CO, a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas, is notoriously difficult to remove under conventional conditions. A series of DESs were prepared and screened, revealing that the ethanol-modified system [Emim]Cl-CuCl-1.0E exhibited optimal CO elimination performance under conditions of 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Further investigations measured the viscosity-temperature relationship and thermal stability of this system while systematically examining the effects of temperature, CO contact time, and storage duration on its elimination efficiency. Analysis by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy indicated that Cu(I) ions play a crucial role in the CO absorption process. The introduction of ethanol significantly enhanced the activity of the Cu(I) ions, thereby effectively improving the CO elimination capacity of the system. This study proposes a novel potential method for managing CO in goaf areas and provides an experimental foundation for the application of DESs in the field of gas purification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31050772","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,25]],"date-time":"2026-02-25T13:37:37Z","timestamp":1772026657000},"page":"772","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Low-Viscosity Copper-Based Deep Eutectic Solvent for Carbon Monoxide Elimination at the Return Corner of Coal Mining Faces"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2965-2921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tianyu","family":"Xin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Safety Science and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Huludao 125105, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xihua","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Safety Science and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Huludao 125105, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yashengnan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Safety Science and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Huludao 125105, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Safety Science and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Huludao 125105, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weiji","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanics and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junguang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanics and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanics and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaxu","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Construction, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"33710","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.4c02771","article-title":"Research on CO migration patterns in shallowly buried coal seam composite goafs","volume":"9","author":"Mao","year":"2024","journal-title":"ACS Omega"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14424","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-18804-6","article-title":"Study on generation, migration and accumulation of CO in the mining goaf of shallow-buried close distance coal seam group","volume":"12","author":"Li","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sci.
