Phenol-Based Ternary Deep Eutectic Solvents for Highly Efficient and Reversible Absorption of NH3
Abstract
In this work, a class of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formulated by choline chloride (ChCl), phenol (PhOH), and ethylene glycol (EG) were designed and synthesized for NH 3 capture. The effects of temperature, pressure, and DES composition on NH 3 capacities were investigated systematically. By utilizing the weak acidity of PhOH, highly efficient and reversible absorption of NH 3 was realized in PhOH-based ternary DESs. The absorption capacities of NH 3 in prepared DESs can reach as high as 9.619 mol/kg (0.162 g/g) at 298.2 K and 101.3 kPa, ranking one of the best reported to date. The captured NH 3 could be easily stripped out at elevated temperature and reduced pressure, with negligible loss in NH 3 capacities after 10 adsorption–desorption cycles. The thermodynamic properties of the NH 3 absorption process, such as reaction equilibrium constants, Henry’s constants, and absorption enthalpies, were also calculated with the assistance of thermodynamic modeling. It is found that the NH 3 absorption process exhibits a moderate enthalpy change of −36.91 kJ/mol, indicating the potentially energy-efficient feature of a subsequent desorption process. The results obtained herein suggest that PhOH-based ternary DESs are promising media for the capture of NH 3 from industrial gases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
