Construction of ZIF-8 and amino functionalized porous ionic liquids for efficient CO2 capture

The efficient capture of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) by porous ionic liquids (PILs) has become one of the important ways to deal with the greenhouse effect and enhance environmental protection. In order to enhance the CO 2 capture efficiency of PILs, 2 amino-functional ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized in deionized water: tetraethylenepentamine-2-methylimidazole ([TEPA][MIm]) and diethylenetriamine-2-methylimidazole ([DETA][MIm]). 2 zeolite imidazolidin-8 frames (ZIF-8-W and ZIF-8-M) were prepared in methanol and deionized water. The performance of the material was verified through FT-IR infrared spectroscopy, TGA-DTG curves, XRD spectra, adsorption desorption curves, and corrosive changes. Based on this, the porous ionic liquid ZIF-8-W/[TEPA][MIm] with the best performance and ZIF-8-W with the best environmental friendliness were successfully constructed. The chemical reaction mechanism of CO 2 in PILs were explored. The results showed that the thermogravimetric temperature of all materials was greater than 370 K, and the difference in adsorption capacity between ZIF-8-W and ZIF-8-M was only about 36.3 ml/g, the maximum mass change rates of the two ILs after immersion in ceramic and stainless steel tubes for 7 days were only 0.78 % and 0.29 %, respectively. On the premise of ensuring fluidity, the maximum capture capacity of ZIF-8-W/[TEPA][MIm] for pure CO 2 reached 2.22 mol/mol PILs, and the maximum capture capacity for CO 2 in artificial flue gas reached 2.03 mol/mol PILs, which was 21.9 % and 31.6 % higher than the maximum capture capacity of pure ionic liquids, respectively. When [TEPA][MIm] in PILs reacts with CO 2 , it conforms to the characteristics of “zwitterions”.
