应用循环伏安法研究了Eu3+在亲水性离子液体—氯化1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑([BMIM]Cl)中的电极过程.实验表明,工作电极为玻碳电极时,[BMIM]Cl的电化学窗口为-1.7～0.80V(vs.Ag/AgCl).Eu3+在[BMIM]Cl中被还原为Eu2+,此电极反应受电荷迁移和物质扩散共同控制.当体系温度从55℃升高到75℃时,Eu3+在[BMIM]Cl中的扩散系数D从3.75×10-9cm2/s变化到1.32×10-8cm2/s,该反应活化能Ea为62.6kJ/mol.     

少量离子液体对有机相R.miehei脂肪酶催化合成辛酸戊酯的影响

研究了疏水性离子液体[BMIM][PF6]对脂肪酶R. miehei有机相催化合成辛酸戊酯反应的影响,并结合荧光发射光谱分析R. miehei构象变化与酶活性表达的关联。结果表明,该酯化反应在饱和烷烃中的初速度比在芳烃中的大,且当溶剂logP为1.5～3.5时,反应初速度随logP的增加而降低。在不同有机溶剂中,加入占辛酸质量1%的[BMIM][PF6]均导致反应初速度降低15%左右,降低幅度几乎不与溶剂种类有关。表明[BMIM][PF6]对该反应的影响与所在溶剂系统无关,而只与离子液体的加入有关。[BMIM][PF6]加入量为辛酸质量1%～3%时,以壬烷为溶剂时的反应初速度随[BMIM][PF6]加入量的增加而降低,进一步表明离子液体的加入量是影响反应初速度的重要因素。荧光光谱分析表明,酶活性的表现与酶分子的构象变化有一定的相关性。

Headspace Single Drop Microextraction Using Micellar Ionic Liquid Extraction Solvents

A headspace single drop microextraction (SDME) method using extraction solvents comprised of micellar ionic liquids (ILs) was used to perform the extraction of 17 aromatic compounds from aqueous solution and coupled with liquid chromatography. The effects of various experimental parameters including type of micellar IL extraction solvent, stir rate, extraction time, volume of the microdroplet, and addition of organic solvent were investigated and optimized. Two different micellar solutions were formed by dissolving 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([DMIM][Br]) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]). It was observed that the enrichment factors of the 17 studied compounds were all enhanced with the micellar ionic liquid extraction solvent compared to the neat [BMIM][Cl] IL. The highest sensitivity was obtained with the [BMIM][Cl]–[DMIM][Br] micellar solution for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with high molecular weight and fused rings while the [BMIM][Cl]–SDS micellar solution was proven to be more sensitive for smaller, more polar molecules. The detection limits were lower when utilizing the [BMIM][Cl]–SDS and [BMIM][Cl]–[DMIM][Br] extraction solvents compared to the neat [BMIM][Cl] extraction solvent. The reproducibility of the extraction method at 20 °C using extraction solvents composed of [BMIM][Cl]–SDS and [BMIM][Cl]–[DMIM][Br] ranged from 6.7 to 14.0 and 4.2 to 14.7%, respectively.     

吡啶类离子液体萃取-氧化脱除含硫化合物

Liquid-liquid extraction of lysozyme using a dye-modified ionic liquid

An affinity-dye, Cibacron Blue 3GA (CB), derivatized organic salt [BMIM]3[CB] was synthesized for lysozyme extraction. This compound was formed by mixing an ionic liquid (IL) [BMIM][Cl] and the silver salt of CB. Liquid-liquid extractions of lysozyme from the aqueous and [BMIM]3[CB] in [BMIM][PF6] solutions were examined in this study. The transfer of lysozyme from the aqueous phase to the IL phase decreased while the pH of the aqueous phase increased. An extraction higher than 90% was observed at pH 4. Under a high ionic strength, the lysozyme would transform back from the IL phase into the aqueous phase. Lysozyme molecules were almost quantitatively recovered from the IL phase to the aqueous solutions of 1M KCl under pH 9-11. It appeared that the extraction was specific for lysozyme in contrast to cytochrome c, ovalbumin, and bovine serum albumin. The extraction efficiency of the IL phase remained essentially the same after eight cycles of extraction.     

Efficient Extractive Desulfurization of Fuel Oils Using N‐Pyrrolidone/Alkylphosphate‐Based Ionic Liquids

Four BrØsted acid ionic liquids (ILS) [MMP][DMP], [MEP][DEP], [HMP][DMP] and [HEP][DEP] were synthesized and used as extractants for desulfurization of aromatic sulfur compounds in model oil. The mutual solubility of four ILs were investigated. The extraction equilibrium of four ILs could be reached in as soon as 5 min and the extraction capability followed the order [MMP][DMP]>[MEP][DEP]>[HEP][DEP]>[HMP][DMP]. The S extraction showed the highest efficiency under the conditions of 30°C, 30 min and 1:1 (V/V) IL:oil. Under the optimal condition, 70.9% of thiophene (TS), 76.9% of benzothiophene (BT) and 87.5% of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in n‐octane could be efficiently removed by [MMP][DMP]. The multiple extraction and regeneration performance of [MMP][DMP] for TS was also investigated and the results were satisfying. These results suggest that [MMP][DMP] has the best extraction capability and can serve as a promising solvent for extractive desulfurization of fuel oils.     

