A Novel Ionic Liquid for Carbon Capture

Ionic Liquid Design for Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Capture – A Computer Aided Molecular Design Approach

Greenhouse gases emission is known as the main factor of climate change, and carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up vast majority of them. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a vital technology to mitigate industrial CO2 emissions, which is mainly generated in power plants. Currently, post-combustion capture based on aqueous amine scrubbing is considered as the most suitable technology for CO2 capture. ...

Ionic Liquid Mixture Design for Carbon Capture using Property Clustering Technique

Ionic liquids (ILs) have recently been introduced as green solvents and potential substitute to volatile organic compounds. This is due to their negligible vapour pressure, high thermal stability, and large liquid phase range. Moreover, their physical and chemical properties can be tuned accordingly by proper choice of cations and anions. Thus, researchers suggest replacing conventional amine b...

Novel Poly ( Ionic Liquid )

Encapsulated liquid sorbents for carbon dioxide capture.

Drawbacks of current carbon dioxide capture methods include corrosivity, evaporative losses and fouling. Separating the capture solvent from infrastructure and effluent gases via microencapsulation provides possible solutions to these issues. Here we report carbon capture materials that may enable low-cost and energy-efficient capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas. Polymer microcapsules compo...

Carbon dioxide capture by aminoalkyl imidazolium-based ionic liquid: a computational investigation.

Efficient technologies/processes for CO(2) capture are greatly desired, and ionic liquids are recognized as promising materials for this purpose. However, the mechanisms for selectively capturing CO(2) by ionic liquids are unclear. In this study, the interactions between CO(2) and 1-n-amino-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate, an amino imidazolium ionic liquid (AIIL), in its CO(2) capt...
