Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adsorption material technology, and particularly relates to a reversibly mutated metal framework adsorption material, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel type of crystalline porous material formed by metal ions and organic ligands. Due to their inherent characteristics such as directional structural design and abundant porosity, they have wide applications in ion adsorption, gas storage and separation, catalysis, drug delivery, and sensing. Among these MOFs, those capable of controllable transformations of their microstructure in response to external environmental stimuli have attracted considerable attention due to their unique macroscopic properties.

[0003] With the acceleration of industrialization, environmental pollution problems are becoming increasingly serious, especially the pollution from heavy metal ions such as cadmium. These ions not only damage ecosystems but also seriously threaten human health. Currently, adsorption has become an economical and efficient strategy for treating cadmium-containing wastewater, and MOF materials, as excellent adsorbents with tunable structures, have been widely studied. However, there are still many practical problems to be solved in the application of MOF materials for cadmium ion adsorption.

[0004] Therefore, how to obtain a MOF material with good adsorption capacity for cadmium ions, and whether the structure can be recycled, is currently a key focus of those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a reversibly interchangeable metal framework adsorbent material, its preparation method, and its application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for preparing a reversibly tautomer metal framework adsorbent material includes the following steps:

[0008] Anhydrous calcium chloride and 2,5-pyrazine dicarboxylic acid were dissolved in a mixed solvent, and then concentrated nitric acid was added for heating to generate a one-dimensional MOF material (Ca-MOFs-1D). The resulting solid product was then activated at 50-420℃ for 24 hours, during which the coordination of calcium changed, and the one-dimensional MOF structure transformed into a three-dimensional MOF material (Ca-MOFs-3D) in the solid phase, thus obtaining the reversible interconversion metal framework adsorbent material.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The principle of reversibility: As the activation temperature increases, the reduction of coordinated water molecules triggers the recombination of the coordination structure, causing the material structure to transform from one-dimensional to three-dimensional. Reversibility can be achieved through a solvothermal method: the material is redissolved in a mixed solvent, and with the original composition remaining unchanged, the recoordination of water molecules allows the material to recover its original structure.

[0010] Preferably, the molar ratio of anhydrous calcium chloride to 2,5-pyrazine dicarboxylic acid is 1:1.

[0011] Beneficial effect: The structure formed under this ratio is a one-dimensional structure.

[0012] Preferably, the mixed solvent is obtained by mixing N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and water at a volume ratio of 2:1.

[0013] Beneficial effect: The one-dimensional material exhibits the best crystallization state under this solvent ratio.

[0014] Preferably, the volume ratio of concentrated nitric acid to the mixed solvent is 100 μL: 6 mL.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The addition of an appropriate amount of concentrated nitric acid helps the reaction to proceed and promotes the formation of coordination structures.

[0016] Preferably, the heating reaction is carried out at a temperature of 80°C for 48 hours.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The reaction temperature and reaction time allow the one-dimensional material to reach its optimal crystallization state.

[0018] Preferably, the activation temperature is 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 100°C, 140°C, 180°C, 220°C, 320°C, or 420°C.

[0019] Beneficial effects: By exploring a series of activation temperatures, the optimal structural transformation conditions can be determined, thereby optimizing the pore structure of the material, improving its adsorption performance, and ensuring that the material achieves the best results in the application of cadmium adsorption.

[0020] Preferably, the structural restoration of the reversible and reversible metal framework adsorbent material includes the following steps:

[0021] The reversible and tautomer metal framework adsorbent material is dissolved in a mixed solvent, and then concentrated nitric acid is added for heating reaction. After the reaction is completed, the structure of the reversible and tautomer metal framework adsorbent material is restored.

[0022] Beneficial effect: The reversible and reversible metal framework adsorbent material can be restored from a three-dimensional structure to a one-dimensional structure by a solvothermal method, which proves the structural reversibility of the material.

[0023] A method for preparing a reversibly tautomer metal framework adsorbent material.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The material can be reversibly transformed between one-dimensional and three-dimensional structures. This characteristic allows the material to adjust its porosity and three-dimensional spatial structure according to temperature changes, thereby significantly affecting its macroscopic adsorption performance.

