Abstract
Fluorine-based protic ionic liquids (FILs) have unique chemical and structural properties that make them attractive in applications that involve harsh conditions like high temperature and high salinity. In this study, we synthesized the seven FILs with primary amines having varied alkyl chain lengths. The chemical structure was confirmed by NMR, and FTIR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the FILs was evaluated by the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Additionally, the surface properties and thermodynamic parameters of the three most important FILs were also examined in this study. The long-term thermal and salt tolerance test was performed for three different types of water with having salinity range from 0 to 241,000 ppm. The results showed that the degradation temperature of all synthesized FILs was higher than the reservoir temperature. The surface-activity findings demonstrated that FILs with the alkyl chain range from (C6-C12) have excellent surface properties. However shorter chain (C2-C4) showed very little surface reduction, and the longer chain (C14-C16) faced solubility issues, which hindered the determination of their surface tension. The salt tolerance results provide stable and transparent solutions after one week of ageing at 90 °C. These findings exhibited the importance of the molecular structure of the FILs with their desired properties for the application at high temperature and high salinity conditions.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
