Abstract:

Ammonia (NH3) is a harmful gas, and there are so many defects for traditional NH3 absorption technologies. It is urgent to find ammonia absorbent with superior performance to develop new NH3 separation technology. Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents are potential absorbents in gas separation process. They have attracted more and more attentions due to their low volatility, good thermal stability and flexible controllability. However, there are so large amount of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents that it is difficult to screen the one with superior performance. The thermodynamic analysis is used to analyze NH3 separation process using ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents as NH3 absorbents. On the basis of the Gibbs free energy change, the optimal operational conditions of the NH3 separation process were fitted. The energy use and the amount of absorbents considered as the criteria and [Omim][BF4] was screened with good performance. The performance of [Omim][BF4] is compared with that of water, which is a traditional NH3 absorbents, and it can be concluded that [Omim][BF4] shows lower energy use. Finally, the law between the screening criteria and the critical properties of ionic liquids/deep eutectic solvents is fitted, which can be used as the basis to develop new NH3 absorbents and new NH3 separation technology.

Key words: NH3 separation, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, thermodynamic analysis

摘要:

氨气(NH3)作为一种有害气体,其传统吸收技术存在诸多缺陷,亟需开发性能优越的NH3吸收剂,以开发新型NH3分离技术。离子液体和低共熔溶剂作为气体分离过程的潜在吸收剂,因低挥发性、良好的热稳定性以及灵活的可调控性等特点受到越来越多的关注。但离子液体和低共熔溶剂数量众多,筛选困难。采用热力学分析方法分析离子液体和低共熔溶剂用于NH3分离过程,基于Gibbs自由能变,拟合出分离过程的最佳操作条件,将总能耗和离子液体用量作为筛选标准,筛选出性能良好的[Omim][BF4]。将[Omim][BF4]与传统NH3吸收剂水对比,发现[Omim][BF4]具有更低的能耗。最后,拟合出筛选标准与离子液体/低共熔溶剂的临界性质间的规律,为开发新的NH3吸收剂和新的分离技术提供依据。
