Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of membrane separation technology, and relates to a technology for successfully preparing a CAU-10-H metal organic framework film for gas separation by modifying a macroporous tubular Al2O3 carrier with aluminum sulfate, in particular to a method for preparing an aluminum sulfate-induced layer on a tubular macroporous alumina carrier and then inducing aluminum-based MOF film formation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Membrane separation technology uses a selective permeation membrane to separate a mixture according to the permeation rates of the components of the mixture under the driving force of a pressure or temperature gradient, and is a potential new separation technology with the advantages of low energy consumption, no secondary pollution, small occupied area, high separation efficiency and the like, and has been widely applied in the field of gas separation or liquid separation.

[0003] Metal-organic framework (MOFs) material is a kind of crystalline material with a regular pore channel and a periodic network structure, which is self-assembled by inorganic metal ions or metal oxide clusters (secondary structural units) and monodentate or polydentate organic ligands rich in multifunctional groups through coordination bonds, and has the advantages of adjustable pore channel size and shape, large specific surface area and easy functionalization of the pore channel.

[0004] The CAU-10-H series of metal organic framework materials were first discovered by Norbert Stock et al. They synthesized the CAU (Christian Albrechts University) series of aluminum-based MOF materials using a simple and universal solvothermal method and systematically studied the reaction system. The preparation method is simple, the structure is stable, and the functionality makes it have potential application value in multiple fields. At present, there are few studies on CAU-10-H membranes for gas separation, and most of them are mixed matrix membranes. Compared with the preparation of polycrystalline MOF membranes, the preparation of mixed matrix membranes is relatively low, and the polycrystalline MOF membrane layer is thinner and the entire membrane layer has a separation effect. When used for gas separation, it can have higher permeation flux and separation factor. At the same time, unlike MOF membranes such as ZIF-8, the preparation of CAU-10-H polycrystalline membranes is more difficult. At present, the carriers used to prepare the polycrystalline CAU-10-H membrane material reported are mostly flaky carriers or tubular carriers with small surface defects and relatively flat surfaces. For example, Zhao et al. in the paper titled Induced Synthesis of an Al-Based CAU-10Tubular Membrane for the Highly Efficient Separation of MeOH / MTBE by Pervaporation (Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2023, 62(44): 18694-18703.) used γ-Al2O3 to induce the preparation of a CAU-10-H membrane on a carrier with a surface defect of only 200 nm for separating MeOH / MTBE, but it did not mention its gas separation performance. Gas separation membranes have higher quality requirements for the membrane itself than liquid separation membranes, so it is difficult to directly apply these preparation methods to the preparation of CAU-10-H membranes on the surface of macroporous tubular carriers. Therefore, in order to prepare a continuous, dense, flat and defect-free CAU-10-H membrane on the surface of a macroporous tubular carrier, the homologous metal induction method needs to be improved.

[0005] To this end, the present application proposes a method for modifying the surface of a macroporous tubular alumina carrier with aluminum sulfate, which realizes the preparation of a continuous, dense and flat CAU-10-H membrane on the surface of a cheap macroporous tubular carrier. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for modifying a tubular macroporous carrier with aluminum sulfate, thereby preparing a CAU-10-H membrane for gas separation on a tubular macroporous alumina carrier.

[0007] The application relates to the following application concept: the application uses a cheap micrometer-sized carrier with large holes and no separation performance, which is low in price and has many defects. The synthesis conditions of the CAU-10-H film on the tubular carrier are harsh, and it is difficult to form the film on the micrometer-sized large-hole carrier without any treatment on the carrier, so the aluminum sulfate solution is introduced to the carrier to effectively modify the micrometer-sized large-hole defects on the surface of the carrier, and the growth of the CAU-10-H film layer is provided with an aluminum source, which is beneficial to the heterogeneous nucleation of the CAU-10-H crystal and the close combination of the film layer and the carrier, so that the CAU-10-H film can be crystallized and formed on the micrometer-sized large-hole carrier.

[0008] The technical scheme of the application is as follows:

[0009] A method for preparing a CAU-10-H film for gas separation on a large-hole tubular carrier by means of aluminum sulfate modification, and the steps are as follows:

[0010] (1) configuring an aluminum sulfate solution

[0011] Aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate is dissolved in deionized water, and after being fully stirred, ultrasonic is used to make it dissolve and disperse uniformly;

[0012] (2) hot dip coating of the aluminum sulfate solution

[0013] A polytetrafluoroethylene cylindrical plug matched with the size of the carrier tube port is selected, the surface of the plug is wound with a polytetrafluoroethylene raw material belt, and then the plug is pressed into the two ends of the carrier tube to ensure the airtightness of the carrier tube; the sealed carrier tube is preheated under constant temperature conditions; hot dip coating is carried out: the carrier tube is vertically and uniformly fully immersed in the aluminum sulfate solution from above the aluminum sulfate solution, the longitudinal axis of the carrier tube is kept perpendicular to the liquid surface of the aluminum sulfate solution, and after the immersion is completed, the carrier tube is slowly taken out to ensure that a uniform liquid film is formed on the surface of the wall of the carrier tube; the above operation is repeated to perform gradient coating; through the preheating treatment, residual water and adsorbents in the pores of the tubular carrier can be removed, so that the combination of the aluminum sulfate and the surface of the carrier becomes easy. At the same time, since the alumina carrier has a certain water absorption, the preheated carrier is placed in the solution at room temperature, the carrier quickly absorbs water, the concentration of the aluminum sulfate near the carrier tube slowly increases, so that more aluminum sulfate is loaded on the carrier, and the surface defects of the tubular carrier are better modified.

