ABSTRACT: Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as promising solvents for

11

hydrocarbon separations, but designing an industrially attractive IL combining high

12

solubility and low viscosity remains challenging. Here we synthesized three new

13

long-chain carboxylate ILs with asymmetric phosphonium cations that had relatively

14

low viscosity and good thermal stability, and exhibited very high solubility and

15

excellent selectivity for hydrocarbons with different carbon number at ambient

16

condition. The solubilities of propane, ethane, methane, and nitrogen in these

17

18

temperature of 298.1 to 313.1 K and pressure of 20 to 150 kPa. The effects of

19

molecular structure on the properties of ILs and their absorption performance were

20

investigated. It was found that the introduction of asymmetric cation with short alkyl

21

chains significantly reduced the viscosity of carboxylate ILs, while an extension on

22

the alkyl chain of carboxylate anions enhanced the solubility. At 298.1 K and 150 kPa,

23

the solubilities of propane, ethane, and methane in tributylethylphosphonium stearate

24

reach 0.408, 0.133 and 0.009 mmol/g with selectivities of propane/methane and

25

methane/nitrogen up to 16.92 and 2.72, respectively. This study demonstrates the

26

great potential of long-chain carboxylate ILs as novel solvents for separating light

27

hydrocarbons.

INTRODUCTION

30

Separation of light hydrocarbons is a critical process in petrochemical industry for

31

the production of high-purity chemicals and clean energy.1-3 Especially, the rapid

32

development of shale gas in recent years has greatly spurred research on hydrocarbons

33

separation.4,5 Shale gas is a new kind of natural gas that consists primarily of methane

34

(CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), other alkanes and nitrogen (N2).4 Effective

35

utilization of these hydrocarbon resources requires energy-saving separation

36

technologies for hydrocarbons with different carbon number. In addition, removing

37

nitrogen from natural gas is a key step for liquefied natural gas (LNG).6,7 Solvent

38

absorption is one of the most economical methods for hydrocarbon separation in

39

industry. However, traditional absorption processes with organic solvents as

40

adsorbents are facing the drawbacks of difficulty of efficiently regenerating

41

absorbents, and absorbents loss due to the volatility of organic solvents.8 Therefore, it

42

is necessary to design novel absorbents for the separation of light hydrocarbons with 2

different carbon number.

44

Ionic liquids (ILs) are novel solvents with unique physical properties. They have

45

negligible vapor pressure near ambient temperature, are nonflammable, and have

46

tunable structures and properties for the vast number of possible combination of

47

cations and anions.9-14 More importantly, ILs generally possess multiple solvation

48

interactions,15 enhanced H-bond basicity,16 and H-bonding interaction.17,18 Owing to

49

these attributes, ILs have been widely studied in the fields of extraction,19,20

50

catalysis,11 biomass processing and conversion,21,22 energy storage.23 and so on. ILs

51

have also been investigated as novel absorbents for various gas separation

52

applications, such as CO2 capture,24-27 SO2 removal,28 paraffin/olefin separation,29-33

53

and acetylene/ethylene separation,8,34,35 while researches on the separation of light

54

hydrocarbons with different carbon number are limited.36-41 Common low-viscosity

55

ILs with fluorinated anions exhibited good selectivity to different saturated

56

hydrocarbons however the gas solubilities in these ILs are moderated.40,42-45 For

57

example, the Henry’s law constants (KH) of CH4, C2H6, and C3H8 in

58

1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide ([Emim][NTf2]) are

59

546, 169, and 85 bar at 313.1 K, respectively.39 Very recently, Prausnitz and

60

co-workers39,46-48

61

bis(2,4,4-trimethyl-pentyl) phosphinate [P(14)666][TMPP] demonstrated record high

62

solubility for light hydrocarbons with KH value of C2H6 and C3H8 being 16 and 5.1

63

bar at 303.1 K, respectively. However, the high viscosity of TMPP-based ILs

64

([P(14)666][TMPP]: 1004 mPa·s at 298 K) limited their application.48 In order to

hydrocarbons,

([Bhmim][AC]) was used as diluents.48 This strategy gives a significant drop on the

