Abstract
With increasingly stringent emission limits on sulfur and sulfur-containing substances, the reduction and removal of sulfur compounds from fuels has become an urgent task. Emissions of sulfur-containing compounds pose a significant threat to the environment and human health. Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted much attention in recent years as green solvents and functional materials, and their unique properties make them useful alternatives to conventional desulfurization organic solvents. This paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of traditional desulfurization technologies such as hydrodesulfurization, oxidative desulfurization, biological desulfurization, adsorptive desulfurization, extractive desulfurization, etc. It focuses on the synthesis of ionic liquids and their applications in oxidative desulfurization, extractive desulfurization, extractive oxidative desulfurization, and catalytic oxidative desulfurization, and it analyzes the problems of ionic liquids that need to be solved urgently in desulfurization, looking forward to the development of sulfuric compounds as a kind of new and emerging green solvent in the field of desulfurization.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising alternative compounds that enable the development of technologies based on their unique properties as solvents or catalysts. These technologies require integrated product and process designs to select ILs with optimal process performances at an industrial scale to promote cost-effective and sustainable technologies. The digital era and multiscale research methodologies have changed the paradigm from experiment-oriented to hybrid experimental-computational developments guided by process engineering. This Review summarizes the relevant contributions (>300 research papers) of process simulations to advance IL-based technology developments by guiding experimental research efforts and enhancing industrial transferability. Robust simulation methodologies, mostly based on predictive COSMO-SAC/RS and UNIFAC models in Aspen Plus software, were applied to analyze key IL applications: physical and chemical CO2 capture, CO2 conversion, gas separation, liquid-liquid extraction, extractive distillation, refrigeration cycles, and biorefinery. The contributions concern the IL selection criteria, operational unit design, equipment sizing, technoeconomic and environmental analyses, and process optimization to promote the competitiveness of the proposed IL-based technologies. Process simulation revealed that multiscale research strategies enable advancement in the technological development of IL applications by focusing research efforts to overcome the limitations and exploit the excellent properties of ILs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) represent promising materials for adsorption separation. ILs incorporated into MOF materials (denoted as IL/MOF composites) have been developed, and IL/MOF composites combine the advantages of MOFs and ILs to achieve enhanced performance in the adsorption-based separation of fluid mixtures. The designed different ILs are introduced into the various MOFs to tailor their functional properties, which affect the optimal adsorptive separation performance. In this Perspective, the rational fabrication of IL/MOF composites is presented, and their functional properties are demonstrated. This paper provides a critical overview of an emergent class of materials termed IL/MOF composites as well as the recent advances in the applications of IL/MOF composites as adsorbents or membranes in fluid separation. Furthermore, the applications of IL/MOF in adsorptive gas separations (CO2 capture from flue gas, natural gas purification, separation of acetylene and ethylene, indoor pollutants removal) and liquid separations (separation of bioactive components, organic-contaminant removal, adsorptive desulfurization, radionuclide removal) are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges of IL/MOF are highlighted, and an appropriate design strategy direction for the effective exploration of new IL/MOF adsorptive materials is proposed.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a new class of green solvents that exhibit unique properties in various process applications. In this regard, this study evaluated imidazole-type DESs as solvents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. A series of imidazole-type DESs with different ratios was prepared through one-step synthesis. The absorption capacity of CO2 in imidazole-type DESs was measured through weighing, and the effects of temperature, hydrogen bond acceptors, hydrogen bond donors, and water content were discussed. DESs absorbed the effects of CO2. Im-MEA (1:2) was selected to linearly fit lnη and 1/T using the Arrhenius equation under variable temperature conditions, and a good linear relationship was found. The results show the best absorption effect for Im-MEA (1:4). At 303.15 K and 0.1 MPa, the absorption capacity of Im-MEA (1:4) was as high as 0.323 g CO2/g DES; through five times of absorption-desorption after the cycle, the absorption capacity of DES was almost unchanged. Finally, the mechanism of CO2 absorption was studied using Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The absorption mechanism of imidazole-type DESs synthesized using imidazole salt and an amine-based solution was chemical absorption, and the reaction formed carbamate (-NHCOO) to absorb CO2.

A Prediction for the Conversion Performance of H2S to Elemental Sulfur in an Ionic-Liquid-Incorporated Transition Metal Using COSMO-RS. CHEMISTRY 2022.

Abstract
In the present study, the conversion performance of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to elemental sulfur in ionic-liquid-incorporated transition metals (ILTMs) is predicted using a conductor-like screening model for realistic solvents (COSMO-RS). The predictions were made via the establishment of a correlation between the conversion performance and solubility of H2S in ionic liquids (ILs). All molecules involved were optimized at the DFT/TZVP/M06 computational level and imported on the COSMOtherm program at equimolar conditions. For validation purposes, the solubility of ILs was predicted at 1 bar pressure. Simple regression analysis was used to establish a relationship between the solubility and conversion performance of H2S. The results indicate that the solubility prediction of ILs is accurate (R2 = 93.40%) with a p-value of 0.0000000777. Additionally, the conversion performance is generally found to be dependent on the solubility value. Furthermore, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [bmim][Cl] was chosen as the base IL for incorporating the transition metal, owing to its solubility and selectivity to H2S. The solubility trend of ILTMs is found to follow the following order: [bmim][NiCl3] > [bmim][FeCl4] > [bmim][CoCl3] > [bmim][CuCl3]. According to the viscosity measurements of ILTMs, [bmim][NiCl3] and [bmim][FeCl4] exhibited the highest and lowest viscosity values, respectively. Therefore, [bmim][FeCl4] is a promising ILTM owing to its higher solubility and low viscosity for the application studied.

