【摘要】 由于大气中二氧化碳(CO2)气体含量的增加而引起的“全球气候变暖”问题,已经引起了全世界的关注。众多的研究发现离子液体不但是捕捉CO2的良好的吸收剂,而且还是固定及转化CO2的优良的溶剂或催化剂。但是现已合成出大量的离子液体,如果通过实验去逐一的测定CO2在每种离子液体中的溶解度的方法来寻找适合吸收CO2的离子液体,将会需要大量的研究周期。本文针对以上问题,对使用功能化离子液体吸收CO2进行了研究。主要内容如下:1.首先采用一种基于量子化学计算的筛选方法——COSMO-RS方法,预测在298.2 K时CO2在408种离子液体中的亨利常数。筛选结果表明阴离子为三(五氟乙基)三氟磷酸([FEP])的离子液体能够吸收更多的CO2。然后针对COSMO-RS方法筛选出的离子液体,利用IGA-003型重量分析仪测定了在283.2 K、298.2 K和323.2 K压力最高达1.8 MPa下的CO2在1-己基-3-甲基咪唑([hmim])[FEP]、1-丁基-1-甲基吡咯([bmpyrr])[FEP]和S-乙基-N,N,N’,N’-四甲基异硫脲([ETT])[FEP]中的溶解度。实验结果表明[hmim][FEP]分别要比[hmim][Tf2N]和[hmim][PF6]多吸收15%和70%(摩尔分数)的CO2。这种先通过预测方法筛选出高效吸收CO2的离子液体,然后再通过实验测定CO2溶解度的方法,相比于直接通过实验方法去从大量的离子液体中筛选出较高CO2的溶解度的离子液体,具有成本低、周期短的优点。2.COSMO-RS是一种有效的预测CO2在离子液体中溶解度的方法,但是它不能研究具体的溶解机理。为了探索[hmim][FEP]比[hmim][PF6]能够溶解更多CO2的机理,对[hmim][FEP]-CO2和[hmim][PF6]-CO2的混合物进行了分子模拟研究。首先,开发了[FEP]阴离子的联合原子力场,由力场模拟得到的[hmim][FEP]的密度值与实验所测得的密度值吻合较好,证明了所开发的力场的准确性。用所构建的力场,通过连续分数组成蒙特卡罗(Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo-CFC MC)方法模拟了在298.2 K和323.2 K压力最高达到20 bar下CO2在[hmim][FEP]中的溶解度。结果表明模拟得到的CO2的溶解度的趋势与实验的吻合很好。因此,通过本文开发的[hmim][FEP]的力场和CFC MC方法,可以预测在较广温度和压力范围内的CO2在[hmim][FEP]中的溶解度。3.运用分子动力学模拟(MD)方法研究了CO2与[hmim][FEP]、[hmim][PF6]的混合物。通过分析点对点径向分布函数发现,虽然CO2在[PF6]阴离子周围有较强的分布,但是有更多的CO2存在于[FEP]阴离子的第一溶剂化层内,这主要是因为[FEP]阴离子尺寸较大且本身又是一个不对称的结构。采用MC和MD两种方法计算了[hmim][FEP]和[hmim][PF6]吸收CO2后的能量。结果表明,对于尺寸小且结构对称的[PF6]阴离子来说,主要是通过静电力吸收CO2;而相对于大尺寸且结构不对称的[FEP]阴离子,则主要是通过范德华力与CO2作用。因此,本文的工作为今后设计高效吸收CO2的离子液体提供了重要的信息。4.在离子液体应用的过程中,当有水等杂质存在时会对离子液体的性质有影响。本文通过MD方法研究了水(H2O)、甲醇(CH3OH)和甲醚(CH3OCH3)与[hmim][FEP]的作用机理。通过计算这三种混合物的超额摩尔体积、超额摩尔混合焓和扩散系数,分析点对点径向分布函数,以及相对应的配位数,结果表明H2O、CH3OH和CH3OCH3上的O原子与[hmim]阳离子上的H5之间存在氢键;这三种小分子主要分布在[FEP]阴离子周围;[hmim][FEP]与这三种小分子作用的强弱顺序是CH3OCH3>CH3OH>H2O。5.由于离子液体黏度较高,因此限制了其走向实际应用。本文初步进行了[hmim][FEP]固定化的研究。通过物理吸附固定化离子液体的方法将[hmim][FEP]和[bmim][BF4]固定在硅胶上。对[hmim][FEP]的红外光谱特征峰进行了指认。通过测定硅胶固定化[hmim][FEP]和[bmim][BF4]前后的BET比表面的变化,表明[hmim][FEP]要比[bmim][BF4]更容易被固定在硅胶上。通过分析硅胶固定化[hmim][FEP]前后的红外光谱图,进一步说明[hmim][FEP]已成功地固定在硅胶上。本文的工作为今后研究应用固定化的[hmim][FEP]吸收CO2和广泛应用[hmim][FEP]奠定了坚实的基础。

【Abstract】 The "global climate warming" problem caused by the increasing of carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere has been paid much attention all over the world.A lot of studies have found that ionic liquids(ILs) is not only a good absorbent for CO2 capture,but also a good solvent or catalyst for CO2 reacting with other compounds.However,a large number of ionic liquids have been synthesized at present,and apparently,it will cost too much research period to select a suitable ionic liquid for absorbing CO2 by using experimental methods to measure the solubility of CO2 in every kind of ionic liquid.To address above questions,using functional ionic liquids for absorbing CO2 was studied in this work.The main contents and findings are summarized as follows.1.First,a screening method-COSMO-RS method,based on quantum chemistry calculation,was implemented to predict the Henry’s law constants of CO2 in 408 ILs at 298.2 K.It was found that the ILs with the anion tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate([FEP]) can absorb more CO2 by the screening method.Then,aiming at the ionic liquids selected by COSMO-RS method,the solubilities of CO2 in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ([hmim])[FEP],1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium([bmpyrr])[FEP]and S-ethyl-N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylthiouronium([ETT])[FEP]at 283.2,298.2 and 323.2K,up to the pressure of 1.8 MPa were measured by the intelligent gravimetric analyzer-003(IGA-003,).The experimental data show that the solubility of CO2 in[hmim][FEP]is about 15%and 70%(mole fraction) higher than that