Abstract
A unified CO2-amine reaction mechanism applicable to absorption in aqueous or nonaqueous solutions and to adsorption on immobilized amines in the presence of both dry and humid conditions is proposed. Key findings supported by theoretical calculations and experimental evidence are as follows: (1) The formation of the 1,3-zwitterion, RH2N+-COO-, is highly unlikely because not only the associated four-membered mechanism has a high energy barrier, but also it is not consistent with the orbital symmetry requirements for chemical reactions. (2) The nucleophilic attack of CO2 by amines requires the catalytic assistance of a Bro̷nsted base through a six-membered mechanism to achieve proton transfer/exchange. An important consequence of this concerted mechanism is that the N and H atoms added to the C=O double bond do not originate from a single amine group. Using ethylenediamine for illustration, detailed description of the reaction pathway is reported using the reactive internal reaction coordinate as a new tool to visualize the reaction path. (3) In the presence of protic amines, the formation of ammonium bicarbonate/carbonate does not take place through the widely accepted hydration of carbamate/carbamic acid. Instead, water behaves as a nucleophile that attacks CO2 with catalytic assistance by amine groups, and carbamate/carbamic acid decomposes back to amine and CO2. (4) Generalization of the catalytic assistance concept to any Bro̷nsted base established through theoretical calculations was supported by infrared measurements. A unified six-membered mechanism was proposed to describe all possible interactions of CO2 with amines and water, each playing the role of a nucleophile and/or Bro̷nsted base, depending on the actual conditions.

Abstract
The absorption of CO2 into an aprotic heterocyclic anion ionic liquid (IL) is modeled using reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC) with the semigrand reaction move. RxMC has previously been unable to sample chemical equilibrium involving molecular ions in nanostructured liquids due to the high free-energy requirements to open and close cavities and restructure the surrounding environment. Our results are validated by experiments in the modeled IL, triethyl(octyl)phosphonium 2-cyanopyrrolide ([P2228][cnp]), and in a close analog with longer alkyl chains on the cation. Heats of absorption and reaction from both experiment and simulation are exothermic and of comparable magnitude. Replacing experimental Henry's constants with their simulated counterparts improves the accuracy of a Langmuir-type model at moderate pressures. Nonidealities that affect chemical equilibrium are identified and calculated with high precision.

Abstract
![]()
Syngas
is an important intermediate in the chemical process industry. It
is used for the production of hydrocarbons, acetic acid, oxo-alcohols,
and other chemicals. Depending on the target product and stoichiometry
of the reaction, an optimum (molar) ratio between hydrogen and carbon
monoxide (H2:CO) in the syngas is required. Different technologies
are available to control the H2:CO molar ratio in the syngas.
The combination of steam reforming of methane (SRM) and the water-gas
shift (WGS) reaction is the most established approach for syngas production.
In this work, to adjust the H2:CO ratio, we have considered
formic acid (FA) as a source for both hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
Using thermochemical equilibrium calculations, we show that the syngas
composition can be controlled by cofeeding formic acid into the SRM
process. The H2:CO molar ratio can be adjusted to a value
between one and three by adjusting the concentration of FA in the
reaction feed. At steam reforming conditions, typically above 900
K, FA can decompose to water and carbon monoxide and/or to hydrogen
and carbon dioxide. Our results show that cofeeding FA into the SRM
process can adjust the H2:CO molar ratio in a single step.
This can potentially be an alternative to the WGS process.

Abstract
The effect of confinement on the equilibrium reactive system containing nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide is studied by molecular simulation and the reactive Monte Carlo (RxMC) approach. The bulk-phase reaction was successfully reproduced and five all-silica zeolites (i.e. FAU, FER, MFI, MOR, and TON) with different topologies were selected to study their adoption behavior. Dinitrogen tetroxide showed a stronger affinity than nitrogen dioxide in all the zeolites due to size effects, but exclusive adsorption sites in MOR allowed the adsorption of nitrogen dioxide with no competition at these sites. From the study of the adsorption isotherms and isobars of the reacting mixture, confinement enhanced the formation of dimers over the full range of pressure and temperature, finding the largest deviations from bulk fractions at low temperature and high pressure. The channel size and shape of the zeolite have a noticeable influence on the dinitrogen tetroxide formation, being more important in MFI, closely followed by TON and MOR, and finally FER and FAU. Preferential adsorption sites in MOR lead to an unusually strong selective adsorption towards nitrogen dioxide, demonstrating that the topological structure has a crucial influence on the composition of the mixture and must be carefully considered in systems containing nitrogen dioxide.

Abstract
A new formulation of the Reaction Ensemble Monte Carlo technique (RxMC) combined with the Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo method is presented. This method is denoted by serial Rx/CFC. The key ingredient is that fractional molecules of either reactants or reaction products are present and that chemical reactions always involve fractional molecules. Serial Rx/CFC has the following advantages compared to other approaches: (1) One directly obtains chemical potentials of all reactants and reaction products. Obtained chemical potentials can be used directly as an independent check to ensure that chemical equilibrium is achieved. (2) Independent biasing is applied to the fractional molecules of reactants and reaction products. Therefore, the efficiency of the algorithm is significantly increased, compared to the other approaches. (3) Changes in the maximum scaling parameter of intermolecular interactions can be chosen differently for reactants and reaction products. (4) The number of fractional molecules is reduced. As a proof of principle, our method is tested for Lennard-Jones systems at various pressures and for various chemical reactions. Excellent agreement was found both for average densities and equilibrium mixture compositions computed using serial Rx/CFC, RxMC/CFCMC previously introduced by Rosch and Maginn (Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2011, 7, 269-279), and the conventional RxMC approach. The serial Rx/CFC approach is also tested for the reaction of ammonia synthesis at various temperatures and pressures. Excellent agreement was found between results obtained from serial Rx/CFC, experimental results from literature, and thermodynamic modeling using the Peng-Robinson equation of state. The efficiency of reaction trial moves is improved by a factor of 2 to 3 (depending on the system) compared to the RxMC/CFCMC formulation by Rosch and Maginn.

Abstract
This review is designed to foster the discussion regarding the viability of postcombustion CO2 capture by water-lean solvents, by separating fact from fiction for both skeptics and advocates. We highlight the unique physical and thermodynamic properties of notable water-lean solvents, with a discussion of how such properties could translate to efficiency gains compared to aqueous amines. The scope of this review ranges from the purely fundamental molecular-level processes that govern solvent behavior to bench-scale testing, through process engineering and projections of process performance and cost. Key discussions of higher than expected CO2 mass transfer, water tolerance, and compatibility with current infrastructure are presented along with current limitations and suggested areas where further solvent development is needed. We conclude with an outlook of the status of the field and assess the viability of water-lean solvents for postcombustion CO2 capture.
