Fractionation of Wood with Binary Solvent 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Acetate + Dimethyl Sulfoxide

It is suggested to use a binary solvent, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate + dimethyl sulfoxide, for full dissolution of wood, followed by its separation into the polysaccharide and lignin components. The optimal conditions of the wood treatment process were determined (temperature 120°C, processing duration 6 h). A scheme is suggested for double-stage fractionation of the lignin?cellulose biomass. The scheme is based on the successive precipitation of the dissolved components with acetone and water. The isolated polysaccharide and lignin fractions constituting, combined, 70% of the initial mass of wood were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, exclusion chromatography, electron microscopy, and functional analysis. It was found that the polysaccharide fraction has the form of amorphous cellulose (2% degree of crystallinity) containing about 15% lignin. The isolated lignin contains no significant admixtures of polysaccharides, has a mass-average molecular mass of about 5 kDa, and is close to organosolvent lignins. It was found that the lignin fraction contains up to 35% residual ionic fluid. A suggestion is made about the possibility of chemical binding between lignin and butyl-3-methylimidazolium cations.

Pressure-Induced Solidification of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate

We have used Raman spectroscopy to investigate the high-pressure phase behavior of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF₄]), a representative ionic liquid, at pressures up to ~7.5 GPa. We have also studied how increasing pressure leads to conformational changes in the [bmim]⁺ cation. We have found that liquid [bmim][BF₄] undergoes pressure-induced solidification (freezing) into a superpressed (metastable) state at 2.5 GPa; another structural change probably occurs at ~6 GPa. Remarkably, conformational changes in the [bmim]⁺ cation between trans and gauche conformers are concordant with the metastable structural changes of [bmim][BF₄]. As the pressure is increased from ambient, the fraction of gauche conformers increases, but the gauche fraction decreases above the solidification pressure (2.5 GPa), and slope of the gauche/trans ratio changes again above 6 GPa. We interpret these results in terms of the fragility of the ionic liquid.

Formation of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Bis(2-ethyl-1-hexyl)sulfosuccinate Stabilized Water-in-1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide Microemulsion and the Effects of Additives

A new strategy is proposed here to formulate a bis(2-ethyl-1-hexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT^?) stabilized water-in-ionic liquid microemulsion without any additives. Replacing the inorganic counter ion Na⁺ by the organic 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Bmim]⁺) ion greatly improves the solubility of AOT^? in hydrophobic 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Bmim]Tf₂N) (IL) and favors the formation of water-in-IL (W/IL) microdroplets. The existence of the W/IL microdroplets has been confirmed by dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy. Also, presented for the first time are the effects of salts and alcohols on the microstructure and water solubilization capacity of the ternary H₂O/[Bmim]AOT/[Bmim]Tf₂N system. For inorganic salts, larger concentrations of the salt and higher charge density of the cation result in smaller microdroplet size and weak water solubilization capacity. For 1-hexanol, a high concentration of this alcohol results in small microdroplet size but high water solubilization capacity. Analyses indicate that the salts compress the electric double layers of W/IL microemulsions, decrease the size of the microdroplets and consequently reduce the water solubilization capacity; the alcohol, however, facilitates the aggregation of AOT^?, increases the number of W/IL microdroplets, and therefore improves the water solubilization capacity of the system.     

1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐+水+醇体系的相行为

Diffusion dynamics of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride from cellulose filament during coagulation process

The diffusion dynamics of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) during coagulation process of cellulose filaments with H₂O as non-solvent were investigated in detail. The diffusion coefficients of [BMIM]Cl was calculated based on the Fick’s second law of diffusion according to the experimental data. Several factors which affect the coagulation process including polymer concentration, concentration and temperature of coagulation bath were discussed respectively. It is found that the diffusion rate of [BMIM]Cl decreased with the increasing polymer content in the spinning solutions and the initial concentration of [BMIM]Cl in the coagulation bath, while the diffusion coefficients increased largely with the coagulation temperature becoming higher. The diffusion coefficients of [BMIM]Cl is relatively lower, in contrast with the conventional solvent in the solution spinning process, which is coordinate with the result of polyacrylonitrile [BMIM]Cl system by Zhang et al. (Polym Eng Sci 48(1):184–190, 2008). Compared with the diffusion process of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) from cellulose filament, the diffusion coefficients of [BMIM]Cl is lower, which suggested a stronger coagulation and washing conditions should be taken to produce regenerated cellulose fiber with [BMIM]Cl as solvent.     