in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide([hmim][Tf2N]) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate([hmim][PF6]), respectively.The screening method is implemented before doing experiment has the characteristics of lower cost and shorter period,when compared with the selected ionic liquid of high CO2 absorption capacity from a large number of ionic liquids by experiment directly.2.COSMO-RS is an efficient method for predicting the solubility of CO2 in ionic liquids,but it provides no detailed mechanistic explanation.In order to find mechanisms of[hmim][FEP]could dissolve more CO2 than [hmim][PF6],the mixtures of[hmim][FEP]-CO2 and[hmim][PF6]-CO2 were studied by molecular simulation.First,a united atom force field for the[FEP] anion was developed.The predicted density from our proposed force field is in good agreement with the experimental data for[hmim][FEP],which proves the accuracy of the proposed[hmim][FEP]force field.By the developed force field of[hmim][FEP],the Continuous Fractional Comoonent Monte Carlo (CFC MC) method was used to predict CO2 absorption isotherms in [hmim][FEP]at 298.2 and 323.2K and pressures up to 20.0 bar.The simulated isotherms capture the experimental trends quite well.Therefore,the solubilities of CO2 in[hmim][FEP]could be predicted in a wider range of temperature and pressure by the proposed[hmim][FEP]force field and CFC MC method in this work3.Molecular dynamics(MD) simulations were performed to study the mixtures of CO2 absorption in[hmim][FEP]and[hmim][PF6].The site-site radial distribution functions(RDFs) show that although CO2 is highly organized around the[PF6]anion,more CO2 can be found in the first coordination shell of[FEP]due to its bigger size and asymmetry structure. Both MC and MD methods were used to calculate the energy between [hmim][FEP]-CO2 and[hmim][PF6]-CO2.The results show that for[PF6] anion,which is small and symmetrical,mainly absorbs CO2 by electrostatic force.In contrast,for[FEP]anion,which is larger and asymmetrical,mainly absorbs CO2 by VDW interactions.Thus,this work provides important information for designing the ionic liquids which can highly absorb CO2.4.During the application of ILs,other matters,such as water,are usually present in them,which can influence the properties of ILs.The interaction mechanism of water(H2O),methanol(CH3OH) and dimethyl ether(CH3OCH3) in[hmim][FEP]were studied by molecular dynamic simulation in this work. By calculating the excess molar volume,excess molar enthalpy,diffusion coefficients,and analyzing the site-site RDFs and the corresponding coordination numbers of the three mixtures,it was found that there exist strong hydrogen bond between O atoms of H2O,CH3OH and CH3OCH3 and H5 of the cation;the three solutes mainly distribute around[FEP]anion;the sequence of[hmim][FEP]interact with the three solutes is CH3OCH3>CH3OH>H2O.5.Industrial application of ionic liquids has been limited due to its higher viscosity.Immobilization of[hmim][FEP]was studied in this work. [hmim][FEP]and[bmim][BF4]were immobilized on the porous silica gel by physical absorption.The Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectrum of [hmim][FEP]was assigned.By comparing the BET surface area of silica gel before and after immobilization of[hmim][FEP]and[bmim][BF4],it was found that[hmim][FEP]is more easier to be immobilized on silica gel than [bmim][BF4].By analyzing the FT-IR spectrums of silica gel before and after immobilization of[hmim][FEP],it was found that[hmim][FEP]has been successfully immobilized on the silica gel.This work has laid a solid foundation for using immobilized[hmim][FEP]to absorb CO2 and widely application of[hmim][FEP].
