Abstract
Considering the controversial safety and risk solutions of ionic liquids (ILs), more essential basic researches are required as their applied fields become broader and applied scale grows larger. Under this background, the permeation behaviors of six common imidazole ILs on porcine gastric and enteric membranes together with the feasibility of their removal by adsorption with montmorillonite were investigated in vitro. Through the single-factor investigation of different cations, anions and ionic liquid concentrations, the current results show that the IL of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Emim]Br) has the strongest permeation capacity on the gastric membrane during the tests. The cumulative permeation amount of Qn can reach 0.72 mg/cm2, and the cumulative permeation percentage alsoreaches 95.77 %; the whole permeation process conforms to the Hixcon-Crowell model. As comparison, the maximum cumulative penetration percentage of [Emim]Br on enteric member was determined as 89.11 %, and related models was also compared. In order to remove the potential IL in digestive tract, montmorillonite was screened out from those popularily used antidotes in clinic and the adsorption of [Emim]Br in gastric fluid by montmorillonite has been proved more consistent with the second-order kinetics and Langmuir model. The results of molecular simulation, infrared spectrum (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric (TG) characterization exhibit that [Emim]Br has been successfully adsorbed into the interlayer of montmorillonite. As a whole, the study provided a scientific and effective way to diminish the hidden danger of ionic liquid entering the blood through the digestive system.
