Brønsted acidity

Brønsted acidity refers to the ability of a substance to act as a proton donor (H⁺). This concept, formulated by Daniel Brønsted in 1923, remains a cornerstone of acid-base chemistry. In the context of gas-capture materials like PIMs, it allows for the selective adsorption of acidic or basic gases by tuning the backbone's functional groups. For example, carboxylated PIMs show enhanced affinity for NH₃ due to Brønsted acid sites. This principle is critical for compliance with international standards like ISO 14121 and the Taiwan Greenhouse Gas Emission--Reduction Regulation, which require accurate identification and monitoring of emissions.

In practice, Brønsted acidity principles are applied through a three-step approach: Identification, Selection, and Verification. First, companies identify the acidic or basic gases present in their operations (e.g., SO₂ in power plants, NH₃ in semiconductor-related processes). Second, they select adsorption materials or sensors with complementary Brønsted acidity/basicity, such as PIMs with tailored functional groups. Third, they verify the selectivity and sensitivity of these materials against NIST-traceable standards. For instance, a semiconductor firm might use carboxylated PIMs to selectively capture NH₃ from a-gas-filled-chamber, achieving a selectivity ratio of over 10:1. This quantitative approach ensures compliance with the Taiwan Greenhouse Gas Emission-Reduction Regulation and reduces the risk of accidental leaks. The measurable benefit includes a 30% reduction in gas-related compliance risks within the first year of implementation.

Taiwan enterprises typically face three challenges: technical expertise gaps, high initial R&D costs, and evolving regulations. To overcome the talent gap, companies should partner with academic institutions like National Taiwan University or NTU Chemical Engineering for R&D-driven solutions. Regarding costs, a phased implementation approach—starting with high-impact gases like SO₂ or NO₂—allows for better ROI-based decision-making.
