咪唑离子液体及其萃取体系的辐射效应研究

离子液体因其低挥发性,高热稳定性及在萃取金属离子方面的优良表现被认为是乏燃料后处理中萃取分离放射性核素的新一代绿色溶剂。但从乏燃料后处理强辐射的应用环境来看,需要首先对离子液体及其萃取体系的辐射效应进行系统研究和评估。本文以两种常见的憎水性咪唑离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐( )和1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑三氟甲基磺酰亚胺酸盐( )为例,综述了我们在离子液体及其萃取体系的γ辐射效应方面的最新研究进展,内容包括纯离子液体在氮气气氛下的辐射效应,硝酸对离子液体辐射效应的影响,离子液体辐解产物的分离分析及γ辐照对离子液体体系萃取金属离子的影响等。基于以上研究对离子液体用于乏燃料后处理的可行性进行了评估,同时对离子液体及其萃取体系的辐射效应研究进行了展望。     

γ辐射下CMPO/[C2mim][NTf2]的辐解及其对Eu3+萃取的影响

主要考察了辛基(苯基)-N, N-二异丁基胺甲酰基甲基氧化膦(CMPO)在1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑双三氟甲基磺酰胺酸盐([C₂mim][NTf₂])中的γ辐解行为,同时考察辐射对CMPO/[C₂mim][NTf₂]萃取能力的影响。通过超高效液相色谱-四极杆飞行时间质谱联用仪(UPLC/Q-TOF-MS)进行定量分析、辐解产物认定以及产物半定量分析。CMPO/正十二烷作为对比条件进行了相同研究。结果表明：CMPO在[C₂mim][NTf₂]中的辐解率低于其在正十二烷中,并且辐解路径不同。在正十二烷体系中,CMPO主要发生C―P、C―N键的断链,而在离子液体体系中CMPO主要发生异丁基脱除反应,并与[C₂mim]^+·、·CF₃等离子液体产生的自由基发生取代反应。综合辐解研究结果,我们提出CMPO/[C₂mim][NTf₂]的辐解路径,这加深了CMPO在离子液体中辐解机理的认识。最后,通过萃取实验发现,当硝酸浓度为0.01 mol·L^-1,辐照剂量为800 kGy时,CMPO/[C₂mim][NTf₂]对Eu³⁺的萃取率依旧达到99%以上。     

正辛醇的γ辐照稳定性及辐解产物分析

在高放射性废液后处理的萃取工艺中,正辛醇被认为是具有应用前景的稀释剂之一,而研究其γ辐射效应对指导其实际应用具有重要意义.本文对N_2环境下γ辐照后的正辛醇进行了紫外-可见(UV-Vis)光谱和傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱研究.结果表明正辛醇在100 kGy以下辐照后化学结构未发生变化,而吸收剂量增至300kGy时有羰基化合物生成.通过色谱(GC)和色质联用(GC-MS)进一步分析了高剂量(600 kGy)辐照后正辛醇的气体及液体辐解产物,发现主要气体产物为H_2,并伴有微量的CO_2和CH_4;主要液体产物为正辛醛,其占未辐解正辛醇的质量百分含量小于1%,并伴有少量正庚烷和8-羟基十五醇.对辐照后正辛醇的化学结构及辐解产物的分析表明,正辛醇在氮气下经γ辐照后,主要发生α碳原子上的C-H键断裂,并伴有β碳原子上的C-C键断裂.此外,抽氢反应也是正辛醇辐解的重要途径.

[C4mim][PF6]和[C4mim][NTf2]离子液体辐射诱导的相行为及荧光行为变化

离子液体因其低挥发性, 高热稳定性及优良的萃取性能被认为是萃取分离放射性核素的新一代绿色溶剂, 而研究离子液体本身的辐射效应是其实际应用的重要前提. 本文以60Co为辐射源, 系统研究了γ辐照对两种常见的憎水性咪唑离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐([C4mim][PF6])和1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑三氟甲基磺酰胺酸盐([C4mim][NTf2])的相行为及荧光行为的影响. 在相行为方面, γ辐照使离子液体的结晶驰豫时间增加, 导致其低温结晶延迟. 在荧光行为方面, γ辐照后离子液体的荧光光谱保持原有的“红边效应(red edge effect)”, 但随吸收剂量增加, 光谱整体发生红移(最大移动幅度达150 nm). 并且这种“红边效应”在辐照后离子液体的乙腈稀释剂中仍然存在, 且随稀释倍数增加光谱整体发生蓝移.

Ionic liquids in separation techniques

The growing interest in ionic liquids (ILs) has resulted in an exponentially increasing production of analytical applications. The potential of ILs in chemistry is related to their unique properties as non-molecular solvents: a negligible vapor pressure associated to a high thermal stability. ILs found uses in different sub-disciplines of analytical chemistry. After drawing a rapid picture of the physicochemical properties of selected ILs, this review focuses on their use in separation techniques: gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC) and electrophoretic methods (CE). In LC and CE, ILs are not used as pure solvents, but rather diluted in aqueous solutions. In this situation ILs are just salts. They are dual in nature. Too often the properties of the cations are taken as the properties of the IL itself. The lyotropic theory is recalled and the effects of a chaotropic anion are pointed out. Many results can be explained considering all ions present in the solution. Ion-pairing and ion-exchange mechanisms are always present, associated with hydrophobic interactions, when dealing with IL in diluted solutions. Chromatographic and electrophoretic methods are also mainly employed for the control and monitoring of ILs. These methods are also considered. ILs will soon be produced on an industrial scale and it will be necessary to develop reliable analytical procedures for their analysis and control.     

