilibrium experiments were carried out for obtaining the adsorption isotherms of ILs on AC at different temperatures. The influence of both cation and anion was analyzed by studying 17 different ILs. The role of the surface chemistry of the adsorbent was also examined using ACs modified by oxidative and thermal treatments. The incorporation of IL on the AC surface was studied by N-2 adsorption-desorption measurements and elemental analysis. In addition to this, a COSMO-RS computational approach was developed to estimate molecular and thermodynamic properties of the solvent-adsorbate-adsorbent system, which allowed us to analyze the adsorption mechanism from a molecular point of view. The results of this work indicate that the adsorption with AC is an affordable environmental application to remove hydrophobic ILs from water streams, proposing the use of acetone for adsorbent regeneration. It has also been demonstrated that the adsorption of refractory hydrophilic ILs can be improved by modifying the amount and nature of oxygen groups on the AC surface, particularly by including hydroxyl groups to promote hydrogen-bonding interactions with the basic groups of hydrophilic ILs.

Summary: This study improves the process of producing propylene carbonate from CO2 and propylene oxide by using [P66614][Br] as a catalyst through an integrated experimental-computational approach. Experimental results show that the use of fatty alcohols as solvents can increase the yield of propylene carbonate and achieve the separation of ionic liquids and propylene carbonate, while water reduces the selectivity of propylene carbonate. By controlling the dosages of fatty alcohols and water, energy consumption, vacuum requirements, and operating costs can be minimized.

High-performance epoxy nanocomposites via constructing a rigid-flexible interface with graphene oxide functionalized by polyetheramine and f-SiO2

Guodong Shi, Jian Song, Xiaoxiao Tian, Tongtong Liu, Zhanjun Wu

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.