68

viscosities of these IL mixtures and maintains high solubilities for light hydrocarbons

69

simultaneously; however, these IL mixtures bear the drawback of low thermal

stability and relative high volatility due to the nature of protic ILs (Figure S3).14,49

It was the first time for us to report the selective separation of CH4, C2H6, C3H8,

72

and N2 using long-chain carboxylate ILs (LCC-ILs, molecular structures see Scheme

73

74

molecular structures, possess low viscosity and excellent thermal stability, and exhibit

75

very high solubility and excellent selectivity for light hydrocarbons at ambient

76

condition. The solubilities of CH4, C2H6, C3H8, and N2 in LCC-ILs were determined at

77

temperature of 298.1 to 313.1 K and pressure from 20 to 150 kPa, and their

78

thermodynamics and separation performance were discussed. The physic properties of

79

prepared LCC-ILs have also been investigated.

95

the similar method reported in the literature,50 through neutralizing [P4442][OH] with

96

equimolar n-hexanoic acid, lauric acid or octadecanoic acid, respectively, at room

97

temperature for about 12 h. After the neutral reaction, water was distilled off at 328.1

98

K under reduced pressure. The ILs obtained were further dried under a high vacuum

99

at 328.1 K for at least 24 h in a freeze drier. The [P4442][OH] aqueous solution was

100

obtained by eluting the [P4442][Br] aqueous solution through anion-exchange resin.

101

The water contents of the ILs were determined by Karl-Fisher’s titration and their

102

values were all below 0.3%. The chemical structure and the purity of synthesized ILs

103

were confirmed by 1H NMR (supporting information). The acid values of synthesized

104

ILs were determined by acid-base titration with 0.01mol/L NaOH aqueous solution.

105

ILs with different acid/alkali contents were also synthesized to evaluate the effect of

106

residual acid/alkali on absorption by controlling the amount of fatty acids and

equilibrium cell, an isothermal oven, and a gas reservoir is shown in Figure. S1. The

122

pressures were measured by a pressure transducer (Druck RPT 350, 3.5-350 kPa)

123

whose accuracy is ± 0.01% for full scale, and the temperatures were determined by

124

K-type thermocouples with an accuracy of ± 0.15 K. The volumes of the equilibration

125

cell and the gas reservoir were determined with an accuracy of ± 0.01 mL.

The solubilities of methane, ethane, propane, and nitrogen in LCC-ILs

128

([P4442][C5H11COO], [P4442][C11H23COO] and [P4442][C17H35COO]) were determined

129

by the isochoric saturation technique.8,51,52 Typical procedures for solubility

130

measurement are as follows.8 The determined gas was fed from the supply cylinder to

131

the gas reservoir, the valve V4 was closed afterwards (Figure. S2). A known volume

132

of 7.0 mL IL was put into the equilibrium cell and degassed for at least 12 h ( 339.1 K)

328

and a very wide liquid range. It was found that the design of asymmetric cation with

329

short alkyl chains significantly reduced the viscosity of LCC-ILs. The solubilities of

330

C3H8, C2H6, CH4, and N2 in these LCC-ILs were determined at temperature of 298.1

331

to 313.1 K and at pressure of 20 to 150 kPa. The LCC-ILs exhibited very high

332

solubility and excellent selectivity for hydrocarbons with different carbon number at

333

ambient condition, and results indicated that the extension of alkyl chain of

334

carboxylate anions was an efficient strategy to enhance the solubility. At 298.1 K and

335

150 kPa, the solubilities of C3H8, C2H6, and CH4 in [P4442][C17H35COO] reach 0.408,

336

0.133 and 0.009 mmol/g with selectivities of C3H8/CH4 and CH4/N2 up to 16.92 and

337

2.72, respectively, significantly better than common ILs. Therefore, this study not

338

only demonstrates the great potential of LCC-ILs as novel solvents for hydrocarbon

339

separations, but also facilitates a molecular design to the development of novel ILs for

340

other gas separations.
