Abstract
This work reports on the astonishing high capacity of inverse supported ionic liquid absorbents, hereinafter denoted as “inverse SILPs” to remove acidic gases (SO2 and CO2) from flue gas streams. These nonconventional SILPs are easily prepared in the form of flowing powder via a phase inversion technique and consist of tiny ionic liquid (IL) droplets enclosed into an ultrathin, porous solid sleeve of pyrogenic silica nanoparticles. The CO2/N2 and SO2/CO2 separation performance and regeneration efficiency of inverse SILPs developed from six different ILs and two IL/chitosan ionogels was examined via gravimetric CO2, N2 absorption isotherms and via SO2, CO2, O2 breakthrough curves from gas mixtures in fixed beds. The involved ILs varied from chemisorbing ones, composed of alkyl- or alkanol-ammonium cations and amino acid anions, to physisorbing ones including ether functionalized anions and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations. It is noteworthy that the best performing inverse SILP consisted of a very common...
