Dissolution and hydrolysis of fibre sludge using hydroxyalkylimidazolium hydrogensulphate ionic liquids
Abstract The dissolution and hydrolysis of wet fibre sludge in ionic liquids (ILs) with different reaction conditions are performed in this study. Novel types of hydroxyalkylimidazolium hydrogensulphate ILs, [glymim]HSO 4 , [hemim]HSO 4 and [hpmim]HSO 4 , are especially designed and aimed to combine the dissolution and hydrolysis of wet fibre sludge in a one-step pretreatment. The results were obtained based on the analysis of total reducing sugars (TRS) with the DNS method. The dissolution and hydrolysis of fresh wild horse chestnut fruit ( Aesculus hippocastanum ) with the same ILs were also carried out as a comparison reference. Since fibre sludge is cellulose based and horse chestnut fr…
Effect of Superbasic Ionic Liquids on the Synthesis of Dendritic PolyaminesviaAza-Michael Addition Reaction
Catalytic effect of selected superbasic ionic liquids on the yield and selectivity of aza-Michael addition of ethylenediamine and ammonia to acrylonitrile was investigated. The reactions were performed in calorimetric reactor equipped with RT-IR probe (real-time IR), where all energy changes associated with chemical reactions and physical transformations were monitored. Catalytic activity of selected superbasic ionic liquids in aza-Michael addition ethylenediamine and ammonia to acrylonitrile were determined and obtained polynitriles were then hydrogenatated to final three- and four-directional dendritic polyamines. The products were characterized by instrumental analytical methods, includi…
