Dual functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids as a green solvent for extractive desulfurization of fuel oil: Toxicology and mechanistic studies

Readily biodegradable and �practically non-toxic� dual functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) carrying nitrile and varying number of ether group were developed to improve the extractive desulfurization performance and ecotoxicity of ILs. Dicyanamide (N(CN) 2 ), trifluoroacetate (CF 3 COO...

Magaret, S. Pranesh, M. Lethesh, K.C. Devi, W.C. Mutalib, M.I.A. Readily biodegradable and �practically non-toxic� dual functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) carrying nitrile and varying number of ether group were developed to improve the extractive desulfurization performance and ecotoxicity of ILs. Dicyanamide (N(CN) 2 ), trifluoroacetate (CF 3 COO) and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NTf 2 ) were selected as anions. Evaluation of thermophysical properties of the synthesized ILs revealed that bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion based ILs have lowest viscosity, which contributed to excellent mass transfer and enhanced desulfurization performance.

Dibenzothiophene was more selectively extracted over 4,6- dimethyldibenzothiophene. Increasing alkoxy group on the cation side chain improved the desulfurization efficiency. More than 70 of dibenzothiophene was extracted in 15 min (single stage extraction) with a mass ratio of 1.5:1 at 25 °C by bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion based ILs with three ether groups on the imidazolium cation. Conductor like Screening Model for Real Solvents tool (COSMO-RS) and FTIR spectroscopy study revealed that interaction between dibenzothiophene and ILs were mainly dominated by �-� interaction and hydrogen bonding. The microbial toxicity and biodegradability assessment indicated that ILs were �practically harmless� and �readily biodegradable� through the incorporation of alkoxy groups on the cationic core of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion based ILs.
