Thermo-switchable hydrophobic solvents formulated with weak acid and base for greener separation processes

Résumé

Switchable solvents are changing properties when exposed to an external stimulus. As example, for thermomorphic multiphasic system (TMS), temperature changes can induce phase separations. Aqueous systems presented here are formulated with a carboxylic acid (weak acid) and an amphiphilic tertiary amine (weak base). They show thermo-switchable hydrophobicity and after separation, the weak acid and base are mainly found in the organic phase while the aqueous phase is mostly composed of water, up to 99 wt%. The phase separation temperature (cloud point) can be tuned from 20 to 80 °C depending on the choice of the carboxylic acid and on the acid: base molar ratio. A collection of saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids and benzoic acid derivatives have been investigated to evaluate the impact of different physico-chemical properties on the cloud point. The octanol/water partition coefficient (log P) and acidic constant (pKa) were identified as key physico-chemical properties to adjust the phase separation temperature. Finally, as illustration of the efficiency of these systems to remove a chemical from water, it has been shown that 99 % extraction of an anionic dye, methyl orange, could be achieved with most of the tested TMS.