Abstract
Developing immobilized-ionic liquids (ILs) sorbents is important for CO2 separation, and prior theoretically screening ILs is desirable considering the huge number of ILs. In this study, the compressibility of ILs was proposed as a new and additional index for screening ILs, and the developed predictive theoretical model, i.e., electrolyte perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory, was used to predict the properties for a wide variety of ILs in a wide temperature and pressure range to provide systematic data. In screening, firstly, the isothermal compressibilities of 272 ILs were predicted at pressures ranging from 1 to 6,000 bar and temperatures ranging from 298.15 to 323.15 K, and then 30 ILs were initially screened. Subsequently, the CO2 absorption capacities in these 30 ILs at temperatures from 298.15 to 323.15 K and pressures up to 50 bar were predicted, and 7 ILs were identified. In addition, the CO2 desorption enthalpies in these 7 ILs were estimated for further consideration. The performance of one of the screened ILs was verified with the data determined experimentally, evidencing that the screen is reasonable, and the consideration of IL-compressibility is essential when screening ILs for the immobilized-IL sorbents.

Abstract
The nanoparticles of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) were synthesized and added to ethanolamine/deep eutectic solvent solution to form nanofluid system. The dynamic removal performance of prepared nanofluid system for hydrogen sulfide was investigated. For the system based on choline chloride and urea, the introduction of nanoparticles showed significant enhancement effect on the desulfurization performance. The optimal mass fraction of nanoparticles in nanofluid systems were identified as 0.1%. Besides, the experimental results showed that the prepared nanofluid systems have high regeneration performance, and the presence of moderate moisture is beneficial to the regeneration process. The absorbents and nanoparticles before and after absorption were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrum, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The characterization results showed that the surface of nanoparticle was covered by CoS2 after absorption.

Abstract
Nanocomposite membrane (NCM) is deemed as a practical and green separation solution which has found application in various fields, due to its potential to delivery excellent separation performance economically. NCM is enabled by nanofiller, which comes in a wide range of geometries and chemical features. Despite numerous advantages offered by nanofiller incorporation, fabrication of NCM often met processing issues arising from incompatibility between inorganic nanofiller and polymeric membrane. Contemporary, functionalization of nanofiller which modify the surface properties of inorganic material using chemical agents is a viable approach and vigorously pursued to refine NCM processing and improve the odds of obtaining a defect-free high-performance membrane. This review highlights the recent progress on nanofiller functionalization employed in the fabrication of gas-separative NCMs. Apart from the different approaches used to obtain functionalized nanofiller (FN) with good dispersion in solvent and polymer matrix, this review discusses the implication of functionalization in altering the structure and chemical properties of nanofiller which favor interaction with specific gas species. These changes eventually led to the enhancement in the gas separation efficiency of NCMs. The most frequently used chemical agents are identified for each type of gas. Finally, the future perspective of gas-separative NCMs are highlighted.

Abstract
Solubility of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in 46 single and blended physical absorbents, amines, ionic liquids, and hybrid absorbents of amines + ionic liquids and amines + physical absorbents was successfully predicted based on artificial neural networks (ANNs). Three neural network algorithms of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Bayesian regularization (BR), and scaled conjugate gradient (SCG) were applied for architecting the ANN models. The results showed that both the number of hidden neurons and the prediction algorithm affected the prediction of H2S solubility. Based on the mean square error (MSE) and determination coefficient (R 2), the most attractive model was the LM-ANN model with 17 hidden neurons. As a result, very satisfactory prediction performance (for the testing data set) with an MSE of 0.0014 and an R 2 of 0.9817 was obtained from the developed LM-ANN model. Additionally, a parity chart confirmed that the predicted solubility of H2S well aligned with the experimental data. To effectively absorb H2S and maintain high solubility of H2S, the absorbent should be well complied with the operating pressure. For a low-pressure range of less than 100 kPa, amines are very attractive. As the pressure elevated to 100-1000 kPa, amines and hybrid amine + physical absorbents are suggested. Lastly, at a high pressure over 1000 kPa, physical absorbents and ionic liquids are recommended.

Abstract
The desulfurization and regeneration performance of nanofluids composed of oxidizing ionic liquids and four inert nanoparticles are investigated. The addition of different nanoparticles has been proved to have enhancement effect on the H2S removal performance of oxidizing ionic liquids. The nanofluids with SiO2 nanoparticles showed the most significant strengthening desulfurization performance as well as regeneration performance. The optimal weight ratio of SiO2 nanoparticles in nanofluids was confirmed as 0.5%. The regeneration efficiency of the optimal nanofluid system can exceed 88%, which is far higher than that before the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles. The mass transfer coefficient increased significantly after the addition of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles and nanofluids before and after absorption were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the structure and morphology of SiO2 nanoparticles remained basically unchanged in the absorption-regeneration process. The main final desulfurization product was identified as sulfate.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvent (DES) was applied as the solvent of iron/alcohol amine system, and the prepared iron/ethanolamine/DES system was found to be a good desulfurizer for H2S removal. The absorbents were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The iron/ethanolamine/DES system showed a significantly enhanced desulfurization performance compared with DES solution of iron or alcohol amine separately. Besides, the absorbents showed relatively stable desulfurization performance, which could keep a high H2S removal efficiency in a wide temperature range from 30-90°C. The iron/ethanolamine/DES system could be recycled for at least three times. The desulfurization product was analyzed by energy dispersive spectrum and X-ray diffraction, and the desulfurization product was identified as sulfur element.
