Synthesis and Characterization of Acetate Based Ionic Liquid for C02 Removal

This report basically discusses the preliminary research done and basic understanding of
"Synthesis and Characterization of Acetate Based Ionic Liquid for C02 Removal". This
project aims at simulation modeling for studying the C02 solubility and its behavior towards
ionic liquids at room temperature with variable pressure condition. The simulation process part
is currently running byusing special software for simulation ofionic liquid called COSMO-RS
software. The simulation process is selecting two types of ionic liquid which are l-butyI-3-
methyHmidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and l-butyl-3methylimidazoliiim
acetate as a sample solution for C02 removal. This report basically remains consist of four
sections. The first section is on the introduction partof the project including background study
ofthe project, problem statement, objectives and scope ofstudy and relevancy ofproject. The
next section is on the literature review. In this section, there will be a brief theory on the ionic
liquids regarding the characteristics, conditions and experimental data from journal for C02
solubility in ionic liquids. Then this report followed by third chapter which is methodology that
covers on the steps and process flow of simulation using COSMO-RS software for examining
two selected types ofionic liquids. Lastly in final section which is result and discussion part for
complete simulation process regarding the selected ionic liquids. Final results are presented by
validating some parameters such as interaction energy and sigma profile for completion of
simulation data regarding the particular types ofionic liquids that has been selected earlier.
