Correction to “Intensification Mechanism of Acidic Imidazole-Based Ionic Liquids on the Synthesis of 1,3,5-Trioxane Catalyzed by Sulfuric Acid”

Abstract

The authors regret to report that they have identified two errors in the article published in 2024. Based on these errors, the corrigendum to the original article is as follows: Corrigendum to Abstract: “The yield of TOX was increased from 13.84 to 16.95% with the addition of 0.5 mol [PS₂Im]HSO₄ per kilogram of FA solution” is corrected to “The yield of TOX was increased from 4.21 to 5.14% with the addition of 0.5 mol [PS₂Im]HSO₄ per kilogram of FA solution”. Corrigendum to eq 3: Equation 3 is corrected as shown below. The second sentence of paragraph two in Section 2.2.2, “The number 5.35 is the calibration coefficient of the GC analysis” was corrected to “The number 4.87 is the calibration coefficient of the GC analysis”. Corrigendum to the Supporting Information: The new version of the standard curve for TOX quantification is corrected as Figure SC2 of Supporting Information with this Correction. Corrigendum to Figure 3: Figure 3 is corrected as shown below. Figure 3. Variation of TOX concentrations in reaction liquids with reaction time. (a) H₂SO₄ (0.6 mol/kg) + ILs (0.1 mol/kg) and (b) H₂SO₄ (0.6 mol/kg) + ILs (0.5 mol/kg) (The FA concentration in the feed stream was 50 wt %, and the reaction temperature was 100 °C. Lines were fitted by eq 9. Dots were experimental results.) Corrigendum to Table 1: Table 1 in original article is corrected as shown below. mol/kg = molality [mol × (kg FA aqueous solution)⁻¹]. The equilibrium concentration of TOX in reaction solutions. k₁ and k₂ are, respectively, the rate constants of the forward and the reverse reactions with a 50 wt % FA solution at 100 °C. K is the equilibrium constant of reaction in eq 1. Corrigendum to description of the experimental results in Section 3.2: Lines 4–13 of paragraph two in Section 3.2, the sentences “When 0.1 mol/kg of [PMIm]HSO₄, [PSMIm]HSO₄ and [PS₂Im]HSO₄ were respectively added, the equilibrium yields of TOX were 14.35, 15.04, and 15.58%, respectively. Compared with 13.84%, which was the equilibrium yield of TOX with H₂SO₄ as catalyst, the relative increments were 3.7, 8.7, and 12.6%, respectively. When the ILs dosages were increased to 0.5 mol/kg, the equilibrium yields of TOX were increased to 16.19, 16.49, and 16.95%, respectively. Compared with the equilibrium yield of TOX with H₂SO₄ as catalyst, the increments were 16.9, 19.1, and 22.5%, respectively” are changed to “When 0.1 mol/kg of [PMIm]HSO₄, [PSMIm]HSO₄ and [PS₂Im]HSO₄ were respectively added, the equilibrium yields of TOX were 4.35, 4.56, and 4.72%, respectively. Compared with 4.21%, which was the equilibrium yield of TOX with H₂SO₄ as catalyst, the relative increments were 3.3, 8.3, and 12.1%, respectively. When the IL dosages were increased to 0.5 mol/kg, the equilibrium yields of TOX were increased to 4.91, 5.01, and 5.14%, respectively. Compared with the equilibrium yield of TOX with H₂SO₄ as catalyst, the increments were 16.6, 19.0, and 22.1%, respectively”. Corrigendum to Figure 7: Figure 7 is corrected as shown below. Figure 7. Relationship between the water activity of composite catalyst aqueous solutions (25 °C and 96.3 kPa) and the equilibrium yield of TOX in different reaction systems. Corrigendum to sentence in Conclusions: The sentence “And the yield of TOX increased from 13.84 to 16.95% with an increment of 22.5%” is corrected to “And the yield of TOX increased from 4.21 to 5.14% with an increment of 22.1%”.
