Abstract:

Two kinds of aprotic solvents, polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether(NHD) and NN-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), which have excellent desulphurization and decarbonization ability, were selected to construct composite of BmimFeCl4 and solvent as novel decarbonization agents. The effects of temperature, mass ratio of BmimFeCl4/solvent and pressure on CO2 solubility were investigated. The results show that high pressure and low temperature are more conducive to the dissolution of CO2. The Henry coefficient of BmimFeCl4/DMAC(7∶3) with 0.9181 MPa·L·mol-1 at 298.2 K, is lower than BmimFeCl4/NHD under the same conditions, indicating that the former has a larger absorption capacity for carbon dioxide. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) spectra show that the absorptions of carbon dioxide by the two composites depends on physical absorption between CO2 molecule and the functional groups of BmimFeCl4 before and after CO2 absorption. After five absorption-regeneration cycles of CO2 with the two kinds of the iron-based ionic liquid composites, the amounts of CO2 absorption reached 92.53% and 99.04% of the first absorption for BmimFeCl4/NHD and BmimFeCl4/DMAC, respectively. density functional theory(DFT) calculations and IRI analyses show that CO2 is more likely to interact with [Bmim]+ cations and DMAC molecules in BmimFeCl4/DMAC, nevertheless, in BmimFeCl4/NHD, CO2 is more likely to interact with [FeCl4- anions and NHD molecules.