Thermophysical and Spectroscopic Studies of Pure 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate and Its Aqueous Mixtures

Intermolecular interactions in the aqueous mixtures of the room temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF₄]), have been studied. The thermophysical properties: density ρ, speed of sound u, specific conductivity κ and refractive index n _D have been measured over the whole composition range at different temperatures (293.15–323.15 K) and are discussed. The results from thermophysical measurements are explained with the help of spectroscopy. In order to interpret the nature of molecular interactions occurring between [BMIM][BF₄] and water molecules, as well as to identify the moieties in which interactions are taking place, ¹H, ¹³C NMR and FT-IR spectra of the solutions have been studied. Excess molar volume V ^E, excess molar isentropic compressibility $ K_{S}^{\text{E}} $ , partial molar excess volume $ V_{i}^{\text{E}} $ , partial molar excess isentropic compressibility $ K_{S,i}^{\text{E}} $ , deviation in specific conductivity ?κ, and deviation in refractive index ?R have also been determined and analyzed to have a better understanding of the interactions taking place between the different components. Additionally, the excess ultrasonic speed u ^E and excess isentropic compressibility $ k_{S}^{\text{E}} $ , in terms of volume fractions, have been calculated and analyzed. It has been observed that temperature has a significant effect on the thermophysical properties of the studied system. Spectroscopic measurements confirm the disruption of ion-pair interactions of [BMIM][BF₄] and hydrogen-bonded network of water in the aqueous mixture of [BMIM][BF₄].

Study on the Morphology Feature of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate Based Ionic Liquid Reverse Microemulsions

The micromorphology of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF₄)-in-cyclohexane and bmimBF₄-in-triethylamine ionic liquid microemulsions was investigated by two-dimensional NMR and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy. The reverse micelles of Triton X-100/cyclohexane were destroyed by adding bmimBF₄ and reverse microemulsions were induced to form by successively adding bmimBF₄. However, no micelles appeared in triethylamine. But if adding bmimBF₄ to a certain extent, a reverse microemulsion was also formed. The driving force of such aggregations could be attributed to the presence of different types of interactions between Triton X-100 and bmimBF₄. A staggered arrangement of surfactant led to the irregular droplet structure and large aggregate size.     

由四氟硼酸1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑鎓/十二烷基苯磺酸钠/水形成的双水相体系的热力学研究

在298.15 K下使用目测法和浊度法绘制了四氟硼酸1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑鎓([Bmim]BF4)/十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)/水组成的三元体系相图,得到了一个靠近离子液体和水一侧的狭窄双水相(ATPS)区域。从双水相区域周围选择不同组成的样品,用等温滴定微量热(ITC)方法测定了这些样品中逐滴加入纯水后体系热量的变化,发现随样品中水含量的增加,量热曲线上分别出现了较弱的吸热和放热过程,而且这两个过程的位置与三元相图中双水相的形成和消失的位置基本吻合,这说明ITC对于双水相体系的热力学研究是一种可行有效的方法。实验结果表明,双水相的形成是一个吸热过程(ΔH0),而消失是放热过程(ΔH0)。由于双水相的形成是等温等压下的热力学自发过程(ΔG0),因此可以判断该体系中双水相的形成是一个熵驱动过程,而消失是一个熵-焓共驱过程。     

Structural organization in aqueous solutions of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium halides: a high-pressure infrared spectroscopic study on ionic liquids

High-pressure infrared spectroscopy was applied to study the hydrogen-bonding structures of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium halides/D2O mixtures. No drastic changes were observed in the concentration dependence of the alkyl C-H band frequency at high concentration of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. Nevertheless, the alkyl C-H exhibits an increase in frequency upon dilution at low concentration. These observations may indicate a clustering of the alkyl groups at high concentration and the formation of a certain water structure around alkyl C-H groups in the water-rich region. The imidazolium C-H band at ca. 3051 cm(-1) displays a monotonic blue-shift in frequency as the sample was diluted at high concentration of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. That is, water can be added to change the structural organization of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride in the ionic liquid-rich composition region by introducing water-imidazolium C-H interactions. Analyzing the pressure dependence of the imidazolium C-H stretches yielded anomalous nonmonotonic pressure-induced frequency shifts. This result may reflect the strengthening of C-H-O interactions between imidazolium C-H groups and the water clusters. Density functional theory calculations also revealed that the characteristic bonded C2-H vibration may be shifted via the modification of C2-H-Cl- associations.
