Superefficient Absorption of Low-Concentration SO2 in Flue Gas Using New Ternary Imidazole-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents: Mechanism, Thermodynamics, and Process Analysis
Abstract:New ternary deep eutectic solvents (DESs), including imidazole (Im), ethylene glycol (EG), and methyltriphenyl phosphonium bromide (MTPB), were synthesized at different molar ratios to absorb SO 2 in flue gas. Excitingly, the EG−Im−MTPB (1:2:1) DES has achieved the unexpected achievement of its absorption capacity being greatly improved to 0.65 g of SO 2 /g of DES (4.43 mol/mol) at 3000 ppm and 30 °C, which is the best performing DES for capturing SO 2 under the same conditions ever reported. The aftereffects … Show more
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.
