Abstract: | Certain organic superbase ionic liquids (ILs) have shown good cellulose dissolution and fiber regeneration performance, allowing us to obtain high-quality textile fibers. However, there is a lack regarding the IL recovery from the spinning bath and its purification, which is essential for the economic viability of the process. Aiming to understand methods to separate ILs from water for reuse/recycle, the use of pressure-driven membrane processes to recycle ionic liquids from aqueous solution was investigated. The recovery of two superbase ILs, 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-enium acetate, [mTBDH][OAc], and 5-methyl-1,5,7-triaza-bicyclo[4.3.0]non-6-enium acetate, [mTBNH][OAc], were studied using different types of membranes (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, RO). Additionally, pressure, IL concentration, temperature, and multicycle effect were evaluated. Significant retentions (>45%) were obtained for the nanofiltration and RO membranes (NF270-NF and BW30LE-RO). The increase in pressure and temperature resulted in an increase in volumetric flux and a decrease in IL retention. On the other hand, IL concentration decreased the volumetric flow and rejection. For the serial filtration tests, a three-fold ionic liquid concentration was achieved, for a maximum concentration of 14 wt % of the ionic liquid. The membrane filtration methodology proved to be an efficient technique for carrying out the preconcentration of the IL from dilute solutions. |
