It is well known that the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a significant threat to human health and the ecological environment, and toluene is a typical representative of aromatic VOCs, whose elimination makes an important contribution to the prevention and control of air pollution. Absorption is the classical process to eliminate air pollutants, but the application of absorption is often constrained by absorbent and gas-liquid mass transfer. In recent years, process intensification has become an important development in the chemical industry, and nanotechnology can effectively reduce mass transfer resistance and improve gas-liquid mass transfer effectiveness. This work aims to evaluate the effect of adding nanoparticles on the gas-liquid mass transfer process. The effects of TiO2, Al2O3, and SiO2 nanoparticles on the removal of toluene by green solvent low transition temperature mixtures (LTTM) were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The mass transfer enhancement factors of the toluene absorption process were measured at different concentrations and sizes of TiO2, Al2O3, and SiO2 nanoparticles, absorption temperatures and number of cycles. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the microscopic properties of LTTM and toluene were performed. Based on the MD simulation results, the toluene density distribution, interaction energy, radial distribution function, spatial distribution function, and self-diffusion coefficient were calculated, which helped to explain the absorption mechanism of toluene gas. The findings demonstrated that nanoparticles can alter the gas-liquid mass transfer process, and provided a method and theoretical reference for enhancing the toluene absorption process.

纳米流体吸收甲苯的实验及分子动力学模拟研究

众所周知,挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的排放对人类健康和生态环境构成重大威胁,而甲苯是芳香族VOCs的典型代表,其消除对大气污染防治具有重要贡献. 吸收是消除空气污染物的经典过程,但吸收的应用往往受到吸收剂和气液传质的制约。近年来,过程强化成为化工行业的重要发展,纳米技术可以有效降低传质阻力,提高气液传质效率。这项工作旨在评估添加纳米粒子对气液传质过程的影响。TiO 2 , Al的作用实验和理论研究了2 O 3和 SiO 2纳米颗粒对绿色溶剂低转变温度混合物 (LTTM) 去除甲苯的影响。在不同浓度和大小的 TiO 2、Al 2 O 3和 SiO 2下测量甲苯吸收过程的传质增强因子纳米粒子、吸收温度和循环次数。对 LTTM 和甲苯的微观特性进行了分子动力学 (MD) 模拟。基于MD模拟结果,计算了甲苯密度分布、相互作用能、径向分布函数、空间分布函数和自扩散系数,有助于解释甲苯气体的吸收机理。研究结果表明纳米粒子可以改变气液传质过程,为增强甲苯吸收过程提供了方法和理论参考。
