RT Journal Article T1 Molecular simulation of SO2 separation and storage using a cryptophane-based porous liquid A1 Collado, Pablo A1 Piñeiro, Manuel M. A1 Perez Rodriguez, Martín K1 2307 Química Física K1 2206 Física Molecular AB A theoretical molecular simulation study of the encapsulation of gaseous SO2 at different temperature conditions in a type II porous liquid is presented here. The system is composed of cage cryptophane-111 molecules that are dispersed in dichloromethane, and it is described using an atomistic modelling of molecular dynamics. Gaseous SO2 tended to almost fully occupy cryptophane-111 cavities throughout the simulation. Calculations were performed at 300 K and 283 K, and some insights into the different adsorption found in each case were obtained. Simulations with different system sizes were also studied. An experimental-like approach was also employed by inserting a SO2 bubble in the simulation box. Finally, an evaluation of the radial distribution function of cryptophane-111 and gaseous SO2 was also performed. From the results obtained, the feasibility of a renewable separation and storage method for SO2 using porous liquids is mentioned.
