JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING DATA 2024; 69:1814-1823. [PMID: 38745593 PMCID: PMC11090035 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jced.3c00687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are an emerging materials' class with applications in areas such as energy storage, catalysis, and biomass dissolution and processing. Their physicochemical properties including surface tension, viscosity, density and their interplay between cation and anion chemistry are decisive in these applications. For many commercially available ILs, a full set of physicochemical data is not available. Here, we extend the knowledge base by providing physicochemical properties such as density (20 and 25 °C), refractive index (20 and 25 °C), surface tension (23 °C, including polar and dispersive components), and shear viscosity (ambient atmosphere, shear rate 1-200 s-1), for 20 commercial ILs. A correlation between the crystal volume, dispersive surface tension, and shear viscosity is introduced as a predictive tool, allowing for viscosity estimation. Systematic exploration of cation/anion alkyl side chain lengths reveals the impact on the IL's physicochemical attributes. Increasing the anion's headgroup decreases surface tension up to 35.7% and consequently shear viscosity. We further demonstrate that the dispersive part of the surface tension linearly correlates with the refractive index of the ionic liquid. While we provide additional physicochemical data, the screening and modeling efforts will contribute to better structure property predictions enabling faster progress in design and applications of ILs.

Abstract
There will be common challenges to scaling-up any ionic liquids separations technologies which require very large volumes of ionic liquid. Some of these challenges are illustrated in this personal account which chronicles the extraction of chitin from shrimp shell from discovery to current commercialization efforts. The road being taken from discovery in an academic laboratory, through attempts to navigate the scaling-up to commercial scale using the vehicle of a faculty startup company is rewarding, but fraught with roadblocks, detours, and unexpected challenges. The differences in 'technically feasible' and 'commercially viable' are not always evident from the beginning of the journey, however, one wonders what achievements we miss as a Society because it was assumed to not be commercially viable.

Abstract
The potential of supercritical CO2 and ionic liquids (ILs) as alternatives to traditional extraction of natural compounds from plant material is of increasing importance. Both techniques offer several advantages over conventional extraction methods. These two alternatives have been separately employed on numerous ocassions, however, until now, they have never been combined for the extraction of secondary metabolites from natural sources, despite properties that complement each other perfectly. Herein, we present the first application of an IL-based dynamic supercritical CO2 extraction of six cannabinoids (CBD, CBDA, Δ9-THC, THCA, CBG and CBGA) from industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). Various process parameters were optimized, i.e., IL-based pre-treatment time and pre-treatment temperature, as well as pressure and temperature during supercritical fluid extraction. In addition, the impact of different ILs on cannabinoid extraction yield was evaluated, namely, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, choline acetate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate. This novel technique exhibits a synergistic effect that allows the solvent-free acquisition of cannabinoids from industrial hemp, avoiding further processing steps and the additional use of resources. The newly developed IL-based supercritical CO2 extraction results in high yields of the investigated cannabinoids, thus, demonstrating an effective and reliable alternative to established extraction methods. Ultimately, the ILs can be recycled to reduce costs and to improve the sustainability of the developed extraction process.

Abstract
This study investigated the dissolution of silk multifilament fibers in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. The dissolution process was found to create a silk composite fiber, comprising undissolved silk multifilaments surrounded by a coagulated silk matrix. The dissolution procedure was carried out for a range of temperatures and times. The resulting composite fibers were studied using a combination of optical microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), and tensile testing. An azimuthal (α) XRD scan enabled the orientation of the composite silk filaments to be quantified through a second Legendre polynomial function (P2). The P2 results could be shifted to construct a single master curve using time-temperature superposition (TTS). The shifting factors were found to have an Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy of 138 ± 13 kJ/mol. Using a simple rule of mixtures, the P2 measurements were used to calculate the dissolved silk matrix volume fraction (Vm), which also displayed TTS forming a single master curve with an activation energy of 139 ± 15 kJ/mol. The tensile Young's modulus of each silk composite filament was measured, and these results similarly formed a master curve with an activation energy of 116 ± 12 kJ/mol.

Abstract
This research investigates the potential development of lobster shell waste-derived chitin reinforced with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) into new materials with potentially superior mechanical and thermal properties for biomedical applications. The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim][OAc]) was used as a solvent to prepare chitin/PLA/nHAP composites. The effect of variation of the polymer concentrations on the conduct of the resulting composite was explored. The detailed physico-mechanical, thermal and surface morphology properties were evaluated with different thermal and optical characterization techniques. When the concentration of PLA in the composite was increased from 20 to 80 wt%, the tensile strength improved by ~77% while the elongation at break and the toughness of the material decreased significantly. The addition of hydroxyapatite was observed to improve strength of the composites up to 140% with an increase in elongation at break up to 465%. Cell growth study show that the composite materials support the growth and proliferation of Ocy 454 osteocyte cells. The materials were shown to have no effect on osteocyte gene expression, as well as minimal cytotoxicity and biodegradability. These results reveal that the biocomposites would be suitable candidates for use in bone regeneration that are not exposed to excessive forces.
