Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provide are an ionic liquid composition for a carbon dioxide separation membrane, a carbon dioxide separation membrane retaining the composition in voids, and a carbon dioxide concentration apparatus provided with the carbon dioxide separation membrane that can be used to separate carbon dioxide from high partial pressure to low partial pressure. The permeability of CO2 and CO2 selectivity ratio of the carbon dioxide separation membrane can be improved, and carbon dioxide from high partial pressure to a low partial pressure of 1 kPa or lower can be selectively separated and recycled by using an ionic liquid composition prepared by combining: an ionic liquid (I) that is an aminium having one or more primary or secondary amino groups and an ethylenediamine or propylenediamine backbone in the cation; and an ionic liquid (II) in which the cation has no primary or secondary amino group and the anion is an oxoacid anion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The method according to claim 1 , wherein the aminium is selected from the group consisting of 2-aminoethylaminium, 2-(N-hydroxyethylamino)ethylaminium,3-aminopropylaminium, 3-(N-methylamino)propylaminium, 2-(2-(aminoethyl)amino)ethylaminium, 2-(2-(2-(aminoethyl)aminoethyl)amino)ethylaminium and combinations thereof. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the oxoacid anion is selected from the group consisting of acetate, 2-(1-methoxyethoxy)propionate, methylphosphonate and combinations thereof. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cation of the ionic liquid (II) is selected from the group consisting of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-heptylammonium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(6-hydroxyhexyl)ammonium and combinations thereof. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon dioxide have a partial pressure of 1 kPa or lower. 6. A carbon dioxide separation membrane, comprising: a porous layer retaining an ionic liquid composition in voids in the porous layer wherein the ionic liquid composition containing an ionic liquid (I); and an ionic liquid (II), wherein a cation in the ionic liquid (I) is an aminium having one or more primary or secondary amino groups; and an ethylenediamine or propylenediamine backbone, wherein an anion in the ionic liquid (I) is bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, and a cation in the ionic liquid (II) has no primary or secondary amino group, and an anion in the ionic liquid (II) is an oxoacid anion, wherein the oxoacid anion is selected from the group consisting of carboxylates, phosphates, phosphonates and combinations thereof. 7. The carbon dioxide separation membrane according to claim 6 , wherein the aminium is selected from the group consisting of 2-aminoethylaminium, 2-(N-hydroxyethylamino)ethylaminium, 3-aminopropylaminium, 3-(N-methylamino)propylaminium, 2-(2-(aminoethyl)amino)ethylaminium, 2-(2-(2-(aminoethyl)aminoethyl)amino)ethylaminium and combinations thereof. 8. The carbon dioxide separation membrane according to claim 6 , wherein the oxoacid anion is selected from the group consisting of acetate, 2-(1-methoxyethoxy)propionate, methylphosphonate and combinations thereof. 9. The carbon dioxide separation membrane according to claim 6 , wherein the cation of the ionic liquid (II) is selected from the group consisting of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-heptylammonium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(6-hydroxyhexyl)ammonium and combinations thereof. 10. The carbon dioxide separation membrane according to claim 6 , wherein the carbon dioxide separation membrane comprises: an ionic liquid affinitive porous layer retaining the ionic liquid composition for a carbon dioxide separation membrane in voids; and an ionic liquid non-affinitive porous layer. 11. The carbon dioxide separation membrane according to claim 10 , wherein the ionic liquid affinitive porous layer comprises an inorganic material. 12. The carbon dioxide separation membrane according to claim 11 , wherein the inorganic material comprises metal oxide particles with an average particle size from 0.001 to m on a number basis. 13.
