130 TAYLOR 􏲣 CARBONELL 􏲣 DESIMONE 3.2 Metal Extractions The interest in using CO2 for metal extractions has been to capitalize on enhanced diffusivity (mass transfer) and pressure tunability—characteristics that should allow for facile separations (16). The polymer-ligand-metal complexes that form can be readily precipitated from solution by altering the CO2 pressure. Most of the work in CO2 metal extractions has employed common extracting ligands, such as β-diketones, dithiocarbamates, and organophosphorus reagents (25a–h, 26–28). When fluorine-containing moieties are incorporated into the chelating ligands, the metal complexes show enhanced solubility in CO2 (25c,e,g; 27; 28g; 29). Yazdi and Beckman attached CO2-philic oligomer or polymer moieties—consisting of either highly fluorinated or polysiloxane groups—to ligands, improving both the solubility of the metal-ligand complex as well as the ligand extraction efficiency (30a–d). For example, perfluoropolyether-based extractants with dithiocarbamate, dithiol, and picolylamine head groups require only 1.5 eq of chelate for efficient CO2-extractions of mercury (57%–87%), lead (20%–75%), and arsenic (31%– 58%) in CO2 at 2000 psi and room temperature. Powell et al have taken a different approach to incorporate multiple ligand sites onto the backbone of a single CO2- soluble fluorinated acrylate polymer chain, allowing for up to 30 wt % polymer in CO2 (31) (see Figure 8, see color insert). Preliminary extraction efficiencies of 59% were obtained using ligand to metal ratios of 2.7 to 1. CO2-Swellable Supports Environmentally benign cleaning and extraction processes are in high demand, with the search focusing on a solvent and detergents capable of removing a broad range of contaminants from solid and liquid substrates. A combination of physico- chemical processes contributes to the overall contaminant removal rate, including adsorption and penetration of surfactants into the contaminant film, reduction in viscosity as a result of solvent penetration, shear, and secondary solubilization and diffusion into the bulk phase. The development of novel surfactants for CO2 has greatly increased the interest in this solvent for cleaning and extraction processes (52). Cross-linked fluoropolymer beads of 30 μm to 2 mm can be obtained during the controlled agitation of a well-designed suspension polymerization. Crette ́ & DeSimone have prepared beads of this type that swell more than 200% in CO2 (S Crette ́ & JMD DeSimone, unpublished results). Several potential applications for these beads exist, including separation of gas mixtures containing CO2. More specifically, CO2/methane separations can be performed through a high-pressure column filled with fluorinated beads. The gas mixture will be impoverished in carbon dioxide, which will plasticize the fluorinated part of the beads (Figure 13, see color insert). Transition metal and enzymatic catalysis are two other fields of application. Fluorinated copolymers are designed and synthesized either with ligand sites for metal coordination or enzyme attachment sites. 3.3
