Abstract: | Solvent properties of ionic liquids with trihexyltetradecylphosphonium cation and bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate anion
(Cyphos IL-104) or chloride anion (Cyphos IL-101) were studied. IL-104 effectively extracted lactic acid (LA) with distribution
coefficients above 40 at low acid concentrations. IL-104 extracted only undissociated acid (LAH) what supported the coordination
mechanism of lactic acid extraction via H-bonding. In the extraction of lactic acid by phosphonium chloride (IL-101) an ion-exchange mechanism contributed remarkably
to the extraction especially at basic pH where anionic form of this acid predominated. A high solubility of water in hydrophobic
IL-104 up to 14.4 mass % was connected with the formation of reverse micelles. A dual mechanism of water extraction to phosphonium
ionic liquids was identified, which consisted of water incorporation into reverse micelles and the inclusion of water into
the hydrated complex of lactic acid with ionic liquid (IL). The extraction of lactic acid caused splitting of reverse micelles
with liberation of water from the solvent. In the saturated solvent only hydration water remained in the complex of lactic
acid with phosphonium ionic liquid, with the suggested structure (LAH)p(IL)(H2O)2, where the value of p ranged from 1 to 3. |
