The effects of key physicochemical parameters—including pH, stirring time, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and sorbent dosage—were systematically investigated. The sorbent demonstrated high selectivity performance and efficiency for Cr(VI) removal, highlighting a maximum adsorption capacity of 35 mg/g, which is 20 times greater than that of native chitin, at an optimum pH of 2. Interference studies with coexisting ions confirmed the robustness of the sorbent to remove Cr(VI) under competitive conditions.

Understanding IL stability and understanding what decomposition products arise when ILs do degrade will help us better understand potential environmental threats. While stability raises concern in terms of persistent environmental pollution, it is also one of the major strengths of ILs toward their many applications. From understanding degradation mechanisms that could be at play during use under extreme conditions to understanding the products that may form during incomplete incineration, a molecular-level understanding of IL thermal transformations is also desirable beyond the environmental concern. Ideally, such a molecular-level understanding could eventually lead to better predictions of thermal stability as a function of structure prior to synthesis and experimental characterization. In this work, the pyrolysis products of nine ILs, each with the chloride anion and various N-heterocyclic cations, were studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and these results were compared to the unimolecular gas-phase dissociation behavior of the respective isolated cations. By comparing these two experimental approaches, differences between unimolecular decomposition pathways and bimolecular decomposition or transformation pathways could be explored. Further, these comparisons shed light on whether gas-phase dissociation of the isolated cation, which is a very straightforward experiment, could be used to provide any insights into bulk pyrolysis pathways. Overall trends, class-based trends, and behaviors specific to only certain species are identified and discussed. This work provides new molecular insights into the pyrolysis of ILs by studying an array of cations, including those with functionalized R-groups, and by integrating results from bulk pyrolysis with those from collision-induced dissociation of the isolated cation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ionic Liquids","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143760429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
