“…The effect of the anion on the capture of CO 2 and SO 2 is displayed in Table for two SBILs: trihexyltetradecylphosphonium benzimidazolide, [P 66614 ][Benzim], and trihexyltetradecylphosphonium tetrazolide, [P 66614 ][Tetz]. [P 66614 ][Benzim] has been used in a series of studies investigating the effect of flue gas contaminants on CO 2 uptake and was also shown to capture significantly more CO 2 per mole of IL in comparison to [P 66614 ][Tetz] (1.20 vs 0.08 n CO 2 / n IL) due to a higher absorption enthalpy (−52.1 vs −19.1 kJ·mol –1 ). ,,− Importantly, when SO 2 capture is considered, both ILs can absorb large amounts. However, [P 66614 ][Benzim] does so irreversibly, which has been shown to have a negative effect on its ability to simultaneously absorb CO 2 . , In contrast, a small residue following desorption (0.06 n SO 2 / n IL) was reported for [P 66614 ][Tetz] after exposure to 0.2 vol % SO 2 which may be due to a weaker binding affinity when compared to [P 66614 ][Benzim] (−89.4 vs −123.9 kJ·mol –1 ). − However, a study of the recyclability of [P 4442 ][Tetz] showed that the working absorption capacity remained constant …”
