Abstract

In this paper, the preparation of new supported ionic liquids (SILs) composed of the N-methylimidazolium cation and the quinoline cation is described. They have been confirmed and evaluated by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Six kinds of different SILs included SiO 2·Im +·Cl −, SiO 2·Im +·BF 4 −, SiO 2·Im +·PF 6 −, SiO 2·Qu +·Cl −, SiO 2·Qu +·BF 4 − and SiO 2·Qu +·PF 6 −. The adsorption characteristics of ferulic acid (FA), caffeic acid (CA) and salicylic acid (SA) on SILs were investigated by static adsorption experiments. It was found that SiO 2·Qu +·Cl − had excellent adsorption and desorption capacity to three tested phenolic compounds. The dynamic adsorption characteristics of FA, CA and SA on SiO 2·Qu +·Cl − were also studied. The saturated adsorption capacity of FA, CA and SA using SiO 2·Qu +·Cl − as adsorbent was 64.6 mg/g, 53.2 mg/g and 72.2 mg/g respectively. Using 70% ethanol as eluent, the saturated desorption efficiencies of FA, CA and SA were 97.2%, 90.3% and 96.5% respectively. Thus, SiO 2·Qu +·Cl − had strong adsorption and separation capacity for FA, CA and SA.
