Abstract

CO2 capture and storage could efficiently mitigate CO2 emissions, wherein CO2 capture is a crucial energy-intensive process. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as potential liquid absorbents for CO2 separation. The CO2 absorption capacity and selectivity of ILs have also been investigated extensively. Although ILs have been screened for CO2 separation, only specific ILs have been examined in terms of energy consumption. In this study, 76 conventional ILs were collected and screened in terms of energy consumption to establish potential ILs for CO2 separation. Seventeen ILs were screened according to the CO2 dissolution enthalpy and CO2 working capacity criteria obtained from the Henry’s law constant in the preliminary screening. Seven ILs were then screened from the 17 ILs according to the CO2 working capacity from the measured CO2 solubility in the final screening. The energy consumptions of the seven screened ILs (i.e., [Emim][NTf2], [Bmim][BF4], [Bmim][PF6], [Bmim][NTf2], [Hmim][NTf2], [Bmpy][NTf2], and [Hmpy][NTf2]) were calculated, and the corresponding gas solubility selectivities were discussed. The energy consumptions and properties of the seven screened ILs were compared with those of the commercial CO2 absorbents of 30wt% MEA, 30wt% MDEA, and dimethyl ethers of polyethylene glycol (Selexol™ or Coastal AGR®). The results showed that the energy consumptions of the seven screened ILs were lower than those of the commercial CO2 absorbents. [Hmpy][NTf2] showed the lowest energy consumption among the seven screened ILs under the operating conditions set in this study.
