Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of covalent organic framework materials technology, specifically relating to a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, its preparation method and application, which is particularly suitable for separating water and heavy water. Background Technology

[0002] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous and crystalline materials, primarily linked by strong covalent bonds. Due to their unique properties, such as ordered and tunable pore structure, permanent porosity, large specific surface area, ability to be post-modified with active groups, and high thermal and chemical stability, these materials have wide applications in various fields including gas adsorption and storage, separation, catalysis, and optoelectronics.

[0003] The separation of water isotopes is among the most difficult isotopes to separate and has received considerable attention in recent years. The physical properties of water isotopes are very similar, and this similarity presents a significant obstacle to separating water and heavy water using traditional distillation and electrolysis methods. The chemical exchange equilibrium of H₂O, HDO, and D₂O at 298 K indicates that these three substances always coexist when water and heavy water are mixed. Therefore, it is difficult to separate water isotopes using methods based on thermodynamic equilibrium. Since the discovery of heavy water in 1931, the effective separation of water and heavy water has been considered a "century-old problem."

[0004] The pore structure and interaction sites of covalent organic framework materials are very attractive for studying isotope separation mechanisms. However, while COFs have great applications in the separation of gaseous isotopes, their application in the separation of water isotopes is still under exploration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, its preparation method and application. This covalent organic framework material addresses the important challenge of separating water and heavy water by leveraging its high adsorption capacity for water and heavy water and the large difference in their kinetic diffusion coefficients.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows.

[0007] The two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of the present invention has the following structural formula:

[0008] .

[0009] The method for preparing the two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Place trialdehyde-resorcinol and 1,4-diamino-2,5-difluorobenzene in a reaction vessel and mix thoroughly to obtain the first mixture;

[0011] Step 2: Under an inert atmosphere, add dioxane and mesitylene to the first mixture, mix thoroughly by ultrasonication, then add acetic acid to obtain the second mixture; place the reaction vessel in liquid nitrogen at 77 K for freezing, degas after freezing, then seal the reaction vessel and thaw.

[0012] Step 3: Place the reaction vessel at 120°C. o After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain a dark red powder, which is a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups.

[0013] The ratio of the trialdehyde phloroglucinol: 1,4-diamino-2,5-difluorobenzene: dioxane: mesitylene: acetic acid is 0.3 mmol: 0.45 mmol: 1.5 mL: 1.5 mL: 0.5 mL.

[0014] Preferably, the inert atmosphere is nitrogen.

[0015] Preferably, the ultrasound time is 20 minutes.

[0016] Preferably, the acetic acid concentration is 3 M.

[0017] Preferably, the drying temperature is 120°C. o C, drying time is 3 days.

[0018] Preferably, the filtration is performed by vacuum filtration using a membrane filter with a nylon membrane as the filter membrane.

[0019] Preferably, the washing process involves washing with dioxane, repeated multiple times, until the supernatant is colorless.

[0020] The present invention relates to the application of a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in the separation of water and heavy water.

[0021] The principle of this invention is as follows: Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) possess a hydrophobic skeleton, an appropriate density of hydrophilic sites, and one-dimensional open channels, significantly reducing the diffusion and desorption energy barriers of water. This invention regulates the adsorption and desorption capacity of water by introducing appropriate hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, and controls its surface area by rationally adjusting the number of fluorine atoms (with the same number of hydroxyl groups, more fluorine atoms result in a smaller specific surface area). The covalent organic framework material of this invention does not show a significant difference in water vapor adsorption capacity between water and heavy water, but exhibits differences in kinetic performance. These differences can be identified by calculating the diffusion coefficient using a formula, thus enabling the separation of water and heavy water.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] The covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of the present invention has the advantages of large specific surface area, small pore size, good thermal stability, high adsorption capacity for both water and heavy water, and large difference in the kinetic diffusion coefficients of water and heavy water.

[0024] The present invention provides a method for preparing covalent organic framework materials containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, which involves reacting trialdehyde phloroglucinol with 1,4-diamino-2,5-difluorobenzene via a Schiff base and enol tautomerism reaction. The method is simple and easy to operate.

[0025] The two-dimensional covalent organic framework material containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of the present invention is applied to the separation of water and heavy water and has a very good separation effect. Attached Figure Description

Connect the tube to a T-connector and purge with inert gas three times, changing the gas every 10 minutes.
