Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of porous material synthesis and gas separation technology, specifically to a class of inorganic fluorine-containing anion-functionalized microporous materials, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the separation of high-purity gases and carbon capture are popular industrial research areas. Low-carbon hydrocarbons (including ethylene) are important basic chemical raw materials, widely used in various fields of manufacturing such as plastics, rubber, and masks, with huge demand. Industrially, multi-step separation methods such as catalytic dehydrogenation are commonly used, but the conversion rate is limited when preparing low-carbon olefins, and a large amount of alkanes are inevitably introduced into the products. Currently, cryogenic distillation is a commonly used technology for separating low-carbon olefins / alkanes in industrial production. This traditional gas separation and purification technology has high energy consumption, large equipment investment, and complex processes, resulting in high energy consumption and operating costs. The energy consumption for separating and removing alkanes from olefins accounts for approximately 0.3% of global energy consumption. Therefore, the development of efficient, energy-saving, clean, and environmentally friendly ethylene / ethane separation technology is urgently needed. Carbon capture is not only one of the key technologies for the low-carbon utilization of fossil energy, but also a feasible technical solution for deep decarbonization in industries with difficult emission reduction, such as steel, cement, and chemicals. Currently, among the mainstream CO2 capture methods, cryogenic distillation and liquid absorption both face the challenge of high energy consumption. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new separation technologies to achieve low-energy-consumption and high-efficiency gas separation and carbon capture.

[0003] Adsorption separation technology based on porous materials does not involve phase change and is a highly efficient and energy-saving separation technology. Due to its advantages such as low energy consumption, low cost, simple industrial process, and high product purity, this technology can achieve high product purity and yield, and has enormous potential for industrial applications.

[0004] For example, current olefin / alkane adsorption separation methods mainly fall into two categories: target gas preferential adsorption and impurity gas preferential adsorption. The adsorption-desorption process of the target gas preferential adsorption separation method is relatively complex, while the impurity gas preferential adsorption method can directly collect high-purity target gas in one step, with a simpler process, making it a more ideal method for high-purity gas production. For the separation and production of olefins and alkanes, preferential adsorption of alkanes is clearly a simpler and more efficient method. The core of the development and breakthroughs in adsorption separation technology based on porous materials lies in the design and synthesis of novel, highly efficient porous materials, which ideally possess high adsorption selectivity and excellent adsorption and separation capabilities. Among these, porous coordination polymers such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), molecular sieves, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent performance in olefin and alkane separation and efficient carbon capture. For example, Zhang et al. designed and synthesized a fluorine-containing anion-supported material, ZU-36-Ni, which is composed of the metal ion Ni...+ Inorganic anion GeF6 2- It coordinates with the organic ligand pyrazine to form a highly efficient olefin / alkane separation. Its IAST separation selectivity for an ethylene / ethane (50 / 50) mixture at 298 K and 1 bar is 2.5 [Zhang Z, Ding Q, Cui X, et al. Fine-Tuning and Selective-Binding within an Anion-Functionalized Ultramicroporous Metal-OrganicFramework for Efficient Olefin / Paraffin Separation[J].ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2020, 12(36):40229-35.]; Ding et al. reported an inorganic oxygen-containing anion-functionalized material ZnAtzPO4, which showed an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 1.92 mmol g for ethylene at 298 K and 1 bar. -1 The selectivity for ethylene / ethane separation was 12.4% [Ding Q, Zhang Z, Yu C, et al. Exploiting equilibrium-kinetic synergetic effect for separation of ethylene and ethane in a microporous metal-organic framework[J]. Science Advances, 2020, 6(15): eaaz4322.]. These microporous materials have also been reported to perform well in carbon capture, exhibiting high carbon dioxide adsorption capacity. However, no one has yet reported on the simultaneous introduction of inorganic fluorine-containing anions and azole ligands to construct materials for application in olefin and alkane separation and carbon capture.

[0005] In summary, the separation of ethylene and ethane still faces significant challenges. Furthermore, preferential adsorption of alkanes can directly remove alkane impurities from olefins, yielding high-purity olefin products, making it a more ideal method for alkane separation and removal. Moreover, for efficient carbon dioxide capture, there is an urgent need to develop high-performance adsorption and separation materials to improve the efficiency of the separation process.