[0014] (3) calcination and solidification

[0015] The coated carrier tube is placed on an iron stand to ensure that the tube body is vertical and is placed in the center of a muffle furnace; a program-controlled temperature curve is set: in the first stage, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 400 DEG C at a rate of 1 DEG C / min, in the second stage, the temperature is kept constant for 300 min for dehydration treatment, in the third stage, the temperature is lowered to below 100 DEG C at a rate of 1 DEG C / min, and then the heating system is turned off for natural cooling.

[0016] (4) Preparation of CAU-10-H membrane

[0017] CAU-10-H membranes were prepared using a solvothermal method. The carrier tube with the introduced homologous metal induction layer was sealed at both ends with PTFE stoppers and placed in a PTFE-lined reactor. The synthesis solution was added, and the reactor was sealed again and reacted at 120°C for 8 hours. The composition of the synthesis solution was: metal source to organic ligand molar ratio Al... 3+ The ratio of DMF to H2O is 1:4, with a solvent volume ratio of C8H6O4 = 1:1; using Al 3+ The concentration meter showed that the concentration of the synthesis solution was 0.18 mol / L. After the reaction was completed, the solution was naturally cooled to room temperature. After being removed, it was soaked and cleaned with deionized water and anhydrous methanol for three days, with the solvent being changed twice during each period. It was then vacuum dried overnight at 80°C. After being fully dried, it was placed in a desiccator for single-component gas permeation testing.

[0018] The ultrasonic treatment conditions in step (1) include: ultrasonic frequency 20-40kHz, treatment time 20-40min, and treatment temperature maintained at 20-40℃; the mass fraction of aluminum sulfate in the impregnation solution is controlled within the range of 0.5%-2%.

[0019] During the sealing process in step (2), it is necessary to ensure that the plug is fully embedded in the port to a depth of more than 3mm to ensure that the plug will not fall off during the immersion process.

[0020] The sealing process in step (2) specifically includes: using a polytetrafluoroethylene sealing plug in conjunction with raw material tape for double-end sealing, with a sealing depth ≥3mm; the preheating temperature is 100-200℃, and the duration is 1.5-2.5h; the hot impregnation parameters include: impregnation time 10-30s, impregnation liquid temperature maintained at 15-30℃; and gradient coating times 2-4 times.

[0021] The CAU-10-H membrane obtained in step (4) was subjected to a single-component gas permeation test using a gas permeation testing device to evaluate the compactness and gas separation performance of the prepared CAU-10-H membrane. The specific operation was as follows: The membrane was sealed in a tubular membrane module using an O-ring. One end of the membrane was sealed, and the other end was connected to a soap bubble tube. The feed side pressure was controlled at 0.1 MPa using a back pressure valve. The permeate side was connected to the soap bubble tube and then allowed to circulate with the atmosphere. The time taken for a certain volume of gas to pass through the membrane was obtained using a stopwatch and a soap bubble flow meter. All tests were conducted at room temperature.

[0022] The gas permeation rate is represented by P, and the unit is mol / (m²). 2• s • Pa), which is defined as the number of moles of gas per unit membrane area per unit time per unit transmembrane pressure, and the ideal gas selectivity is denoted by a, which is defined as the ratio of the permeation rates of two different gases:

[0023]

[0024] Advantages of the present application:

[0025] (1) The present application successfully prepared a dense CAU-10-H membrane on a macroporous alumina support tube. The CAU-10-H polycrystalline membrane reported in the literature uses a flat support with fewer defects, usually less than 200 nm, while the present application is suitable for a larger defect tube support, which is low in price. The method of preparing an induced layer by aluminum sulfate can make the induced layer thinner and the binding force stronger, improve the continuity of the prepared membrane and shorten the time required for the crystallization step.

[0026] (2) The surface of the macroporous support is modified by aluminum sulfate, which not only fills the defects of the rough surface of the macroporous support, but also plays an inducing role, strengthens the binding force of the support surface to the membrane layer, and at the same time reduces the membrane formation inside the support, retains the developed gas transmission channels inside the macroporous support, and the obtained CAU-10-H membrane has a high gas permeation rate, while maintaining good H2 / CO2 ideal selectivity.

[0073] The test results of the CAU-10-H membrane prepared by homologous metal induction are shown in Table 1. Figure 7 The H2 flux of 1.09 x 10 -7 mol·m -2 ·s -1 ·pa -1 The ideal selectivity of H2 / CO2, H2 / N2, and H2 / CH4 reached 31.66, 4.17, and 3.80, respectively, all of which were greater than the Knudsen diffusion selectivity (4.7, 3.7, and 2.8), proving that the obtained CAU-10-H membrane had no intergranular defects and the method was feasible. The ideal selectivity of H2 / CO2 reached 31.66, indicating that the membrane obtained by this method had a certain separation ability for gases. The lowest permeation rate of CO2 was because the cis-linked AlO6 polyhedron in the CAU-10-H framework and the defect sites in the structure and the interbenzene dicarboxylic acid ligand linked thereto had a strong adsorption effect on CO2, resulting in a reduced diffusion rate.
