This research demonstrates the development of a novel low-cost protic ionic liquid (PIL) for carbon-dioxide (CO2) absorption from a post-combustion system at high temperature. The IL was synthesized by proton transfer from Bronsted acid to Bronsted base. The structures of the synthesized protic ionic liquids were elucidated using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C...

Abstract: Being an acidic gas, dissolved carbon dioxide can decrease the pH of the solution which could lead to severe corrosion. The plant integrity can be effected by material corrosion as the efficiency will decline and requires costly maintenance. During carbon-capture process, the acid-gas loading areas, such as absorption unit, liquid storage...

Abstract Being an acidic gas, dissolved carbon dioxide can decrease the pH of the solution which could lead to severe corrosion. Material corrosion can be a risk for plant integrity, can reduce plant efficiency, and requires costly maintenance. During carbon-capture process, the acid-gas loading areas, such as absorption unit, liquid storage, lean-...

Abstract A great threat is faced by environment and ecosystems due to a continuous increase in temperature on a global scale. Large emissions of carbon dioxide from various thermal power plants are the major concern, besides vehicular emissions. But, the compositions of flue gases from thermal-power plants consist of only 11-15 % v/v of carbon diox...

Many chemical processes require use of a solvent. Due to the adverse environmental effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), there is a need for replacement of traditional volatile solvents and hence a rising interest among researchers in the field of non-volatile solvents. A large number of chemical reactions are carried out in the presence of...
