Published: March 2010

In this communication, electrodeposition of Zn from 60-40 mol% ZnCl(2)-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIC) ionic liquid on Au substrates has been investigated. For the first time, initial stages of Zn electrocrystallization from BMIC has been studied by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) employing synchrotron radiation, which showed an initial epitaxial deposition of Zn and hexagonal Au(1.2)Zn(8.8) phases on Au(111) single crystal substrates. In the later stages of electrodeposition, phase analysis showed a formation of several Zn-Au intermetallics, namely AuZn, AuZn(3), and Au(1.2)Zn(8.8), along with the Zn phase.

Efficient removal of TcO from radioactive effluents while recovering drinking water remains a challenge. Herein, an excellent ReO (a nonradioactive surrogate of TcO ) scavenger is presented through covalently bonding imidazolium poly(ionic liquids) polymers with an ionic porous aromatic framework (iPAF), namely iPAF-P67, following an adsorption-site density-addition strategy. It shows rapid sorption kinetics, high uptake capacity, and exceptional selectivity toward ReO .

Isostructured lanthanide-Brønsted acidic ionic liquid coordination polymers, {[Ln(CHNO)(HO)]Cl} (LnIMDC(HO), Ln = Eu, Gd, or Tb, CHNO = [IMDC]) and {[EuTb(CHNO)(HO)]Cl} (EuTbIMDC(HO))), have been synthesized using 1,3-bis(carboxymethyl) imidazolium chloride ([HIMDC]Cl) as linkers. LnIMDC(HO) (Ln = Eu or Tb) and EuTbIMDC(HO) exhibit good temperature sensing performance over a wide temperature range with maximum sensitivities of 2.73%·K (392 K) and 2.

Exploring the synergistic effect of NaOH/NaClO absorbent in a novel wet FGD scrubber to control SOx/NOx emissions.

Environ Monit Assess

International Joint Research Center For Green Energy and Chemical Industry, School of Chemical Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, 200237, People's Republic of China.

Escalating SOx and NOx emissions from industrial plants necessitates customized scrubbing solutions to improve removal efficiency and tackle cost limitations in existing wet FGD units. This work investigates the real-time intensified removal pathways via an innovative two-stage countercurrent spray tower configuration strategically integrating NaOH (M) and NaOH/NaClO (M/M) to remove SOx and NOx emissions simultaneously from the industrial stack through a comprehensive parametric study of absorbents concentration, reaction temperature, gas flow rate, liquid to gas ratio (F/F), and absorbent showering head. Flue gas stream comprising SO bearing 4500 ppm, SO bearing 300 ppm, 70 ppm NO, and 50 ppm NO brought into contact with two scrubbing solutions as M, and a complex absorbent of M/M at varying respective ratios.

Key Laboratory of Colloid and Interface Chemistry of the Ministry of Education, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250100, China.

Coacervation based on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has been widely used for the preparation of artificial protocells and to mimic the dynamic organization of membrane-free organelles. Most complex synthetic coacervates are formed through electrostatic interactions but cannot withstand high ionic strength conditions (>0.1 M).

Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid Exhibiting Dual Hydrophilic and Oleophobic Properties without Polar End Groups.

Langmuir

January 2025

Department of Chemical & Petroleum Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15261, United States.

Simultaneously hydrophilic and oleophobic surfaces offer substantial advantages for applications such as antifogging, self-cleaning, and oil-water separation. It remains challenging to engineer such surfaces without requiring polar functional groups. This study introduces HFIL, a novel ionic liquid (IL) coating that achieves simultaneous hydrophilic and oleophobic properties via a one-step dip-coating process without relying on polar functional groups.
