Carbon-dioxide Fixation

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

Carbon dioxide fixation in prokaryotes enables the assimilation of inorganic carbon into organic molecules, supporting biosynthetic pathways, sustaining ecosystems, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. It also has industrial applications in carbon capture and bioproduct synthesis. Autotrophic organisms rely on this process to utilize CO₂ as a carbon source in diverse environments.The Calvin CycleThe Calvin cycle is the most widespread carbon fixation mechanism, primarily used by...

Carbon Dioxide Transport in the Blood

Carbon Dioxide Transport in the Blood

Carbon dioxide (CO2) transport in the blood is critical to human physiology. On average, our body cells produce around 200 mL of CO2 per minute, precisely the quantity expelled by the lungs. This process involves the transportation of CO2 from the tissue cells to the lungs in three primary forms.
Forms of CO2 Transport
1. Dissolved in plasma: A small percentage (7-10%) of CO2 is transported and dissolved directly in the plasma.
2. Carbaminohemoglobin: Just over 20% of CO2 is chemically bound to...

Molecular and Ionic Solids

Molecular and Ionic Solids

Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Ionic Radii

Ionic Radii

Ionic radius is the measure used to describe the size of an ion. A cation always has fewer electrons and the same number of protons as the parent atom; it is smaller than the atom from which it is derived. For example, the covalent radius of an aluminum atom (1s22s22p63s23p1) is 118 pm, whereas the ionic radius of an Al3+ (1s22s22p6) is 68 pm. As electrons are removed from the outer valence shell, the remaining core electrons occupying smaller shells experience a greater effective nuclear...

Ionic Bonds

Ionic Bonds

Overview
When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.
Opposing Charges Hold Ions Together in Ionic Compounds
Ionic bonds are reversible electrostatic interactions between ions...

Solubility of Ionic Compounds

Solubility of Ionic Compounds

Solubility is the measure of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure. Solubility is usually measured in molarity (M) or moles per liter (mol/L). A compound is termed soluble if it dissolves in water.

Background:

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are porous materials with potential applications in gas adsorption.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture remains a critical challenge in mitigating climate change.
Ionic liquids (ILs) possess unique properties, including high CO2 solubility, making them promising for gas separation.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize novel ionic-liquid-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs).
To investigate the CO2 adsorption performance of these modified ZIFs.
To evaluate the effectiveness of IL modification for enhancing CO2 capture capacity.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of ZIFs using 2-methylimidazole and amine-functionalized ionic liquid as co-ligands.
Characterization of the synthesized materials, including surface area and pore size analysis.
Measurement of CO2 adsorption capacity at 25 °C and 800 mmHg.

Main Results:

The ionic-liquid-modified ZIF exhibited a specific surface area of 1707 m²·g⁻¹ and an average pore size of 1.53 nm.
The synthesized material demonstrated a CO2 adsorption capacity of 24.9 cm³·g⁻¹, significantly higher than pristine ZIF (16.3 cm³·g⁻¹).
The enhanced performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of high surface area and ILs' CO2 solubility.

Conclusions:

Modification of ZIFs with ionic liquids is an effective strategy to improve CO2 adsorption.
Ionic-liquid-functionalized ZIFs show promise as advanced solid sorbents for CO2 capture.
This approach offers a viable route for developing materials for carbon capture technologies.
