“…At present, chemical absorption is an effective way to separate CO 2 from industrial gases, − such as oil recovery gases, nature gases, syngas, and so on. The typical solvent is an amine, including 2-aminoethanol (MEA), 2-[2-hydroxyethyl(methyl)amino] ethanol (MDEA), 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethanol (DEA), and 2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino] ethanol (TEA), or mixtures of amines as the common absorbents to capture CO 2 . − However, in light of their corrosion, volatility, toxicity, and high energy consumption, in recent years, some ionic liquids (ILs), such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF 4 ]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF 6 ]), tetrabutylphosphonium amino acid ILs ([P(C 4 ) 4 ][AA]), and hydroxyl ammonium ILs are designed and synthesized as absorbents to absorb and separate CO 2 from the mixture gases. ,− ILs manifest the excellent properties of recycling, being contamination-free, functionality, and high efficiency of scrubbing CO 2 ; thus, the IL-based capture process appears probably to be the promising choice of alternative or competitive technologies.…”