[0025] Application of a reversibly tautomer metal framework adsorbent in the adsorption of cadmium ions in water.

[0026] Preferably, the adsorption temperature is 35°C.

[0027] Beneficial effect: The adsorption effect is optimal at this adsorption temperature.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0029] This invention achieves a transformation of a metal framework material from a one-dimensional to a three-dimensional structure through precise control of the activation temperature. This structural change significantly optimizes the material's porosity, thereby increasing its adsorption capacity for cadmium ions. The unique structural transformation characteristics of the metal framework material provided by this invention offer a new strategy for the structural research of MOFs (Metal-Oxide-Foil) materials, enabling the material to adjust its porosity according to temperature changes and significantly improving its macroscopic adsorption performance. Furthermore, this invention allows for the recyclability of the material's structure through structural restoration. Finally, the preparation process provided by this invention is simple, offering a new strategy for cadmium ion wastewater treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0080] Characterization tests:

[0081] The reversible and interconvertible metal framework adsorbents obtained in Examples 1-10 were characterized.

[0082] 1. SEM Analysis

[0083] The metal framework adsorbents obtained in Examples 2-4 were characterized by SEM, and the results are as follows: Figure 2-4 As shown, it can be observed that the material maintains its complete crystal morphology at an activation temperature of 60℃. With the activation temperature gradually increasing, slight cracks appear on the crystal surface when the temperature reaches 70℃. Further increasing the activation temperature to 80℃, the crystal fracture becomes more pronounced, the surface becomes rougher, and the porosity increases, indicating that the internal structure of the material has changed, which may affect its adsorption capacity.

[0084] 2. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis

[0085] The metal framework adsorbents obtained in Examples 1-5 and 7 were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, and the results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the diffraction pattern changes with increasing activation temperature, indicating that the structure of the adsorbent material gradually transforms. At an activation temperature of 80℃, its microstructure changes, and subsequent single-crystal structure data confirms that the material completely transforms from a one-dimensional to a three-dimensional structure.

[0086] 3. Crystal parameter analysis

[0087] Crystallographic analysis was performed on the Ca-MOFs-1D metal framework adsorbent obtained in step (1) of Example 1 and the Ca-MOFs-3D whose structure was transformed at 80℃ in Example 4. The crystallographic data are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Ca-MOFs-1D crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group C2 / c, and its asymmetric unit contains a Ca 2+ It contains one deprotonated organic ligand and four water molecules. One of these is Ca... 2+ Ca coordinates with the nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen on the two pyrazine rings to form five-membered rings, and this process is repeated to form a one-dimensional chain structure similar to the "Heisenberg spin chain model" in the longitudinal direction. 2+ The remaining coordination sites are laterally allocated to the oxygen in the four water molecules, and laterally maintain a certain spacing in the one-dimensional chain structure (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown). When the temperature rises, due to Ca... 2+ With the number of coordination water cells reduced to one, the crystal (Ca-MOFs-3D) transforms from monoclinic to triclinic (space group P-1). Correspondingly, Ca 2+ The coordination centers move closer together, forming an alternating structure of four-membered and five-membered rings. The chains are connected by organic ligands to construct a three-dimensional structure, forming certain cavities and channels (such as...). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the crystallographic data of the metal framework adsorbent material changed after activation, indicating that its crystal structure underwent a transformation.

[0095] Application Example 1

[0096] The reversible tautomer metal framework adsorbent materials obtained in Examples 1-10 are applied to the adsorption of cadmium ions, including the following steps:

[0097] 25 mg of the adsorbent was added to an aqueous solution with a cadmium ion concentration of 500 mg / L. The solution was incubated at 35°C with shaking for 12 hours. The supernatant was collected and filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous membrane. The concentration of cadmium ions in the filtrate was measured, and the adsorption capacity was calculated. The adsorption capacity is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the adsorption effect of the prepared adsorbent material on cadmium ions improves with increasing activation temperature, reaching its maximum and stabilizing after 80℃. However, when the activation temperature is further increased from 220℃, the adsorption capacity of the prepared adsorbent material for cadmium ions gradually decreases. Considering both adsorption efficiency and economic factors, an activation temperature of 80℃ is optimal.

[0098] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
