Ionic-liquid-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) were synthesized using the co-ligands of 2-methylimidazole and amine-functionalized ionic liquid during the formation process of frameworks. The resulting ionic-liquid-modified ZIF had a specific surface area of 1707 m2·g−1 with an average pore size of about 1.53 nm. Benefiting from the large surface area and the high solubility of carbon dioxide in ionic-liquid moieties, the synthesized materials exhibited a carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of about 24.9 cm3·g−1, whereas it was 16.3 cm3·g−1 for pristine ZIF at 25 °C under 800 mmHg. The results demonstrate that the modification of porous materials with ionic liquids could be an effective way to fabricate solid sorbents for carbon dioxide adsorption.

Unsupported NiMo catalyst has high hydrogenation activity due to its high active site distribution. However, low specific surface area and pore distribution greatly limit the efficient utilization of the active components. The Y-zeolite nanoclusters were hydrothermally synthesized and introduced into the unsupported NiMo catalysts from a layered nickel molybdate complex oxide. The XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, Py-IR, SEM, NH3-TPD, and TEM were used to characterize all catalysts. The dibenzothiophene (DBT) hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reaction was performed in a continuous high pressure microreactor. The results showed that the specific surface area, pore volume, and average pore size of the unsupported NiMo catalysts were greatly increased by the Y-zeolite nanoclusters, and a more dispersed structure was produced. Furthermore, the Lewis acid and total acid content of the unsupported NiMo catalysts were greatly improved by the Y-zeolite nanoclusters. The HDS results showed that the unsupported NiMo catalysts modified by the nanoclusters had the same high desulfurization efficiency as the unmodified catalyst, but had more proportion of direct desulfurization (DDS) products. The results offer an alternative to reducing hydrogen consumption and save cost in the production of ultra clean diesel.

The design and synthesis of solid sorbents for effective carbon dioxide adsorption are essential for practical applications regarding carbon emissions. Herein, we report the synthesis of composite materials consisting of amine-functionalized imidazolium-type poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) through complexation of amino groups and metal ions. The carbon dioxide adsorption behavior of the synthesized composite materials was evaluated using the temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) technique. Benefiting from the large surface area of metal organic frameworks and high carbon dioxide diffusivity in ionic liquid moieties, the carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of the synthesized composite material reached 19.5 cm3·g−1, which is much higher than that of pristine metal organic frameworks (3.1 cm3·g−1) under carbon dioxide partial pressure of 0.2 bar at 25 °C. The results demonstrate that the combination of functionalized poly(ionic liquid) with metal organic frameworks can be a promising solid sorbent for carbon dioxide adsorption.

This work investigates the catalytic activity of geopolymers produced using two different alkali components (sodium or potassium) and four treatment temperatures (110 to 700 °C) for the methyl transesterification of soybean oil. The geopolymers were prepared with metakaolin as an aluminosilicate source and alkaline activating solutions containing either sodium or potassium in the same molar oxide proportions. The potassium-based formulation displayed a higher specific surface area and lower average pore size (28.64–62.54 m²/g; 9 nm) than the sodium formulation (6.34–32.62 m²/g; 17 nm). The reduction in specific surface area (SSA) after the heat treatment was more severe for the sodium formulation due to the higher thermal shrinkage. The catalytic activity of the geopolymer powders was compared under the same reactional conditions (70–75 °C, 150% methanol excess, 4 h reaction) and same weight amounts (3% to oil). The differences in performance were attributed to the influences of sodium and potassium on the geopolymerization process and to the accessibility of the reactants to the catalytic sites. The Na-based geopolymers performed better, with FAME contents in the biodiesel phase of 85.1% and 89.9% for samples treated at 500 and 300 °C, respectively. These results are competitive in comparison with most heterogeneous base catalysts reported in the literature, considering the very mild conditions of temperature, excess methanol and catalyst amount and the short time spent in reactions.

The foaming process and cellular morphologies of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN)/chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) blends with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a blowing agent were investigated in this study. As compared to pure SAN foam in the same batch, the foamed blends with various CPE elastomer content had smaller average pore size and larger cell density. This is probably related to the inhibition of bubble growth by elastomer, resulting in poor melt flowability and strong viscoelasticity, and the efficient bubble heterogeneous nucleation caused by numerous phase interfaces inside the incompletely compatible blend system. In addition, many tiny interconnected holes through the pore walls were formed to connect adjacent micropores in foamed blend samples. The formation mechanism of such interconnected pores is probably due to the fracture of stretched melt around the bubble from phase interfaces with weak interactions. These facts suggest an effective path to control pore size, cell density and even interconnected pores of blend foams depends on the compatibility of the blend system and difference in foamability of individual components in supercritical CO2.

Adducts of dimethylamine and carbon dioxide form a "distillable ionic liquid" (DIMCARB) that may used as both a reaction medium and catalyst in the direct, atom-economical synthesis of useful synthetic building blocks, such as mono-condensed α,β-unsaturated ketones. The utilization of such building blocks in the synthesis of two new classes of versatile macrocycles, by a sequence of condensation reactions (H2O by-product), is described. Investigation into the mechanism of action of DIMCARB catalysis and observation of an aniline impurity arising from a competing reaction sequence led to development of a new multicomponent reaction for the direct preparation of 2- or 4-substituted anilines. Some of the macrocycles and anilines are, respectively, supramolecular host compounds and ligands for the preparation of metal complexes.

A two-step swelling method was used for preparing porous poly(ionic liquid)s based on the copolymer of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and acrylonitrile P([AMIM]BF4-AN), the copolymer of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and acrylonitrile P([AMIM]PF6-AN), and poly(vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium) tetrafluoroborate P[VBTMA]BF4. The characteristics of the polymers were assessed via FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and CO2 adsorption. The results indicated that the seed-swelling method was more effective in improving the CO2 adsorption capacity of imidazolium-based P([AMIM]BF4-AN) containing the [BF4]− anion. Exchanging [BF4]− for [PF6]− in the imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid) led to almost the same CO2 adsorption as exhibited by the corresponding non-swelling copolymer. Moreover, the CO2 adsorption capacity of ammonium-based P[VBTMA]BF4 when treated by the seed-swelling method decreased considerably.

An ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide ([Bmim]OH) was grafted on silica gel by post-grafting method. Such grafted ionic liquids (GILs) which were verified by means of FTIR, element analysis N2adsorption-desorption and TG could be used as highly effective heterogeneous catalysts toward propylene carbonate synthesis through cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with propylene oxide under solventless and mild conditions.
