摘要
A new type of RTIL (organic salts) materials for CO 2 separation applications based on physical gelation of a common RTIL, 1-hexyl-3- methylimidazolium bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [C 6mim][Tf 2N], with a small weight percent of the low-molecular weight gelator (LMOG), 12-hydroxystearic acid was investigated. [C 6mim][Tf 2N] was selected for the gas separation study because it is a commonly available and easily synthesized RTIL with inherent solubility selectivity for CO 2 over N 2. The solubility of gas in the gel and neat [C 6mim][Tf 2N] was determined for CO 2 and N 2 using a gas adsorption unit. This initial study successfully demonstrates that commercial LMOGs can be used to form stable RTIL gels that simultaneously exhibit liquidlike gas transport properties and the solid mechanical properties desired for membrane applications.
