The application of ionic liquids (ILs) for acidic gas absorption has long been an interesting and challenging issue. In this work, the ethyl sulfate ([C2OSO3]-) anion has been introduced into the structure of guanidinium-based ILs to form two novel low-cost ethyl sulfate ILs, namely 2-ethyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium ethyl sulfate ([C22(C1)2(C1)23gu][C2OSO3]) and 2,2-diethyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium ethyl sulfate ([(C2)22(C1)2(C1)23gu][C2OSO3]). The ethyl sulfate ILs, together with 2-ethyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C22(C1)2(C1)23gu][NTf2]) and 2,2-diethyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([(C2)22(C1)2(C1)23gu][NTf2]), are employed to evaluate the SO2 absorption and desorption performance. The recyclable ethyl sulfate ILs demonstrate high absorption capacities of SO2. At a low pressure of 0.1 bar and at 20 °C, 0.71 and 1.08 mol SO2 per mole of IL can be captured by [C22(C1)2(C1)23gu][C2OSO3] and [(C2)22(C1)2(C1)23gu][C2OSO3], respectively. The absorption enthalpy for SO2 absorption with [C22(C1)2(C1)23gu][C2OSO3] and [(C2)22(C1)2(C1)23gu][C2OSO3] are -3.98 and -3.43 kcal mol-1, respectively. While those by [C22(C1)2(C1)23gu][NTf2] and [(C2)22(C1)2(C1)23gu][NTf2] turn out to be only 0.17 and 0.24 mol SO2 per mole of IL under the same conditions. It can be concluded that the guanidinium ethyl sulfate ILs show good performance for SO2 capture. Quantum chemistry calculations reveal nonbonded weak interactions between the ILs and SO2. The anionic moieties of the ILs play an important role in SO2 capture on the basis of the consistently experimental and computational results.

The recovery of industrially valuable organic solvents from liquid waste, generated in chemical processes, is economically crucial to countries which need to import organic solvents. In view of this, the main objective of this study was to determine the ability of selected ionic liquids, namely, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulphate, [EMIM][ESO4] and 1-ethyl-3-methylpyridinium ethylsulphate, [EMpy][ESO4] to recover aromatic components from spent paint solvents. Preliminary studies done on the liquid waste, received from a paint manufacturing company, showed that the aromatic components were present in the range of (6-21)% by volume. The separation of the aromatic components was performed with the ionic liquids listed above. The phases, resulting from the separation of the mixtures, were analysed with a gas chromatograph (GC) coupled to a FID detector. Chromatograms illustrate that the chosen ZB-Wax-Plus column gave excellent separation of all components of interest from the mixtures, including the isomers of xylene. The concentrations of aromatics recovered from the spent solvents were found to be in the % ranges of (13 - 33) and (23-49), respectively for imidazolium and pyridinium based ionic liquids. These results also show that there is a significant correlation between π-character of ionic liquids and the level of extraction. It is therefore concluded that ionic liquids have the potential for macro-scale recovery of re-useable solvents present in liquid waste emanating from paint manufacture.

The performance of N-alkylpyridinium-based ionic liquids with a SCN anion (PyILs) was evaluated for the selective extraction of aromatics from aliphatic hydrocarbons. The aromatic extraction ability of PyILs was greatly enhanced by the presence of a methyl group on the pyridinium ring at the 3-or 4-position, whereas the solubility of the aromatics in the PyILs decreased with increasing the number of methyl groups on the benzene ring. The FT-IR studies revealed that the solubility of an aromatic compound in a PyIL is closely correlated with the degree of aromatic C-H bending frequency shift observed during the dissolution of the aromatic compound in the PyIL: the larger the shift, the higher the solubility. The computational calculations on the dispersion interactions between aromatics and PyILs demonstrated that the anion-aromatic interaction is much more important than the cation-aromatic interaction in determining the aromatic solubility in PyILs, and such anion-aromatic interaction can be enhanced by introducing a methyl group at the carbon atom of the pyridinium ring. ? 2013 American Chemical Society.
