Thus, recovering and reusing NH<sub>3</sub> is highly valuable. Ionic liquids (ILs) have shown great potential for NH<sub>3</sub> capture, where the accurate prediction of solubility is a critical point for selecting ILs and designing a separation process. This work combined the Ionic Fragment Contribution (IFC) strategy with machine learning (ML) to develop four models (IFC-ML) to predict NH<sub>3</sub> solubility in ILs. A dataset containing 785 solubility data points, covering 10 cations and 10 anions, was collected. From this dataset, the <em>S</em>1–<em>S</em>6 descriptors based on the IFC method were used as inputs for the ML models, together with temperature (<em>T</em>) and pressure (<em>P</em>). Among the models, the IFC-GBR model was recommended for predicting NH<sub>3</sub> solubility in ILs due to its higher coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) of 0.9945 and lower mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0003 than the others. Additionally, in comparison with previous conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) and extreme learning machine (ELM) methods, the IFC-GBR (gradient boosting regressor) method showed a more accurate prediction of the NH<sub>3</sub> solubility in ILs over a wider range of temperatures and pressures, providing additional chemical insights into IL-NH<sub>3</sub> system that cations played a more important role for NH<sub>3</sub> solubility. These results highlighted the developed IFC-GBR model offered valuable insights for helping guide the process design of absorbing NH<sub>3</sub> through IL-based technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":66474,"journal":{"name":"Green Chemical Engineering","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 223-232"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143594169","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}