Structures of ionic liquids with different anions studied by infrared vibration spectroscopy

We investigated the structures of ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide [BMIM][I] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF4]) and their aqueous mixtures using attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared absorption and Raman spectroscopy. The ATR spectrum in the CHx (x = 1, 2, 3) vibration region from 2800 to 3200 cm-1 was very different between [BMIM][BF4] and [BMIM][I] even though all the spectral features in this region were from the butyl chain and the imidazolium ring of the same cation. The spectrum did not change appreciably irrespective of the water concentration for [BMIM][BF4], whereas the spectrum from [BMIM][I] showed significant changes as the water concentration was increased, especially in CH-vibration modes from the imidazolium ring. For very diluted solutions both aqueous mixtures of [BMIM][I] and [BMIM][BF4] showed very similar spectra. Mixing of [BMIM][I] with heavy water (D2O) facilitated the isotopic exchange of the proton attached to the most acidic carbon of the imidazolium ring into deuterium from D2O, whereas even prolonged exposure to D2O did not induce any isotopic exchange for [BMIM][BF4]. Raman spectra around 600 cm(-1) indicative of the butyl chain conformation also changed differently as the water concentration was increased between [BMIM][I] and [BMIM][BF4]. These differences are considered to come from the variation in the position of the anion, where I- is expected to be closer to the C(2) hydrogen of the imidazolium cation and interacting more specifically as compared to BF(4-).     

Extractive desulfurization of fuel oil with metal-based ionic liquids

Several metal-based ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized and used as extractants for the desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in simulated fuel oil. The effects of several anion and metal ions, n(ILs)/n(metal) as mole ratio, V_IL/V_oil and extractive times on the removal ratio of DBT were investigated in detail. The results showed that [BMIM]HSO₄/FeCl₃(BMIM was short for 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazole) was superior to the other ILs for the extractive desulfurization. A total of 100% of DBT was removed at room temperature in 5 min with V_[BMIM]HSO₄=FeCl₃=V_oil=1:1. The extractive activity of [BMIM]HSO₄/FeCl₃ IL did not change almost after five runs. Extractive desulfurization of different sulfur compounds and commercial diesel fuel oil were also examined. The removal ratios of the sulfur compounds as the reaction substrates were all over 90% and the sulfur content of commercial diesel oil decreased to 120 ppm from 12,400 ppm.     

The thermochemistry of solvation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids in benzene

ABSTRACT

The present work is devoted to the thermochemical study of solvation of ionic liquids (IL) in benzene. The solution enthalpies of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [EMIM][C(CN)₃], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF₄], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HMIM][PF₆], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [OMIM][BF₄], 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [EMIM][NTf₂], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMIM][NTf₂] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate [BMIM][TfO] in benzene were measured. The solvation enthalpies of imidazolium-based IL were calculated. Molar refractions of imidazolium-based IL form literature data on density and refractive indexes of IL were also calculated. The linear correlation between solvation enthalpy and molar refraction of IL was observed. This correlation can be used to calculate the vaporization enthalpy of imidazolium-based IL from solution calorimetry data.     

The Synthesis of Anatase TiO2 Nanoparticles by Solvothermal Method using Ionic Liquid as Additive

The solvothermal reactions of Ti(OiPr)₄ in alcohol using ionic liquid as additive were investigated. In the presence of [BMIM][Cl], [BMIM][Br], [BMIM][NTf₂], [BMIM][SO₃Me], [BMIM][SO₄Me], or [BMIM][OTf] (BMIM = 1‐Butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium), pure anatase nanoparticles were obtained. The controlled hydrolysis of Ti(OiPr)₄ in the presence of ionic liquids to form titanium oxo clusters plays a key role in the formation of anatase nanostructures, and ionic liquids can be repeatedly used to synthesise anatase nanoparticles. However, in the presence of [BMIM][PF₆], [BMIM]₂[Ti(OH)₆] was obtained by an anion exchange reaction.     

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for ethanol–water system containing different ionic liquids at atmospheric pressure

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for ethanol–water systems containing ionic liquids (ILs) 1-methyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([MMIM][DMP]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([EMIM][DEP]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIM][Br]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF₆]) at atmospheric pressure (101.32 kPa) were measured with a circulation still. The results showed that the VLE of ethanol–water systems in the presence of different ILs was obviously different from that of the IL-free system. All ILs studied showed a salting-out effect, which gave rise to a change of the relative volatility of ethanol, and even to an elimination of the azeotropic point. It was found that the salting-out effect followed the order of [BMIM][Cl] > [BMIM][Br] > [BMIM][PF₆] and [MMIM][DMP] > [EMIM][DEP], which was ascribed to the preferential solvation ability of the ions resulting from the dissociation of the IL.     

Revealing long-range density fluctuations in dialkylimidazolium chloride ionic liquids by dynamic light scattering

In this study, the structures and dynamics of ionic liquids of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM][Cl]) and 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]) were studied by dynamic light scattering with polarized and depolarized geometries in the temperature range from 300 to 400 K. The temperature range covered supercooled and liquid states for [BMIM][Cl] and covered the liquid state for [AMIM][Cl]. The results show that for these ionic liquids at all chosen temperatures only one ultraslow relaxation is observed in the polarized component of dynamic light scattering, however, the ultraslow relaxation is not observed in the depolarized component. The ultraslow relaxation exhibited several typical features of the "cluster" mode generally found in glass-forming liquids and polymer melts, such as diffusive, strongly scattering-vector-dependent, and nearly exponential characters, which thus corresponded to long-range density fluctuations. The physical origin for long-range density fluctuations was the existence of heterogeneities with large characteristic length scales in these ionic liquids. It was further considered that molecules of these ionic liquids not only tended to aggregate to form dynamic clusters but also possibly formed dynamic networks in the supercooled state and the heterogeneities could exist even at temperatures higher than the melting points.
