The solubilities of sulfuryl fluoride (SO 2 F 2 ) in triethyl citrate (TEC), acetyl triethyl citrate (ATEC), tributyl citrate (TBC), and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) were measured using the isochoric saturation method under pressures of up to 600 kPa and at temperatures ranging from 293.15 to 323.15 K. The results show that the SO 2 F 2 absorption in these solvents is a physical process, and the solubility follows the order of ATBC > TBC > ATEC > TEC. Furthermore, Henry's law constants and thermodynamic properties such as standard Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes of SO 2 F 2 solvation were obtained. Henry's law constant based on mole fraction in citrate derivatives varies from 2.02 to 5.79 MPa at T = 293.15 to 323.15 K. All the dissolution enthalpies were negative under experimental conditions. Additionally, the performance of SO 2 F 2 in these citrate derivatives was further compared with that in other physical absorbents. It proved that these biobased citrate derivatives have potential use in the removal of SO 2 F 2 from fumigation exhaust gas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
