离子液体对稠油的改质降黏作用影响因素研究

合成了烷基咪唑型离子液体[BMIM][AlCl₄],研究了稠油含硫量、含水量、过渡金属盐、温度等对离子液体进行稠油改质降黏作用的影响。实验结果表明,稠油含一定硫量是进行稠油改质降黏的必要条件。用[BMIM][AlCl₄]离子液体对稠油进行有效的改质降黏时,稠油含水量应小于10%。环烷酸镍(NiNaph）与离子液体复配使用对稠油改质降黏具有增效作用。用质量分数为5%的[BMIM][AlCl₄]离子液体在一定条件下处理新疆稠油,可使稠油降黏率达到60%,沥青质降低78%。用[BMIM][AlCl₄] 离子液体对新疆稠油进行改质降黏的最佳温度为65℃~85℃。     

Anomalous diffusion of water in [BMIM][TFSI] room-temperature ionic liquid

We have studied the self-diffusion properties of butyl-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide ([BMIM][TFSI]) + water system. The self-diffusion coefficients of cations, anions, and water molecules were determined by pulsed field gradient NMR. These measures were performed with increased water quantity up to saturation (from 0.3 to 30 mol %). Unexpected variations have been observed. The self-diffusion coefficient of every species increases with the quantity of water but not in the same order of magnitude. Whereas very similar evolutions are observed for the anion and cation, the increase is 25 times greater for water molecules. We interpret our data by the existence of phase separation at microscopic scale.

Self-assembled histidine acid phosphatase nanocapsules in ionic liquid [BMIM][BF4] as functional templates for hollow metal nanoparticles

We report the biomacromolecular self-assembly of histidine acid phosphatase (HAP), an enzyme of significant biomedical and industrial importance, in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF(4)]). The spontaneous self-assembly of HAP enzyme in [BMIM][BF(4)] results in the formation of HAP nanocapsules. The HAP enzyme molecules were found to retain their enzymatic activity after the self-assembly process, which enabled us to utilize self-assembled HAP capsules as self-catalyzing templates for the synthesis of a range of hollow metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag, Pd, and Ni) without employing any additional reducing agent. The hollow metal nanospheres with HAP encapsulated within their cavity were found to retain enzymatic activity for at least up to four cycles, as demonstrated in the case of Au-coated HAP capsules as the model system.     

Effect of sulfuric and phosphoric acid pretreatments on enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover

The pretreatment of corn stover with H₂SO₄ and H₃PO₄ was investigated. Pretreatments were carried out from 30 to 120 min in a batch reactor at 121°C, with acid concentrations ranging from 0 to 2% (w/v) at a solid concentration of 5% (w/v). Pretreated corn stover was washed with distilled water until the filtrate was adjusted to pH 7.0, followed by surfactant swelling of the cellulosic fraction in a 0–10% (w/v) solution of Tween-80 at room temperature for 12 h. The dilute acid treatment proved to be a very effective method in terms of hemicellulose recovery and cellulose digetibility. Hemicellulose recovery was 62–90%, and enzymatic digestibility of the cellulose that remained in the solid was >80% with 2% (w/v) acid. In all cases studied, the performance of H₂SO₄ pretreatment (hemicellulose recovery and cellulose digestibility) was significantly better than obtained with H₃PO₄. Enzymatic hydrolysis was more effective using surfactant than without it, producing 10–20% more sugar. Furthermore, digestibility was investigated as a function of hemicellulose removal. It was found that digestibility was more directly related to hemicellulose removal than to delignification.     

Removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol using ionic liquid [BMIM]+[PF6]- encapsulated PVDF membrane

2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is one of the toxic chlorophenol compounds found in aquatic environments. Chlorophenols are priority pollutants, due to their high toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. In this study, experiments were carried out for the removal of 2,4-Dichlorophenol (Cl₂C₆H₃OH) from aqueous solution using commercial grade PVDF membrane immobilised with 1-Butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMIM]⁺[PF6]^- ionic liquid. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) used to identify and to confirm the surface morphology, functional groups and operational stability of Ionic Liquid [BMIM]⁺[PF₆]^- encapsulated PVDF membrane. The effect of various factors such as feed phase pH, initial 2,4-DCP concentration, operation time and stirring speed along with different stripping agents such as NaOH, KOH and NH₄OH on the removal of chlorophenols has been investigated. The maximum permeation rate of 85.52% was achieved over an experimental run of 24 at pH 4 with a strip flux of 8.18323 × 10^?09 mol m^?2s^?1 in 0.1 M NaOH strip phase.     

Triflic acid-catalyzed adamantylation of aromatics in [BMIM][OTf] ionic liquid; synthetic scope and mechanistic insight

A mild and efficient process has been developed for the one-pot adamantylation of aromatic substrates employing 1-AdaOH, 1-AdaCl, 1-AdaBr, and 1-Br-3,5,7-trimethyladamantane as adamantylating agents, with triflic acid (TfOH) as promoter and n-butylmethylimidazolium triflate [BMIM][OTf] room temperature ionic liquid (IL) as solvent. The influence of reaction temperature, reaction time and the amount of TfOH was gauged in model reactions employing 1-AdaOH, 1-AdaCl and 1-AdaBr with toluene as the substrate. Under optimal conditions, the reactions exhibit high para selectivity with little or no adamantane side-product being formed. The synthetic scope of this transformation was tested for representative alkylbenzenes and haloalkylbenzenes. Comparative reactions carried out in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) produce increased amounts of the meta isomer and substantial amounts of adamantane. Substrate selectivities (K(T)/K(B)) were measured in competitive experiments in [BMIM][OTf] and in DCE as solvents. Isomerization tests were performed to shed light on the origin of the meta isomer. A DFT study was also conducted to compare relative stabilities of the isomeric products, to gauge the relative stabilities of the intermediate isomeric benzenium ions of adamantylation and their charge distribution modes, and to explore the intramolecular process for isomerization in the benzenium ion.     

Potential-dependent condensation of Water at the Interface between ionic liquid [BMIM][TFSA] and an Au electrode

Association of Ionic Liquids in Solution: Conductivity Studies of [BMIM][Cl] and [BMIM][PF6] in Binary Mixtures of Acetonitrile + Methanol

The concentration dependence of molar conductance for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate in binary mixtures of acetonitrile + methanol was investigated to explore the ion association behavior of imidazolium based ionic liquids. The limiting molar conductance $(\Uplambda_{m}^{0})$ ( Λ m 0 ) , association constants (K _a ⁰ ) and the maximal distance between the oppositely charged ions in ion pairs (R _ij ) in the mixed solvent mixtures were evaluated following the framework of Barthel’s low-concentration chemical model. The investigated ILs display opposing trends in ion association behavior with change in solvent composition of acetonitrile + methanol binary mixtures. The results are discussed in light of ionic liquid and solvent specific ion?solvent and ion?ion interactions in the mixed solvent systems.

Measurement and correlation of vapor pressure of benzene and thiophene with [BMIM][PF6] and [BMIM][BF4] ionic liquids

An apparatus used to measure vapor pressure of organic solvents was set up, and vapor pressure of mixture of ionic liquids ([BMIM][PF₆] and [BMIM][BF₄]) and aromatic compounds (benzene and thiophene), with mole fraction of organic solute from 0.1 to 0.75 was measured by using saturation vapor pressure method at temperature from 303 K to 343 K. Then NRTL equation was used to correlate the experimental data. The overall average relative deviation of activity coefficients for the whole system is 2.30%, which indicates that NTRL equation can be utilized to correlate vapor pressure of binary systems containing ionic liquids. The results show that ionic liquids can depress the volatility of aromatic compounds.