Electrodeposition in Ionic Liquids

Due to their attractive physico‐chemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) are increasingly used as deposition electrolytes. This review summarizes recent advances in electrodeposition in ILs and focuses on its similarities and differences with that in aqueous solutions. The electrodeposition in ILs is divided into direct and template‐assisted deposition. We detail the direct deposition of metals, alloys and semiconductors in five types of ILs, including halometallate ILs, air‐ and water‐stable ILs, deep eutectic solvents (DESs), ILs with metal‐containing cations, and protic ILs. Template‐assisted deposition of nanostructures and macroporous structures in ILs is also presented. The effects of modulating factors such as deposition conditions (current density, current density mode, deposition time, temperature) and electrolyte components (cation, anion, metal salts, additives, water content) on the morphology, compositions, microstructures and properties of the prepared materials are highlighted.     

Interface properties of ionic liquids containing metal ions: features and potentialities

Interfaces and surfaces are the regions where important events happen: catalysis, molecular recognition, charge transfer, polymerization, and many other critical processes take place at the boundary between one medium and another. In this article we discuss the interface (liquid/air) properties of ionic liquids (ILs) containing dissolved metal ions with the aim to show the possibility to use metal salts to transform ILs and their surfaces into engineered liquid supports to apply in material sciences, separation procedures or to use as optical devices.     

Extraction separation of rare-earth ions via competitive ligand complexations between aqueous and ionic-liquid phases

The extraction separation of rare earth elements is one of the most challenging separation processes in hydrometallurgy and advanced nuclear fuel cycles. The TALSPEAK process (trivalent actinide lanthanide separations by phosphorus-reagent extraction from aqueous komplexes) is a prime example of these separation processes. The objective of this paper is to explore the use of ionic liquids (ILs) for the TALSPEAK-like process, to further enhance its extraction efficiencies for lanthanides, and to investigate the potential of using this modified TALSPEAK process for separation of lanthanides among themselves. Eight imidazolium ILs ([C(n)mim][NTf(2)] and [C(n)mim][BETI], n = 4,6,8,10) and one pyrrolidinium IL ([C(4)mPy][NTf(2)]) were investigated as diluents using di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) as an extractant for the separation of lanthanide ions from aqueous solutions of 50 mM glycolic acid or citric acid and 5 mM diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA). The extraction efficiencies were studied in comparison with diisopropylbenzene (DIPB), an organic solvent used as a diluent for the conventional TALSPEAK extraction system. Excellent extraction efficiencies and selectivities were found for a number of lanthanide ions using HDEHP as an extractant in these ILs. The effects of different alkyl chain lengths in the cations of ILs and of different anions on extraction efficiencies and selectivities of lanthanide ions are also presented in this paper.     

Ionic liquid/water mixtures: from hostility to conciliation

Water was originally inimical to ionic liquids (ILs) especially in the analysis of their detailed properties. Various data on the properties of ILs indicate that there are two ways to design functions of ionic liquids. The first is to change the structure of component ions, to provide "task-specific ILs". The second is to mix ILs with other components, such as other ILs, organic solvents or water. Mixing makes it easy to control the properties of the solution. In this strategy, water is now a very important partner. Below, we summarise our recent results on the properties of IL/water mixtures. Stable phase separation is an effective method in some separation processes. Conversely, a dynamic phase change between a homogeneous mixture and separation of phases is important in many fields. Analysis of the relation between phase behaviour and the hydration state of the component ions indicates that the pattern of phase separation is governed by the hydrophilicity of the ions. Sufficiently hydrophilic ions yielded ILs that are miscible with water, and hydrophobic ions gave stable phase separation with water. ILs composed of hydrophobic but hydrated ions undergo a dynamic phase change between a homogeneous mixture and separate phases according to temperature. ILs having more than seven water molecules per ion pair undergo this phase transition. These dynamic phase changes are considered, with some examples, and application is made to the separation of water-soluble proteins.

Solute-induced dissolution of hydrophobic ionic liquids in water

Significant solubilization of ostensibly water-immiscible ionic liquids (ILs) in acidic aqueous phases is induced by the presence of any of a variety of neutral extractants, the apparent result of the formation of the protonated form of the extractant and its subsequent exchange for the cationic component of the IL. The extent of this solubilization is shown to diminish with increasing hydrophobicity of the IL cation and decreasing extractant basicity. These observations raise concerns as to the viability of ILs as “drop in replacements” for traditional organic solvents in the solvent extraction of metal ions.     

A Novel Mechanism for the Extraction of Metals from Water to Ionic Liquids

We present a novel mechanism for the extraction of metals from aqueous phases to room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) by use of a high-temperature salt as an extraction agent. The mechanism capitalizes on the fact that charged metal complexes are soluble in ILs; this allows for extraction of charged complexes rather than the neutral species, which are formed by conventional approaches. The use of a well-chosen extraction agent also suppresses the competing ion-exchange mechanism, thus preventing degradation of the ionic liquid. The approach permits the use of excess extractant to drive the recovery of metals in high yield. This work presents both a thermodynamic framework for understanding the approach and experimental verification of the process in a range of different ILs. The method has great potential value in the recovery of metals, water purification and nuclear materials processing.
