Homogeneous Catalysis and Catalyst Recovery Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Ionic Liquids
نویسنده
چکیده
The combination of scCO2 with a non-volatile liquid such as ionic liquids, water, or poly(ethylene glycol) creates a biphasic mixture suitable for homogeneous catalysis with facile catalyst/product separation and catalyst recycling. Continuous-flow processes are also possible. Dissolution of the CO2 into the nonvolatile liquid during the reaction can have desirable or undesirable effects on the properties of the liquid phase and the reaction performance. Examples of the use of these biphasic systems are described, with an emphasis on systems involving ionic liquids.

The chemical industry is under considerable pressure to replace many of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are currently used as solvents in organic synthesis. The toxic and/or hazardous properties of many solvents, notably chlorinated hydrocarbons, combined with serious environmental issues, such as atmospheric emissions and contamination of aqueous effluents is making their use prohib...
متن کاملA Novel and Environmentally Benign Approach to Combine Reactions and Separations Using Ionic Liquids and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
A novel and environmentally benign approach is described to combine reactions and separations, using simultaneously ionic liquids (ILs) and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2). The novel approach is based on the phenomenon that two (partially) immiscible liquid phases upon pressurization with CO2 is able to force to form one homogeneous fluid phase. The homogeneous phase allows reactions to be...

A fully integrated continuous process for homogeneous catalysed reactions in scCO(2) has been developed exploiting the tunable solvent properties of scCO(2). A heated condenser situated above the reaction zone leads to a phase split under isobaric conditions resulting in efficient catalyst retention and recirculation. Continuous isomerisation of allylic alcohols was carried out for over 200 hou...

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was used as solvent to synthesize oleyl oleate as an analog of Jojoba oil from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol with high conversion (100%) of the acid into ester in a short time of 100 min. Utilizing a low cost solid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA), the esterification reaction was performed, without any prior preparation step...
