Molecular dynamics simulations of phase behaviour and structural studies of guanidinium triflate ionic liquid and its mixture with water and N-methyldiethanolamine for carbon dioxide removal / Naimah Haron
Molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations with an all-atom force field have been carried out to understand the phase equilibrium behaviour of aqueous guanidinium triflate [gua][OTf] ionic liquid (IL) (binary system) at 440.15 K, as well as the phase equilibrium behaviour of N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA)...

Molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations with an all-atom force field have been carried out to understand the phase equilibrium behaviour of aqueous guanidinium triflate [gua][OTf] ionic liquid (IL) (binary system) at 440.15 K, as well as the phase equilibrium behaviour of N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) with aqueous [gua][OTf] IL (ternary system) at 298.15 K. This work further elaborated the understanding of absorption mechanism of carbon dioxide (CO2) into ternary system at 298.15 K. For binary system, the simulations measured changes in different physical properties such as density, structural, bonding properties (radial distribution function (RDF)), water clustering and hydrogen bonding) and dynamic property (diffusion coefficient (D)). It was observed that water molecules started to connect with one another and formed a large hydrogen bond network throughout the system with an increasing water molar fraction. While for the ternary system, it is shown that the molecular level is slightly affected by the presence of MDEA and [gua][OTf] molar fractions. For MDEA-water interactions in [gua][OTf] media, MDEA prefers to be surrounded by water molecules rather than by MDEA molecules even at high MDEA molar fraction. Meanwhile, for [gua][OTf]-water interaction in MDEA media, as [gua][OTf] molar fraction increases, more water molecules replace counterions in the coordination shell of both [gua] and [OTf] ions, thus weakening their interaction.
